What are Michigan's RV insurance requirements?

Michigan requires RV insurance for motorhomes that includes property protection insurance, personal injury protection, and liability coverage. Your liability coverage must have limits of at least:

$50,000 in bodily injury coverage per person
$100,000 in total bodily injury per accident
$10,000 in property damage per accident

Since travel trailers are towed rather than driven, your auto policy's liability coverage will cover you for any damage or injuries you cause with your trailer. Having a separate travel trailer insurance policy is worth considering so you can protect your trailer from physical damage with comprehensive and collision coverage.

RV insurance doesn't have to break the bank. We offer RV liability insurance policies for as little as $125/year.^* Get an RV insurance quote online for your motorhome or travel trailer.

What coverages are available on a Michigan RV insurance policy?

Bodily injury and property damage liability coverage

Bodily injury and property damage liability coverage is included with RV insurance for motorhomes. It can pay for injuries or property damage you cause to others. Liability coverage can also cover your legal fees if someone files a lawsuit against you.

Comprehensive and collision coverage

Comprehensive and collision can pay for damage to your RV, regardless of who caused it. This type of coverage isn't required by the state, but if you financed your RV then your lender may require you to carry comprehensive and collision coverage until the loan is repaid.

Comprehensive coverage protects against damage caused by events outside your control, such as a collision with a wild animal or someone breaking into your RV. This coverage protects your RV even when it isn't in use or is stored for the winter.

Collision coverage pays for the repair or replacement of your RV if it's damaged in a crash, whether with another motorist or an object, such as a tree or a road sign.

What if I live in my RV full-time?

Many people live in their RVs full-time, which brings greater risks. Full-time RV insurance in Michigan carries the same coverages as recreational policies, but with a few key differences:

Personal liability: Typically, personal liability coverage only pays for injuries and damages caused while driving. A full-time RV policy extends this coverage to while the RV is parked.
Medical payments: If someone is injured in or around your RV, medical payments coverage can pay for their medical expenses.
Loss assessment: If you're charged a fee for repairs to a common area or other parts of where you park your RV, loss assessment coverage can help mitigate the cost.

How much is RV insurance in Michigan?

Like any insurance policy, Michigan RV insurance rates are influenced by many factors, including:

Type and model: New, luxurious motorhomes and trailers have higher replacement costs, which may lead to higher insurance rates.
Claims history: Your history of making insurance claims can affect your rates.
Experience: RVs are not the easiest vehicles to drive. Those with more experience driving an RV might have a lower rate than a new driver.
