Is Travel Trailer insurance required in Airdrie?

Travel trailer insurance isn’t legally required in Airdrie. However, if you’ve financed your RV, your lender will likely require you to have insurance coverage. It’s also a good idea to have if you couldn’t afford major affairs or to replace your travel trailer if it’s damaged.

No one wants to think of the worst-case scenario but if you’re involved in an accident, you’ll be prepared to face the aftermath without worrying with proper insurance coverage.

Does my car or home insurance policy cover my Travel Trailer?

It depends. If you’re in an accident at any point on your adventure, of course you want to be protected. But your car insurance policy will only offer liability insurance and your home insurance may only offer limited protection or even none at all.

A car insurance policy will only cover you for third-party liability insurance for your trailer when you’re towing it. If you’re in an accident, your insurance will not cover any damage to your trailer. In some cases, another driver’s insurance may cover repair or replacement but will depend on the situation and their coverage.

Some home insurance companies will allow you to add your travel trailer to your policy. However, there are several potential cons to doing this:

• Limited coverage
• Eligibility requirements
• Full value insurance is dependent on your trailer.
• Home rates can increase due to claims.

Not every insurer will allow you to add your trailer to your policy either.

It’s advised to chat with a travel trailer insurance broker in Airdrie about your specific needs before you head out on the open road.

Comprehensive Personal liability

If a visitor steps into your trailer, falls and gets hurt, or you unintentionally cause damage to someone’s property and you get sued, a travel trailer insurance policy will cover your legal fees. This is usually covered by your homeowners policy. We add this if you are a temporary resident only.

If your travel trailer is parked on a lot rented or leased by you and someone gets hurt or injured while visiting you, you’ll have financial protection if you get sued.  For example, your RV resort lot or storage location.

Emergency Vacation Expenses

Our policies include emergency vacation expenses. If you have a covered claim, this can help cover accommodation while your RV is being repaired or transportation to get you home or to continue on with your adventures. We offer different levels of coverage so you can get the basics or go the extra mile and purchase additional vacation expenses coverage for all your needs.
