RV Insurance Settlement Options
Total Loss Replacement:
This coverage provides for replacing the covered RV with an RV of a like kind and quality,
(year, make, model and equipment), as the one covered with no deduction for depreciation.
Oftentimes, RV specialty insurance is a less expensive option than adding your RV to your
existing auto policy.
Purchase Price Guarantee Or Agreed Value:
In the event of a total loss the Purchase Price Guarantee or Agreed Value settlement
endorsement will pay you the original amount or the appraised value of the RV.
Actual Cash Value:
All total losses will be settled by paying the depreciated value of the RV at the time of loss
less the deductible or the value displayed on the declarations page that was entered as the
rating basis for the RV. If you choose this settlement option your insurance agent should
decrease your rating basis at each renewal so you are not over paying your premium. This
definition applies to all the RV Insurance companies that we have contracts with.
What Factors Affect The Cost Of An RV Insurance Policy
One of the major factors that affect an RV Insurance quote is the age of the primary driver.
The lowest auto insurance rates are applied between the ages of 45 and 65 years of age.
Therefore, it is beneficial for husband and wife driving teams to both know how to operate
the RV. In doing so, the youngest driver can be listed as primary to obtain the lowest RV
Insurance rates available.
Deductible, Liability Limits and Glass Coverage
The main ingredients of a desirable RV policy include high deductibles, increased liability
limits, and a glass endorsement. Higher deductibles mean a lower premium, and increased
liability limits mean better protection of one’s net assets. Doing a financial inventory to
determine what you can comfortably afford to pay “out-of-pocket” if your rig sustains damage
and consequently needs repairs is recommended. When determining the comprehensive
deductible Vista Group considers whether a company offers an endorsement for glass. If they
do, then we match with the collision deductible. If not, we only lower the comprehensive
deductible to accommodate glass claims.
More About Mexico RV Insurance
When bringing your RV into Mexico you may want to consider changing your existing
insurance to a RV specialty insurance that includes a Mexico endorsement for physical
damage. The endorsement is generally a less expensive option when added to your RV and
in some cases your auto policy. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that RV
has better coverage for your road tripping lifestyle and is less expensive than the
insurance coverage you currently have. The average cost for a “stand-alone” Mexico
insurance policy runs about 1% of the value of the vehicle. In order to fully insure a $200,000
RV in Mexico, the cost will be about $2,000. If you choose this option, it is a good idea to
purchase a Mexico insurance policy with fixed deductibles and rated with AM Best.
