Why are powersports insurance rates skyrocketing?
Why are major carriers leaving the market? And what can dealers actually do about it?
Jacob Berry sits down with Zach Materne, Commercial Risk Consultant and former dealership operator, to unpack the real reasons coverage is getting harder to find, and how to protect your store before renewal.
Zach explains what’s behind insurer exits like K&K and Harco, the truth about test ride and event coverage, and the #1 claim dealers don’t see coming: false pretense.
He also shares practical ways to audit your coverage, prepare before renewal, and build a risk management culture that keeps your team, your customers, and your margins protected.
Listen in to understand how to treat insurance like a system — not just a piece of paper.
