Mobile Home Insurance

July 6, 2008

Lots of people who are not familiar with the world of mobile homes are surprised to find out that there is such a thing as mobile home insurance. Yes, just as there is insurance for regular homes, so is there insurance for those who dwell in a mobile home. If you are looking to purchase a mobile home insurance policy, you need to make sure of exactly what kind of policy you are getting before you agree to buy. It stands to reason that you are going to look for the best price on a policy you can find, as most people do. What is more important than the price is the coverage that you are getting for that price.

Cheap mobile home insurance is not always a bargain. This is perhaps better understood by those mobile home owners who, for example, weather a massive hailstorm in their mobile home. When they attempt to file a claim in order to get the damage repaired, they discover that hailstorms are only covered during a Leap Year. Now, obviously this is a hypothetical example, but imagine how disappointing it would be to have damage to your home and then find out that your insurance will not cover it! This is why you need to read over any mobile home policy very carefully so that you understand what it does and does not cover.

You definitely want mobile home insurance that will protect your personal property as well as the mobile home itself. The contents of your mobile home are valuable to you, and some people own things that have great monetary value like jewelry or various collectibles. You need to have these things insured in case of a break-in or a fire, or any damage that could harm your property as well as the mobile home that contains the property. Do realize that not all mobile home insurance will cover your personal property unless you buy additional coverage for the more expensive property that you own.

The best way to know how much mobile home insurance you need is to imagine that your mobile home and everything in it had been destroyed in a fire. How much money would it cost to replace everything, mobile home included? This is the coverage amount you should try to get when purchasing a policy.

When you have lined up a few companies that you think you might be interested in purchasing insurance, be sure you check out their business record with the Better Business Bureau, and try to ascertain how long they have been selling mobile home insurance. You want to make sure you are choosing a reputable company that is experienced in selling this type of insurance.
