Road trailer cover
As a modeller, you may need a trailer to transport your collection to exhibitions, events, club meetings etc. Model Railway Insurance offers road trailer cover for anywhere in the UK and Europe.
Cover applies to trailers both when they are attached and detached. When the trailer is not in use and is unattached from the towing vehicle, it is mandatory that the trailer is fitted with either a wheel clamp or a hitchlock. If it is not and the trailer is stolen the £100 excess will be increased to £500.
Exclusions apply such as loss or damage to contents within the trailer. Cover includes the hire of an alternative trailer following theft or damage to the trailer insured, subject to a maximum amount of £20 per day (maximum 10 days). The need for an alternative trailer must be a stallholder / craftworker related activity.
