Snowmobiling is a fun recreational activity that people enjoy during the winter months. It is also a mode of transportation for others. A snowmobile is an automotive vehicle designed for travel on snow and ice. It is steered by skis in the front and propelled by a belt of track at the back. The first one was made by a Quebec mechanic in 1935, and today there are more than 600,000 registered snowmobiles in Canada. If you own a snowmobile, it is important to have insurance, as it is against the law if you don't. The coverage helps to protect you and others from any accidents and injuries. It is not required to have insurance if it is only being driven on private property (i.e your property).
Snowmobile insurance is a specialty insurance product that not all insurance companies offer. You can see if your current insurance provider offers it to get a discount for having both policies with them. Otherwise, you will need to get stand-alone coverage, which can be more expensive than adding it to your existing policy. Contact your Surex Advisor today for more details!

I had an excellent experience setting up the insurance for my first car with Ashley at Surex. She was fast, professional, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. Ashley made the process smooth and stress-free, answered all my questions promptly and found me a great price. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for outstanding and reliable insurance service!!!!
I have nothing but exceptional service from Ashley Bushfield at Surex, quickly responds and takes cares of anything I need for my insurance needs… prices are amazing too… thanks for everything you do!! Highly recommended!!
Mostly great help but I feel when your contract wasn’t renewed for car insurance contacting your customers by email should have at least should got a phone call to their customers when the email wasn’t acknowledged by customer for whatever reasons… but something as important as having no insurance should have required a phone call by the company and the broker should have an alternative option for it’s customers
I had a great experience with Ashley at Surex. She was able to get me insured the same day and sent over my policy right away. The process was quick, and smooth. I’m very happy with the quality of her work and the service, I’d definitely recommend Ashley and Surex to anyone in Ontario looking for reliable insurance.
