Insurance when renting a trailer
When renting a trailer to transport your treasured belongings, don’t go unprotected!
Generally, your car insurance does not extend to a rented trailer or the items you are moving within it. It’s important to know how your specific coverage works, as most auto insurance policies will only protect passenger vehicles or a trailer that you actually own.
Without the proper coverage, you may be found responsible not only for any damages incurred to the trailer itself but also for any potential lost revenue during the repair process, and some places even require this reimbursement cost immediately upon the return of the trailer.
So don’t take any chances!
Some scratched paint or a dented fender may seem like trivial matters, but the costs can add up quick! Thankfully, rental facilities like U-Haul and Ryder do offer several comprehensive options for ensuring the rented trailer and its contents are properly covered during transport.
It would be wise to make use of these additional options the next time you make a trailer reservation.
