Insurance for Recreational Vehicle Rentals

Insurance for recreational vehicle rentals ensures that a fun vacation does not turn into a nightmare. For your clients who like to travel or those in the recreational vehicle rental business, this insurance is critical. Insurance for recreational vehicles covers damages, theft, vandalism, and public liability, depending on what coverage is in place.

Write More Business with Insurance for Recreational Vehicle Rentals

As an insurance producer looking to write more business, insurance for recreational vehicle rentals is certainly lucrative.

Recreational vehicle rentals fit the bill perfectly.

Of course, any kind of recreational vehicle can be expensive, whether it is a motorhome, ATV, jet ski, or another vehicle. Anyone who owns these recreational vehicles and is renting them out will want to protect that investment. And, because people use recreational vehicles for fun, they are at a higher risk of damage or other incidents that diminish their value.

In turn, you can add to your existing markets and better serve your customers. Finally, your customers will reap the benefits, with the insurance they need, when they need it.

Why Recreational Vehicle Insurance Matters

Companies renting out recreational vehicles need to insure their property. While those renting recreational vehicles usually have their own insurance, not everything is covered by an individual’s policy. Typically, if a motorhome has more than four wheels, for instance, regular auto insurance will not cover the rental.

This is even more apparent with recreational vehicles like ATVs, snowmobiles, and jet skis. The average consumer auto insurance does not cover these vehicles, given that they are not usually operated on roads. If a vehicle is stolen, damaged, vandalized or otherwise returned in worse condition than it left, insurance ensures that your clients are not going out of pocket to fix or replace it.

Public liability insurance is also critical. If someone operating a rented recreational vehicle causes bodily injury or property damage, the recreational vehicle rental company will not want to be held responsible. Insurance ensures that damages inflicted by a third party will not destroy the rental company’s finances or reputation.

Insurance can also help companies deal with the effects of malfunctioning equipment. In this case from California, a family rented a motorhome only to discover it had an air conditioning issue leaving the RV too hot. The renters paid for a fix and ultimately sued, winning a $5300 judgment.
