How Roamly Is Fixing RV Insurance

Coach-Net is ecstatic to work with Roamly, who’s offering a new kind of RV insurance. You know, the kind that’s not a hassle and not so … insurance-y. They’ve spent years perfecting it. Making it simpler. Safer. Personalizing insurance around how you use your RV, including if you make money renting yours out.

Insurance for every kind of RV’er

Many RV insurance companies specialize in specific types of RVs. Some may only insure non-motorized travel trailers and toy haulers. Others just insure Class A, B, and C RVs —  and only for part-time RV’ers. Roamly insures all the above and more.

RV enthusiasts themselves, Roamly understands that RV’ers come from all walks of life and lifestyles. The Weekend Warrior. The full-timer. Retirees seeing the country. Some hit the road in a tricked-out Class A or C motorhome. Others haul jet skis on a toy hauler for a vacation on the lake. That’s why they’ve designed RV coverage to reflect every type of RV and RV owner out there.

How Roamly Insurance Works

How Roamly insurance works

Roamly uses market data and years of RV experience to weave together the most comprehensive plan you need without the expensive features you don’t. Their sleek quoting system asks you a few easy questions about the type of RV you own, how it is used, and how often. It then spits out a menu of options tailored to your RV, your RV lifestyle, and budget. Any extra protection is totally optional.

What Roamly insurance looks like

On a basic level, Roamly offers all of the standard coverages you will find in an RV insurer, including:

  • Liability coverage (required in most states)
  • Comprehensive
  • Collision
  • Underinsured/Uninsured motorist coverage
  • Medical Payments

But their personalized packages, designed for specific RV owners, is really where they start to break the mold.

Insurance for the Weekend Warrior

Insurance For The Weekend WarriorIf you only use your RV for weekend getaways at a campsite, there are two optional coverages that can really come to the rescue. For starters, there’s…

  • Contents coverage: Much like a home or renters policy, this protects personal items you bring with you on a trip. If a covered incident damages your possessions, Roamly can help reimburse you to repair or replace them.
  • No-deductible glass coverage: Most protections have a deductible. It’s what you pay out of pocket before coverage actually steps in. If your windshield is cracked, Roamly will cover you with no deductible needed.

Insurance for the Full-Timer

Insurance For The Full-TimerRoamly offers insurance that reflects what an RV really is: a home on wheels. And if you own your RV and live in it at least six months out of the year, you’re essentially assuming all the risks of a homeowner. As a full-timer, Roamly can guard you against risks while your motorhome is parked. Their streamlined package looks like this:

  • Vacation liability: Say a visitor in your RV trips coming down the steps of your RV and sues. Or a stray baseball shatters a neighbor’s window. If you’re held legally responsible, personal liability can help cover medical and legal costs or repairs.
  • Scheduled medical payments: It covers said guest’s medical bills injuries, regardless of whether or not you’re responsible.
  • Loss assessment: If you live in an RV community that has an HOA, this pays for fees for damaged common areas.
  • Personal property coverage: This helps pay for a repair or replace the stuff you keep in your motorhome. It even includes pet coverage in many states!
  • Adjacent structures coverage: Things like decks, porches, or carports would be financially protected.

Full-time RV insurance also includes all the standard coverages, so that you’re covered on and off the road.

Insurance for Entrepreneurs

Insurance For Entrepreneurs

What really separates Roamly from the bunch is, they’re the only digital RV insurance company that lets you rent out your RV on sites like Outdoorsy to make extra cash. You see, traditional RV insurance policies don’t cover you if you rent, but Roamly policies do.

Renting out your RV disqualifies you from most traditional insurance policies. It’s called a commercial exclusion clause. So if you rent while carrying an insurance policy that doesn’t allow it, your claims could be denied. Or worse, your insurer could drop your coverage. Here’s where Roamly really shines. Their policies were crafted to allow you to rent as much as you like. In fact, some owners even turn renting RVs into their full-time job.

Bundled savings

While the folks at Roamly specialize in motorhomes and travel trailers, they also offer home and auto insurance. Given that motorhomes encompass both, it makes logical sense. If you insure all three — or even just two — products with Roamly, you can save money with a Multi-Policy discount. Bundle RV and home insurance, home and auto insurance, or all of the above. What’s more, bundling insurance policies saves you time and hassle, because everything is all in one place.

Roamly the game-changer

Insurance — especially RV insurance — is seen as a necessary evil. It’s the last thing anyone thinks about when purchasing an RV. And rightfully so. The nosebleed rates of commercial policies. The uncertainty of getting the right coverage. Finding out you’re not covered for something when filing a claim. Not to mention, all the legalese and obscene jargon. It can take the fun right out of buying a motorhome.

As RV owners themselves, Roamly has set out to fix it. All of it. That means removing the rigmarole of getting the right policy, lowering rates by doing almost everything online, and educating customers on how their coverage works — in plain English. And, of course, it means lifting restrictions for those who want to make money by renting out their motorhome or trailer. Roamly has made the RV insurance they have always wanted. The RV insurance we all deserve. And we at Coach-Net couldn’t be more excited.


Lauren S. ~ “Roamly is 33% less than our previous RV policy with State Farm, with no risk of being dropped for renting it out. Most people I talked to reported similar savings. Plus, I got a multiple-vehicle discount rate for my car insurance :)”

RV Renting Tips For Newbies

RV Renting Tips For Newbies

Heading out on the open road to find new adventures is becoming the vacation choice for many this summer. The ease of RVing, along with the ability to have your own space no matter where you stop for the night, is only a few of the advantages the RV experience provides. Renting an RV is a new way to hit the open road without the year-round commitment of RV care and ownership.

