Getting insurance for your primary vehicle is common sense, but if you own recreational vehicles, it’s just as essential to make sure they’re covered.
As the name suggests, recreational vehicle insurance protects your recreational vehicle. This insurance covers losses incurred if the vehicle is in an accident, stolen or vandalized among other perils such as fire and flood.
This type of insurance does not cover your primary vehicle – it only covers hobby or “toy” vehicles like a boat or snowmobile.
If the vehicle can move from one point to another on its own, it should be insured.
Some examples of recreational vehicle insurance include:
Anybody who owns hobby or recreational vehicles should purchase recreational vehicle insurance. Off-road vehicle insurance is just as important as insurance for vehicles that drive on the streets.
The main coverage included in recreational vehicle insurance are comprehensive and collision, liability, and under/uninsured insurance.
Comprehensive insurance covers perils like fire, theft, vandalism, transportation, and other physical damages that are not collisions.
Collision insurance covers the physical damage caused by hitting a fixed object, a vehicle, or wild life. It also covers for if something falls on to the recreation vehicle. It is also important to note that it can cover for issues related to trying to load the unit on to a trailer.
Liability will pay the sums that you become legally obligated to pay as “compensatory damages” because of “bodily injury” or “property damage” to which the insurance applies.
Liability insurance is intended to cover damages that the recreational vehicle caused to someone or somebody’s property. The property insured ranges from the vehicle to anything else that your recreational vehicle may have ruined.
This is insurance for if another party involved in the accident is at fault and uninsured or does not have enough money to cover the cost to repair your damaged vehicle, or pay medical benefits owing to you.
If the recreational vehicle is involved in an accident and damaged beyond repair, insurance covers you for a new recreational vehicle. If the recreational vehicle was more than five years old, you receive the amount the vehicle was declared for on your policy minus the deductibles.
You can also opt not to replace the vehicle but instead get reimbursed for the original cost of the vehicle.
If the recreational vehicle is involved in an accident and damaged beyond repair, replacement insurance can cover you for either for the cost of for a new recreational vehicle, or the replacement with a similar make and model, all without depreciation being applied. Although premium costs for replacement cost are higher, it can be worth it in a total loss situation.
Other settlement options for recreational vehicles insurance are:
Often this coverage is only available on brand new recreational vehicles. So you need to act fast to get coverage added on. Coverage will normally only apply for a few years after that.
Repairs: If your recreational vehicle is in an accident and needs basic repairs, in most situations companies will provide coverage for these costs on a replacement basis, less your deductible. In certain situations, repairs may only be covered for a depreciated amount.

The year and model affect the value of your vehicle and the coverage options available to you. The newer your recreational vehicle, the more expensive your insurance will be as the replacement value will be higher.
Your insurer will assess the condition of your recreational vehicle to help determine its value when you are looking to purchase coverage.
It’s best to do all necessary repairs before the condition of the recreational vehicles is assessed to make sure that the value assessment is correct.
The value of your recreational vehicle is significant when deciding whether to insure it with a replacement value, actual cost value, or agreed value.
Generally, the higher the value of the vehicle, the more you will pay for insurance coverage.
If you have been involved in accidents or traffic violations before, the insurance company assumes that you are at a higher risk of being in an accident and you will pay more for coverage.

Yes. Recreational vehicles are covered if damages happen when the vehicle towing it is involved in an accident.
But the recreational vehicle may not be covered if it is detached from the towing vehicle at the time of the accident.
Coverage for when your vehicle is in storage is optional. This option is not included in the standard rate insurance that you purchase but can be added.

I went to this Knight Archer office to get a few important documents notarized. I was received by a staff at the counter and transferred my request to an official who dealt with my request. The notary who helped me with my documents provided me with the best service I've ever received thus far in Canada. She was very much courteous with the service and I just want to point out that Knight Archer staff does very well treating their customers. I appreciate it very much and encourage the management to continue doing the same.
