Assurances Multi-Risques would like to inform you about the various RV insurance products available, whether it&#8217;s trailer insurance, motorhome insurance, or any other type of RV insurance. We are here to guide you, thanks to our extensive experience in RV insurance brokerage.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car insurance VS recreational vehicle insurance<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tout d\u2019abord, il ne faut pas confondre une assurance roulotte avec <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/particuliers\/vehicules\/auto\/\">votre assurance auto<\/a>. Cette derni\u00e8re ne couvrira pas l\u2019ensemble de vos biens accumul\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de votre v\u00e9hicule en cas de vol, de vandalisme ou encore d\u2019incendie.<\/p>\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why we strongly recommend that you contact an independent insurance broker who specializes in insurance for trailers, motorhomes, or fifth wheels. We often see people insuring their trailers with the same insurer that insures their personal vehicles. That insurer may not have the best insurance product for your needs or the expertise in recreational vehicles that an independent broker does.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RV liability insurance<\/h2>\n\n<p>All owners of motor vehicles or motor homes are required by Quebec&#8217;s Automobile Insurance Act to carry civil liability coverage of at least $50,000.<\/p>\n\n<p>What is civil liability coverage for? It protects you if you are held liable for property damage or bodily injury (to another person) in an accident occurring in Canada or the United States\u2014for which you would be held liable. <\/p>\n\n<p>Que vous rouliez au Qu\u00e9bec ou \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur de la province, AMR vous recommande d\u2019opter pour un montant de couverture de 2 M$. <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/a-propos\/avantages\/\">Un courtier en assurance sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9<\/a> en produits pour VR saura vous guider vers des options hautement personnalis\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional coverage for damage to the RV<\/h2>\n\n<p>Oui, ces garanties sont bel et bien optionnelles. Mais lorsqu\u2019il est question d\u2019assurance VR, il est fortement conseill\u00e9 de les consid\u00e9rer. C\u2019est ce qui fait souvent la diff\u00e9rence entre une r\u00e9clamation satisfaisante et une r\u00e9clamation compliqu\u00e9e. Voici quelques-uns des garanties optionnelles que nos experts en <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/particuliers\/vehicules\/vehicule-recreatif\/\">assurances VR<\/a> vous sugg\u00e8rent :<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All risks<\/h3>\n\n<p>Covers all damage to your RV, except for damage excluded in the contract (for example, rust is excluded).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks of collision and overturning<\/h3>\n\n<p>Covers damage to your RV in the event of a collision with a car and\/or in the event of a rollover, even if you are at fault.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All risks except collision or overturning<\/h3>\n\n<p>It covers damage caused by fire, theft, vandalism, and broken windows.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specific risks<\/h3>\n\n<p>It can be chosen as a replacement for &#8220;All risks except collision or overturning&#8221; coverage. It is a more affordable option, but also more limited. It covers damage resulting from fire and theft, but excludes vandalism and broken windows.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting &#8220;personal property&#8221; inside your RV<\/h2>\n\n<p>Check carefully whether your insurer includes, at no extra cost, comprehensive coverage in the event of theft or damage to personal property located inside the vehicle or on its parking space. With this protection, you will not need to file a home insurance claim in the event of damage to these items. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel expenses<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you are unable to use your vehicle for several days following a covered accident, this coverage pays for the additional costs incurred to continue your trip or return home. For example, it could cover certain accommodation or meal expenses. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insurance for roadside assistance costs<\/h2>\n\n<p>It covers roadside assistance costs, for example, in the event of running out of gas or a flat tire.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repatriation guarantee for trailers<\/h2>\n\n<p>If the vehicle towing your trailer is stolen or involved in an accident resulting in a total loss, this additional coverage will cover the costs incurred to return your trailer to your home.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New value insurance<\/h2>\n\n<p>&#8220;Compensation without depreciation&#8221; protection allows you to replace your equipment and accessories with new items in the event of damage. This protection does not take into account aging, i.e., depreciation. This rule also applies to your entire trailer.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few tips to lower your recreational vehicle insurance premium<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contactez <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/a-propos\/avantages\/\">un courtier d\u2019assurance sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9<\/a> pour les v\u00e9hicules r\u00e9cr\u00e9atifs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are a member of a recreational vehicle club, check with your insurer as you may be eligible for an additional discount on your insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your motorhome is valuable, have a tracking system (TAG) installed. This will reduce your motorhome insurance premium and, at the same time, you will have taken the necessary precautions to deal with theft. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final words<\/h3>\n\n<p>To make the most of your vacation and time outdoors, we strongly recommend that you contact an insurance broker who specializes in recreational vehicles.<\/p>\n\n<p>L\u2019assurance roulotte vous prot\u00e8ge lors de vos voyages et prot\u00e8ge votre v\u00e9hicule durant la saison morte.
