For residents of the Granite State, the outdoors is a second home. This means that the state consists of horse lovers, boat enthusiasts, family campers, and snowmobile riders. To make sure that your outdoor hobby travels safely, it’s important to have a trailer. But do you know whether your hobby is protected during travel?
If you have liability insurance, which isn’t required by law, your trailer may be partially covered, but what happens if you’re in an accident and your trailer is totaled? Or your cargo is damaged? Liability insurance can’t cover those repairs or replacements. There are many different types of trailers and each one has unique insurance needs. The horse trailer with a breeding stallion may need more coverage than the pop up enclosed trailer you only use once a month.

What Are My Coverage Options?
Purchasing the right policies and New Hampshire trailer insurance coverage amounts is a personal decision, but it can be hard to understand how much risk you face without speaking to a professional. Here are a few types of trailer insurance:
- Trailer liability: If you cause an accident and your trailer is responsible for property damage or bodily injury, you’re held responsible. While your vehicle insurance may cover a portion, it isn’t guaranteed. Trailer liability can be used if the injured party needs to make a claim that isn’t covered by your vehicle insurance.
- Comprehensive trailer coverage: Damage can be caused by a variety of elements. While liability pays for another person’s damage, this policy pays for your trailer’s repairs. Additionally, if your trailer is damaged by fire or smoke, severe weather, theft, or vandalism, this policy assists you with paying for repairs.
- Total loss replacement: You can insure your trailer at replacement cost or actual cash value, depending on the policy. If your trailer is less than 5 years old, try to find a policy that will insure it at replacement cost. Otherwise, many policies will only insure your trailer for actual cash value.
- Trailer contents coverage: If you carry valuable cargo, this policy is valuable. It will add to your premium, but without it, contents aren’t covered at all.
Emergency expenses/roadside assistance: If you become stranded on the side of the road, a trailer may be more difficult to fix than your standard vehicle. This policy ensures that someone experienced in trailer emergency repair is at your side.
