Find Trailer Insurance Savings in Kansas

Kansas is a beautiful state, with flat prairies and booming downtown areas. The residents of Kansas enjoy a vast array of outdoor activities, including ATV riding, boating, camping, hiking, and much more.

Many of these activities are made easier with the help of a trailer. ATVs, boats, motorcycles, horses -- all of these can require a trailer in order to make traveling safe. Towing a trailer can be dangerous, as well, especially if you're not trailer savvy.

Some Relevant Facts

Since 1988, over 7,500 people have been killed or injured by trailers.
Injuries from trailer-related accidents have totaled more than $38 million.
One of the top causes of trailer-related accidents is a loose towing connection.

Towing accidents happen, no matter which type of trailer you're towing. Even experienced drivers who tow frequently can be involved in accidents, as other drivers may not be familiar with the rules of the road regarding driving around or behind a trailer. Whether you're towing a boat, ATV, or a livestock trailer, it's advantageous to have trailer insurance in place before hitting the road.

What is Trailer Insurance in Kansas?

Trailer insurance is a set of policies designed to protect you, your trailer and its contents from liability and loss when a covered event occurs. It resembles an auto policy, but is usually much more affordable. If you use your trailer for commercial purposes, commercial trailer insurance is required. The following is what a typical, non-commercial trailer insurance policy looks like:

Liability: Liability insurance is designed to remedy any damage you cause. This may be in the form of property damage, vehicle damage, or personal injury. Liability insurance can also cover your legal defense fees in case you are sued in regards to an accident.
Comprehensive: Comprehensive insurance pays for "everything other than collision." This means events like fire, theft, wind damage, and rain damage are covered.
Collision: Collision coverage will repair your trailer if you are involved in an accident, regardless of fault.
Contents coverage: While covering the trailer itself is important, what's inside the trailer may be worth much more. Contents coverage will cover items such as personal belongings, livestock, etc.
Roadside assistance: If you end up stranded while towing your trailer, this coverage can get you help, quickly.
Full-timer insurance: If you live in your trailer or RV, this insurance, which is set up much like a homeowners insurance policy, can cover you.
Stationary travel trailer coverage: If you have a trailer that stays stationary, this insurance can cover the trailer and contents.

If you purchased your trailer with financing, your lender will likely require you to carry collision and comprehensive insurance in order to cover the value of the trailer in case of a total loss. Additionally, if you use your trailer for commercial uses, you will need to have liability insurance on the trailer to satisfy state requirements.
