FAQs about utility trailer insurance
Review common questions about utility trailer insurance coverage.
Does commercial auto insurance cover my utility trailer?
For smaller trailers, your commercial auto insurance policy will cover damage caused by the towing vehicle and the trailer, including any injuries or property damage. It'll pay for legal fees if you're sued after a car accident.
However, car insurance won't cover physical damage to a trailer or its contents. You may need to contact your insurance company to add additional coverage to your policy.
Larger utility trailers must have their own separate insurance and registration, such as RV insurance for a fifth wheel camper. You might also need a mobile equipment endorsement, which covers construction and farming equipment driven on public roads. As with motor vehicles, state laws determine how much auto liability coverage you need for your trailer.
Do I need other insurance coverage for when my utility trailer is in transit?
Yes, you should make sure that items hauled in your cargo trailer or flatbed also have coverage. If they are damaged or stolen, your commercial auto policy may not provide protection.
Here are a couple policies you could also consider:
Inland marine insurance protects your business property wherever you take it, including while it's being transported in a trailer. Cargo insurance is a type of this coverage designed to protect shipments of goods from damage, theft, and other losses.
Comprehensive coverage extends your auto policy beyond collision coverage to include damage from other sources, such as falling branches, hail, and vandalism.
