What Is Trailer Insurance?

Some car insurance or commercial vehicle insurance policies offer a certain amount of coverage for an attached trailer, but this coverage often cannot cover the entire cost of an accident or crime that involves your trailer. In addition, the coverage usually provides no protection for the valuable equipment, merchandise, and property you tow inside the trailer. Trailer insurance is an inexpensive addition to your vehicle insurance policy meant to address the extra risk incurred by towing a trailer. It can cover the following:

Liability: This can help with the extra expenses you may face if someone files a bodily injury or property damage claim against you after an accident.
Comprehensive: This can help with the cost of repairing or replacing your trailer after a covered event such as a fire, hailstorm, tornado, vandalism or theft.
Total loss replacement: This coverage can help you to purchase a new trailer if someone steals the old one or your trailer is beyond repair after an incident. You can choose to purchase actual cash value coverage or replacement cost coverage. Replacement cost coverage may cost a bit more than actual cash value coverage, but it can usually pay the cost of a new trailer in full, rather than the cost of a depreciated trailer.
Contents: This is an option you may need if you keep valuable items in your trailer. It can cover your tools and property against accidents and theft, up to a certain limit.
