How Much Does RV Insurance Cost in Missouri?

If you are a first-time recreational vehicle owner, you are probably wondering if RV insurance is expensive. The answer is: It depends.

RV insurance rates can vary between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars a year. Your customized RV insurance quotes will be based on several factors such as:

Coverage for smaller vehicles like camper vans and travel trailers is much less expensive than it is for large, luxury RVs like Class A motor homes.

You may be able to earn valuable discounts on your RV insurance coverage by bundling it with other policies like car insurance or homeowners insurance or by having a solid history as a safe driver.

Is RV Insurance Required in Missouri?

In Missouri, if your recreational vehicle is a non-motorized trailer, like a fifth-wheel or a travel trailer, coverage is not required by the state. Instead, your RV can be covered through a trailer insurance endorsement on the auto insurance policy of the vehicle that will be towing it.

However, if your RV is a self-propelled vehicle, like a motor home or a camper van, you are required by law to cover it with an RV insurance policy. In this case, your recreational vehicle will be held to the same minimum coverage requirements as your car or truck.

Additionally, though it is not required by law, physical damage coverage may be required by your lender if you are still paying for your recreational vehicle.

What Kinds of Coverage Can an RV Insurance Policy Provide in Missouri?

In Missouri, a minimum-coverage RV insurance policy will be one that meets the state’s minimum requirements but nothing more. In this state, all RV insurance policies must include:

In addition to the coverage that is required by law, if you are still making payments on your recreational vehicle, your policy will also have to include the following types of physical damage insurance:

A minimum-coverage policy is not always the best option. Though it will be less expensive, it can end up costing you more in the long run. RVs are larger and heavier than most vehicles on the road, so if you cause a collision, these policies are likely not to be sufficient to cover your liabilities. 

That is why most RVers in Missouri opt to purchase much more auto liability coverage than the state requires. To get even more coverage, you can supplement your RV insurance with an umbrella insurance policy.

Also, although a minimum-coverage policy provides coverage when you are using your RV as a vehicle, it does not offer any coverage when you are using it as a home. Frequent and full-time RVers may therefore want to include some of the many available coverage options in their policies, such as:

Be sure to review all coverage options offered by the insurance providers you are considering. Looking at what these options cover and how much they cost will help you make an informed decision about which offer a good value to you and your traveling companions.

What Is RV Gap Insurance in Missouri?

As long as your RV insurance includes physical damage coverage, you can be compensated for its value if it is totaled in a covered event.

If your RV is relatively new and you do not have gap insurance, your compensation may not be sufficient to pay off your RV loan, leaving you still making payments on a vehicle you no longer own.

RV gap insurance is designed to solve this problem by bridging the gap between what you still owe for your recreational vehicle and what it is currently worth.

This is often important coverage during the first couple of years of new RV ownership, because this is when the value of your RV is likely to depreciate faster than the principal on your loan decreases.

Once your loan catches up to your vehicle value, this insurance is no longer of any value, so most people only pay for it for a year or two.
