How Can Hawaii Residents Benefit from Trailer Insurance?

If you own a trailer, you have increased liability risks any time you drive with it in tow. If you misjudge a turn, you might damage property, or if you clip another vehicle while changing lanes, you might cause bodily injury to the occupants of the vehicle. And if your trailer should happen to detach from your vehicle while you are driving, you might find yourself facing all kinds of liability lawsuits.

You probably already have a measure of coverage through your auto insurance policy or carry trailer coverage as part of another type of insurance such as ATV insurance or boat insurance. Otherwise, if you want to safeguard your finances and your investment, you will need to purchase a trailer insurance policy.

What Kinds of Trailers Are Covered?

Trailer insurance policies are available for all types of trailers, including the following:

Horse and livestock trailers
Utility trailers
Cargo trailers
Travel trailers
Boat trailers
Auto hauler trailers

Whether you use your trailer for personal or commercial purposes, there is a policy for you.

What Coverage Does Trailer Insurance Provide?

Whether your trailer insurance is part of your auto, boat, business or other insurance policy or it is a standalone policy, it will normally include the following coverage options:

Liability insurance: This can provide the coverage necessary to compensate third parties for injuries or property damage if you are liable for an accident involving your trailer. It can also cover associated court costs and legal fees.
Collision insurance: This can cover the cost to repair or replace your trailer if it sustains damage in a collision, regardless of fault. Those with very expensive trailers can most benefit from this coverage.
Comprehensive insurance: This can cover the cost of repairing or replacing your trailer after it sustains damage in a non-collision event such as a fire, flood, falling object, vandalism or theft. Those with very expensive trailers can most benefit from this coverage.
Contents insurance: This can cover the cost of repairing or replacing the items you are transporting with your trailer if they sustain damage in a collision, regardless of fault. When you are carrying horses or livestock, a specialized form of this coverage can compensate you if an incident results in their injury or death while they are traveling in the trailer.
Roadside assistance: This can cover the cost of necessary specialized towing or assistance if your trailer becomes inoperable while it is out on the road.

How Much Will a Trailer Insurance Policy Cost?

If you have a small utility trailer that you only use on occasion, your auto insurance policy may already provide you with sufficient coverage, although you might need to add a trailer endorsement for a nominal fee. Trailers used for commercial purposes and expensive trailers, such as campers and livestock carriers, will need specialized trailer insurance if you want them to be fully covered.

The cost of trailer insurance will vary depending on several factors, including the following:

The type of trailer you need to insure
Your trailer’s weight and size, including length and width
Your trailer’s make, model, year and purchase price
The coverage options you wish to purchase, as well as the coverage amounts
Where and how you store your trailer when not in use
Whether your trailer is used for personal or commercial purposes, or both

To discover how much a policy will cost you, you will need to obtain insurance quotes. It is a good idea to request at least three quotes from different providers so that you can be certain that you're getting a policy at a reasonable rate.
