Top Factors That Affect the Cost of Mobile Home Insurance

Understanding what goes into the cost of mobile home insurance is essential for owners. At Select Insurance, we know that finding affordable coverage is a priority for our clients. By learning about the main factors that influence your insurance premiums, you can make informed decisions and better manage your insurance expenses.

Location and Local Risks

Where your mobile home is located plays a significant role in determining your insurance costs. Homes in areas prone to severe weather—such as hurricanes, tornadoes or flooding—may see higher premiums due to increased risk.

Proximity to the coast or flood zones can also impact your rates. Our team can help you understand how your location affects your coverage options.

Age and Condition of Your Mobile Home

Insurance companies often consider the age and overall condition of your mobile home. Newer homes or those that have been well-maintained may qualify for lower premiums, while older homes or those with outdated plumbing and electrical systems could cost more to insure. Regular maintenance and updates can help keep your insurance costs manageable.

Coverage Choices and Deductibles

The amount and type of coverage you select will directly affect your premium. Broader policies that include coverage for personal belongings, liability and additional living expenses typically cost more than those that only cover physical damage to the residence. Additionally, choosing a higher deductible (the amount you pay out of pocket before insurance kicks in) can lower your premium, but it means more expense if you need to file a claim.

Security Features and Safety Measures

Installing safety features, such as smart smoke detectors, security systems or storm shutters, can help reduce your insurance costs. These measures lower the risk of damage or loss, making your home less expensive to insure. Our team can recommend steps to improve your home’s safety and potentially qualify for discounts.

Claims History

Your personal claims history is another important factor. If you have filed multiple claims in the past, insurers may view you as a higher risk, which can increase your premiums. Maintaining a clean claims record can help keep your insurance costs down.
