RV/Trailer Insurance FAQs
Most auto insurance policies cover trailers, but usually only for third party liability. In other words, you would be covered for any injury to another person or damage to their property. We suggest however, to add to your policy, as your policy would not pay out if your own trailer or RV was damaged in an accident that was your fault.
This really can depend, however as you start to think how much premiums for trailer insurance cost, also take into account the following data on the retail prices of some common types of trailers -
On average:
Utility trailers: $200 to $8,000. Snowmobile trailers: $500 to $100,000. Boat and personal watercraft trailers: $700 to $5,000.
Sometimes, your home and or car policies may provide some coverage, but it's always good to double check to find out directly from the where you are renting from or check with your Surex Advisor.
As we said before, coverage options are different in each province, but here is what a standard RV and motorhome insurance policy would cover:
- Third-party liability: This covers any third-party injuries, damages and deaths
- Accident benefits: This covers your medical and rehabilitation bills, funeral expenses and provides loss of income benefits.
- Direct compensation property damage (DCPD): This covers damages to your RV vehicle and any personal property that is inside.
Similar to the mandatory protection you would get with your auto insurance, the mandatory protection you should get with your RV/travel trailer or motor home are: third-party liability, direct compensation, accident benefits, and uninsured and unidentified automobile insurance coverage.

RV insurance coverage is comparable to having auto, home and travel insurance all rolled into one and since it is both a home and a vehicle, unfortunately, it is not covered under your home or auto insurance. You need proper RV insurance coverage to protect you during your travels.
You can get coverage for collisions, bodily injuries, liability, emergency expenses and much more. You can get coverage to protect your personal belongings and other things inside the RV (electronics, furniture and appliances) from theft or damages. And, if your RV is ever compromised where you need to stay in a hotel or arrange and pay for other transportation costs, this would be covered if you had the proper RV insurance. Talk to your dedicated insurance advisor to find out what you need to start your RV travel adventure!
