When I dunked mine the insurance company asked if I was on a trail, thankfully I was. Not sure what would have happened if I wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t really members of association by buying a trail permit. I have no club membership card number or get financial reports every quarter, unfortunately. I think if a club approached personal with its members and mass amount of people put thier sled there, that would maybe qualify. I use federation of agriculture membership to get group rates at insurance companies. I try that with personal and see what they say and give them a copy of my card and membership number.

I believe that every permit buyer is a member of the OFSC. The OFSC is a not for profit organization and if the people who invest the money in it by purchasing permits are not members of the organization then who the hell is? No one else other than occasionally the Ontario gov't. thru a grant invests any money in the organization. Financial and other information from the OFSC is distributed to Districts and clubs, not permit purchasers. Are you a member of a snowmobile club? Putting a club name on the permit application does not necessarily make you a member of said club although it may with some clubs.. If you want the information you need to be a club member. That may require a few bucks and or volunteering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless their "rules" have changed, that's not true...we have had our "toys" (formerly 2 sleds, now 1, formerly 2 quads, now 1) with The Personal for about 7 years, and are not members of any "group" or association.

whits-end Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Not a rule, but Personal did approach some organizations with offers of 'good deals' a few years ago. That was the reason we switched some of our business to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The Personal, when it started was for group members only, they may have eased those restrictions to keep in the market, but at one time it was group only. Example, back in the day, if you worked for Bell or Hydro One, they had programs for those employees and preferred rates. CIBC used to handle their insurance claims, but they no longer do as CIBC exited the market and sold to Desjardins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nut shell I carry $1M liability, Accident benefits is standard , Collision and loss or Damage( all perils with including collision $500 deductable) How does the coverage compare to yours??? I also carry a $1M personal liability policy that allows me to carry the minimum amount of auto liability on my cars and still have $1.3M liability, it's cheaper then carrying a $1M or more on each vehicle Below is my Sled insurance details.

Most companies won’t go any higher on sleds either. I have an umbrella policy now that covers me up to 5 million liability, on all vehicles and toys I own. Piece of mind.
