Are ATVs Expensive To Maintain?

The expenses that come with ATV riding don’t end after you have bought your dream ATV and taken it for a ride. Just like any other vehicle, it also comes with maintenance costs.

  • Maintenance/Repairs– The sky’s the limit when it comes to maintenance expenses. For example, the cost of a general tune-up can cost anywhere between $100-$400 and includes anything from changing the oil, swapping out spark plugs, etc. However, if you want to let the professionals handle it, be ready to shell out around $80-100/hour on labor fees alone.
  • ATV insurance Cost– The average cost of ATV insurance will range from $100 to $1,600 annually depending on your desired coverage.
  • ATV Gear Cost– The total cost of gear is a very large range. For your essential ATV riding gear including ATV helmets and protective clothing, expect to spend around $600 and up depending on your needs and budget.
  • Riding permits– Expect to spend around $150 annually for this one. 
  • ATV tires– Like cars, ATVs need tire changes at some point. Depending on where you are riding, how you are riding, and what type of tires you have, the cost can range from $50- $400 per tire.
