What Is Mobile Home Insurance?

Mobile home insurance is a set of policies put together in order to offer residents protection from some of the most prevalent incidents that can occur. A typical mobile home insurance policy may include the following:

  • Liability coverage: This is designed to help you when you're found responsible or at fault for injury to someone else or damage to someone else's property. In the case of a lawsuit, liability insurance can help with legal defense, legal fees and settlements.
  • Property damage: If your mobile home is damaged by an incident such as fire, wind, hail, or vandalism, this can help get your the repairs you need.
  • Personal property: This coverage is designed to help cover your personal belongings within the mobile home against damage from incidents like vandalism, theft, fire, wind and hail.
  • Medical payments: If someone is injured on your property and needs medical attention, this coverage may help pay those expenses.

Other types of coverage are available, so it's always recommended that you get at least two quotes in order to find the best coverage for your individual situation and risks.

Mobile Home vs. Manufactured Home vs. Modular Home

Manufactured homes and mobile homes are insured differently from modular homes. Typically, mobile homes and manufactured homes are insured more like a vehicle, since they can be moved and relocated.

A modular home is insured much like a conventional home, since it is constructed similar to a conventional home, by bringing the home in piece by piece and building it on a foundation. Both of these types of homes can be insured, but it's important to know the difference when shopping for insurance.
