Insurance: Protecting Your Investment
When transporting something as valuable as a tiny home, it’s essential to protect it with insurance. A Marine Cargo policy covers your home during transit and offers an affordable way to ensure you’re covered for any unforeseen issues.
Here are some typical insurance costs based on the value of your tiny home:
For a $150,000 home value: Approx. $760
For a $200,000 home value: Approx. $1,015
Adding this layer of security means you can focus on the excitement of your new location without worrying about what could go wrong during the move.
