Recreational Vehicles & Off Road Vehicles Insurance

Recreational Vehicle Insurance

Recreational vehicles such as motor homes, camper units and vacation trailers can be insured through ICBC or by a private insurance company.

Coverage ranges from Named Perils to Broad Form Perils.  For units that qualify we can obtain “Guaranteed Replacement Cost” as well as coverage for personal property and emergency vacation expenses.

To provide you with an accurate quote we require a completed application.

ATV's, Snowmobiles, Trail Bikes, and Dune Buggies. Currently we offer liability up to $2,000,000, Accident Benefits and physical damage options of “all risk”, comprehensive or specified perils. Discounts averaging in excess of 25% are available to club members, and further discounts for safety training courses and immobilizers are also available if you qualify.
