Coverage Options
Finding the right Massachusetts trailer insurance will depend on your needs. If you only use your trailer seasonally, basic liability insurance may suffice. On the other hand, if you use a trailer for business purposes, your insurance needs may be greater. An agent can help you identify potential risks and find the coverage to protect you. Here are a few policies that you may need:
- Liability coverage: Liability coverage protects you if you cause an accident that leaves third parties with bodily injuries or property damage. Check your personal or commercial vehicle policy before investing in a separate liability policy. Sometimes, trailers are covered by the insurance for the towing vehicle. However, it's a good idea to research what the specific limits and deductible would be in the case of an accident - it may be wise to purchase extra protection.
- Contents coverage: The importance of this policy depends on the items that are being towed. A basic policy will only insure your trailer, but will not protect the contents. This can be a pricey add-on option, but if you transport valuable material, it may be worth the added costs. An agent can help you determine an accurate coverage limit.
- Comprehensive coverage: If you travel, you will inevitably encounter bad weather at one point or another. Hail is one of the most damaging weather events, and a comprehensive plan will help cover repair costs. Additionally, it will also cover vandalism, property damage to your vehicle related to a collision, and theft.
