What is covered by motorhome insurance in Calgary?

Calgary motorhome insurance can cover:

Physical damage to your motorhome, its contents and outbuildings
Third-party liability and accident benefits coverage
Premises liability if you have a permanent lot
Personal liability if you’re a full-timer
Emergency vacation expenses
Outdoorsy rental

Exactly what coverage you’ll need will depend on your individual situation. For example, if you’ve permanently parked your motorhome, you may need contents and outbuilding coverage but don’t need the third-party liability or accident benefits. If you travel full-time, your needs will be different than someone who only uses their motorhome to escape Edmonton’s long, cold winters.

Our motorhome insurance brokers in Edmonton can advise you on what coverage you need.

Physical Damage

Calgary motorhome insurance can cover physical damage to your motorhome, its contents, and outbuildings (if you have a permanent lot). Commonly covered causes of physical damage are:

Wind

Hail

Fire

Flooding (if you have the overland water endorsement)

Theft

Vandalism

Collision

Upset

Impact by other vehicle, aircraft or watercraft

Impact by a falling object (like a tree)

Third-Party Liability, Accident Benefits & Direct Compensation Property Damage Coverage

If you drive your motorhome, you are required to carry third-party liability, direct compensation property damage and accident benefits coverage.

Third-party liability helps cover legal expenses if you’re sued. Direct compensation property damage helps cover the repair costs to your vehicle if you’re not at fault or partially at fault for a collision. Accident benefits helps cover your medical care and other benefits.

We recommend carrying at least $2 million of protection due to the high cost of accidents. This is particularly important if you travel to the US.

Premises Liability

If you own a permanent lot, you should have premises liability coverage. This covers your legal expenses if you’re sued after someone is hurt or has their property damaged while visiting your lot.

Personal Liability

If you travel full-time in your motorhome, you should have personal liability protection. This covers your legal expenses if you’re sued after someone is hurt or has their property damaged due to your unintentional actions.

Emergency Vacation Expenses

If you have a covered claim, emergency vacation expenses provides funds to cover additional costs to continue your trip, wait while repairs are completed, or to get home.

We include $3000 of emergency vacation expenses free of charge. You can upgrade this coverage as well.

Which motorhome loss settlement option is best for me?

The best loss settlement for your Calgary motorhome insurance will depend on the age of your motorhome, your insurance budget, and your personal preferences.

Your loss settlement is the calculation of the amount you receive if your motorhome is a total loss in a covered claim.

You have two options for your loss settlement:

Actual Cash Value – the market value of your motorhome, or the purchase price minus depreciation.

Guaranteed Purchase Price – what you paid for the motorhome including all taxes (amount shown on the bill of sale), only available until the motorhome is 5 years old.

If your motorhome is permanently parked, you have four loss settlement options:

Guaranteed Replacement Cost – Available for motorhomes 10 years old or newer, you will receive a brand new motorhome of similar kind and quality. The unit must be insured to the MRSP of a new unit.

Replacement Cost Plus – you will get a replacement travel trailer that is up to 110% of the MRSP of your current unit new. This is available to permanently parked motorhomes 10 years old or newer.

Replacement Value – Available for permanently parked motorhomes 15 years old and newer, you’ll receive the value of a new motorhome that is of similar type and quality.

Actual Cash Value – You’ll receive the market value of your motorhome (or the purchase price minus depreciation).
