Mobile Home Insurance

Did you know that mobile homes are often at more risk than a typical home or apartment? Mobile home insurance is the best way to protect your home and possessions from these risks.

More risks involved with mobile homes than a house or apartment

You'd be forgiven for thinking a mobile home is less in need of insurance than a traditional house or apartment, but sadly that is not the case. For example, the construction style means it could be at more risk of serious damage from a fire or other natural disasters. Another difference is that a smaller home means there's more risk of the entire property—and all your possessions—being destroyed in such an incident, rather than the damage being restricted to part of the home.

Coverage designed specifically for your mobile home

The good news is that not only can you get specialty mobile home insurance, but it can often be specifically tailored to the model and design of your home. You can also usually get optional extras that cover risks such as damage while moving the home or from natural disasters that are more likely to damage mobile homes than a traditional house.

The difference in coverage for mobile and manufactured homes

Before taking out a policy, you will need to check the manufacturing date on the home. Most mobile homes built after June 15, 1976, are classified as “manufactured homes” rather than “mobile homes,” which could affect the type of policy insurers will offer. For example, if your mobile home is considered a manufactured home, you might need to insure it with a home insurance policy, which differs from the coverages offered in a policy designed specifically for mobile homes.
