Collision is first party coverage only. the only exposure on that coverage is your own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Just an fyi to those with kids under 16 and/or without a drivers licence. TD just informed us they will no longer insure kids with Operator Permits - no G licence - no insurance with TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the OFSC still have a insurance company that they endorse like they used to...I think it was sledder choice insurance at one point?

No, Started the search now - likely will end up in the facility pool and may have to restrict him to only his sled while on trails etc. - we'll see how it goes. Its a bit of a bummer and now just making more work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operators permit has many restricstions anyways. No road riding is one, so how does an young operator stay legal with that rule and follow to road sections that exist all over trail system today?

What is unfortunate is it will just force us to have to got the facility market now and pay through the nose for our child to enjoy the trails. Insurance companies!

Insurance companies! That’s what I mean. They are descrimating by age. Td wouldn’t take my four wheeler years ago. They said farming use is commercial they don’t insure that. My broker gave me pretty good coverage.Everytime I mention snowmobiles his eyes roll 🤪. He don’t want sleds either it seems. Says he can get it but rates aren’t best that’s for sure. under writers won’t like sleds it seems. Hopefully you can find insurance for your son 😎.

I’ve been with TD for decades, Looks like I’m just under the line with my 16 year old now, but they are making their money on him being a primary driver on my old ktm 350 exc!

Most commenting are saying The Personal and Desjardins will still insure kids with the snowmobile operator certificate. But the lady who started the topic was declined by The Personal. But there are several who say TD still does as well. But if they haven't called in to make a change in their policy then maybe they haven't been told yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Trying to find insurance on a kids sized dirt bike is just as hard for the last few years. (Desjardins and The Personal are the same company) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
