Optional Autopac > Off-Road Extension
Seasonal Rating for ORV's
For your convenience, optional products for Off-Road Vehicles can be purchased in conjunction with your Basic Autopac coverage. As well, your premiums are based on the period when your ORV is in use--your actual riding season--rather than the whole year.
The riding seasons established for ORVs are as follows:
| Snowmobiles: | December 1 to March 31 |
| ORV Motorcycles: | May 1 to September 30 |
| ORV ATV's: | January 1 to December 31 |
The riding season is defined as 4-months for snowmobiles and 5-months for ORV motorcycles. Because ATVs can be used throughout the year, the riding season is set over 12-months.
When purchasing extension coverage for your off-road vehicle, you won't pay the premiums until the 'riding season' begins. For example, if you purchase an extension product for your snowmobile in June, payment of your premium is deferred until December 1st. At that time, you can either pay the premium in full, or finance it by monthly withdrawal from a bank account or credit card. If you choose financing, the premium plus interest will be withdrawn in equal monthly installments during the riding season.
Remember, with ORV extension coverage, you have protection throughout the year, even though your premium is earned and paid for over the shorter period.
Cancellation and refunds on these extension products are done on a daily pro-rata basis within the riding season. For example, if you cancel extension coverage on your snowmobile on February 28, your refund will be based on the unused period March 1 to March 31. If you cancel after the end of the riding season, you won't get any money back since the entire premium will have been earned during the season of use.
