Mobile Home Insurance Quebec 2026: Complete Coverage for Trailers and Tiny Homes
Trailer, tiny house, prefabricated, modular: specialized insurance, not the standard home policy. Here’s everything you need to know in 2026.
Mobile Home vs. Standard Home: Why the Policy Is Different
A mobile home (prefabricated residential, mini-house, permanently installed trailer) has characteristics that distinguish it from a conventional home: often non-permanent foundation, less robust sheet metal/vinyl/wood structure, possible location on rented land (park) with specific rules. Standard insurers often refuse this type of risk or charge a lot of money. Quebec specialized insurers (Desjardins, SSQ, Promutuel) have adapted products: structure, property, civil liability coverage, with options specific to the residential stock.
IN BRIEF
Mobile Home Insurance
Mobile homes (prefabricated, on foundations, in parks) have specific policies that are distinct from traditional housing. Less coverage because of the higher fire risk (lightweight materials).
Markets: Few insurers offer this product in Quebec. A broker from our partner firms has access to specialized programs (Cumis, Promutuel mobile). Typical premium: $800-1,500/year.
Mobile structure
Covers the house itself: fire, wind, hail, vandalism. Replacement value at replacement or current value depending on age and condition.
Personal property
Furniture, electronics, appliances. Typical limit 50-80% of the value of the structure. Expandable as needed.
Civil liability
$1 million to $2 million to protect in the event of injury to your home or unintentional damage to a third party. Essential.
How to do it in 2026
Identify your mobile home type
Single-large, double-large, CSA Z240 certified tiny house, converted trailer. The type affects the premium and availability of insurers.
Check the rules of the park
If you rent the site, the park owner often has minimum requirements ($2 million RC, proof of insurance). Ask for the list.
Evaluate your structure
Current replacement value (not the purchase price). A professional can assess whether you have renovated. Very different from a conventional house.
Specialized broker quote
Few direct insurers offer this product. An Assur360 broker has access to several specialized companies. Compare before you sign.
⚠️ Permanent foundation = different font
If your mobile home is installed on a permanent foundation (concrete slab, basement) and declared as a permanent residence to the municipality, some insurers treat it as a standard home. This can reduce your premium. Always state the exact situation.

Subtypes and Price Ranges — Mobile Home
Insurance Particulars — Mobile Home
The mobile home is no longer really an RV: it is treated by most insurers as a full-fledged home. Typical premium: $540 to $1,400/year depending on value, housing stock and options. See our Mobile Home Insurance page for details. Tiny houses remain in a grey area — some insurers cover them as an RV, others as a mobile home.
Mobile home compared to other types of RVs
Mobile home vs. stationary trailer: the mobile home is designed as a permanent residence, on foundations/blocks, connected to services. The stationary trailer remains an RV (mobility possible), even if left on a site all season. Different policies and premiums.
Insurance tips — mobile home
- → For a mobile home in a residential park, check the park manager’s insurance requirements (often mandatory $2 million RCA).
- → If you have added an extension cord, porch or shed: declare each addition with value.
- → RV-certified tiny homes on wheels must have a VIN/plate — check the legal status before applying.
- → Combine mobile home + car with the same insurer for savings of 10-20%.
