Boat Trailer Insurance from just £90!

Do you need separate trailer insurance for boats?

If you ever tow a trailer carrying a dinghy or a boat, you should take out insurance for your boat trailer.

Most comprehensive car and van insurance policies cover trailers, but usually only for third party liability. It means you would be covered for injury to another person or damage to their property, but not if your trailer was damaged in an accident that was your fault. You would also not be covered for theft or fire damage.

Sterling’s specialist boat trailer insurance can help solve these problems. The best deals are available over the phone.
