A home is a home, whether it's a traditional brick house built from the ground up or a mobile home that you chose and had customised to your needs. So, just because your home is a mobile home doesn't mean you shouldn't buy homeowner's insurance for it.
You can get a free quote for mobile home insurance online pretty quickly, thanks to the Internet. Just find a website that belongs to an insurance company that specialises in mobile home owner insurance or a website that gives you access to many different insurance companies that specialise in mobile home owner insurance. Any insurance company you choose to get a quote from for mobile home owner insurance needs to focus on that kind of insurance. There are sometimes parts of mobile home owner insurance policies that aren't in regular home owner insurance policies. Make sure the company you choose specialises in mobile home owner insurance before you sign anything.
Then you'll start putting in the needed information. When you look for a mobile home owner insurance quote online, you are usually asked for your contact information, the manufacturer of the mobile home and the year it was made, the size, the current lien holder, if there is one, how far the mobile home is from the coast, and how close it is to the nearest fire department.
Some websites that offer insurance quotes for mobile homes will give you a quote right away online, while others will send your information to an insurance agent who specialises in mobile home insurance. Before you agree to anything, make sure you talk to a real insurance agent and get detailed paperwork about your mobile home owner insurance quote and policy, if you decide to buy one. This is true no matter how you get your quote or which insurance company gives it to you.