When renting an RV there are a few things to keep in mind which can ensure an enjoyable trip for everyone involved. After all, recreational vehicles are built and drive differently than the one you drive to work every day. It’s important to take some time and make sure you understand how things work and how to handle an emergency should one arise on the road.

Know What You’re Renting

There are many different types of RV’s and it can get confusing as to know which is the right one to rent. Before going to the dealer, it is helpful to determine how much room you will need for everyone to be comfortable in the unit. The specification may say it will sleep six people, and while technically true, the amount of room allowed for all six to be in the unit moving around may not be adequate.

Know What You're Renting

It is also important to ensure you are comfortable with the size of RV you’ll be driving. Driving a large Class A RV or pulling a travel trailer requires a different approach to driving tasks, such as turning corners. Ask the person you are renting from (or RV rental company) if you can test drive the unit around their facilities a little to ensure you are comfortable with the way it handles before signing the agreement and heading out on the open road. This is also a great time to ask questions about how the different functions of the RV work, such as the gray water holding tank and dumping sewage.

Protect You and the RV with Insurance

When renting a car, most people have a temporary rider placed on their personal insurance policy to protect them in the case of an accident. The same rule holds true for driving an RV. It may be a house on wheels, but it is still a vehicle and needs to be treated as such.

Get Quality Rental Insurance

There are different options to choose from for insurance. The first, of course, is checking with your private insurance and asking if a rider can be added to your personal policy during the time of your vacation. The second option for insurance is to purchase a coverage policy from the company you are renting the RV from. There are usually a variety of coverage options and levels to choose from. Beyond the required liability and collision coverage, it is important to include Act of God coverage in the policy you purchase. This type of coverage protects you in the event of a weather-related event that may damage the RV.  Hail storms, tornados, and other hostile weather events can occur without warning during the RVing season; it’s important to safeguard yourself from expensive repairs.

Plan for the Worst, Hope for the Best

Nobody likes to think about what could go wrong on a trip, but failure to do so will only compound the event. Road hazards happen, and flat tires or mechanical problems can take the joy out of an RVing vacation in a hurry. However, planning what you will do in these situations helps to keep them in perspective. A good roadside assistance plan can provide peace of mind on a cross country trip with help only a phone call away.

When selecting a roadside assistance program make sure they cover calls in the area where you’ll be traveling and make sure you understand how the program works. For example, will you be expected to pay the service providers upfront with the service reimbursing you, or will they take care of all fees directly with the service provider? Roadside assistance programs that pay service companies directly are more convenient because then you don’t have to have extra money with for potential emergency situations.

Renting an RV is a great way to travel across the country for less money than flying. This type of travel also allows for sight-seeing along the way. The ability to cook your own food, have your own space, and never worrying about room availability are only a few of the advantages to this type of travel. A little time spent planning for the unexpected can ensure an RV rental vacation is a relaxing way to travel.


RV ProtectAww Shucks!

How To Earn Money Renting Your RV On Outdoorsy

Earning Money With Outdoorsy

If you’ve spent any time traveling, you know how difficult it can be to find the perfect vehicle for your adventure.

Outdoorsy, a peer-to-peer marketplace that connects RV renters with RV owners, takes all of the pain away from both sides of the equation. (Think of them like the Airbnb of RVs.)

Got an RV, campervan, or travel trailer that’s not getting much use? Want to share your love for the open road with other like-minded adventurers? Here’s why (and how) you should list your rig on Outdoorsy.

What to consider as an RV owner

We know, we know. That rig is your baby. You spend so much time washing, waxing, and tweaking onboard systems—all in an effort to keep everything in tip-top shape. The thing is though, it hasn’t left your driveway more than once this year.

What if your adventure vehicle could work for you? What if you could make enough passive income from renting your RV that you could quit your day job, pay for your son or daughter’s college education, or fund your retirement?

Counting Money

Here are some stats to consider:

  • 30 percent of RV owners are upside down on their payments. By listing on Outdoorsy, you can turn that into cash flowing into your wallet instead of out of it. If you only rent out your rig once or twice a year, you could offset the cost of owning your RV. Sounds pretty good, right?
  • Nearly 10.5 million RVs in the U.S. will go unused for 11 months of the year. Pair that figure with 45.6 million campers looking for their next adventure, and you can see there is an incredible amount of potential to rent out your RV to just the right folks—people, just like yourself, who want to do some traveling.
  • Earn up to $86K or more annually by listing your RV on Outdoorsy. (Use this handy calculator to see how much you could make). The demand is there, and many renters are interested in doing more than just one trip throughout the year. Weekend camping at the nearby state park, road trips along scenic highways, and week-long—or longer—trips on the open road. They are all here, on Outdoorsy, looking for the perfect adventure travel companion.

Right from the Owner Dashboard, you, the owner, are in total control of your rig’s availability, nightly pricing, and who you want to rent your RV to. You can read reviews, set renter requirements, and chat with potential guests ahead of time. When you’re comfortable, lock it in and start figuring out what you’re going to do with that extra cash.

Let’s recap:

5 reasons to list your RV with Outdoorsy

  1. You can make extra income. If you are like most RV owners, your RV only gets used for one or two weeks out of the year. So why not put it to work for you by renting it out the other 50 weeks of the year?
  2. You’ll build your own business. Renting out your RV through Outdoorsy will assist you in building a side business, creating passive income to subsidize your other dreams—be that taking a destination vacation or putting a down payment on a house.
  3. You’ll introduce new campers to the benefits of RVing. As an owner, you’ll walk renters through your rig, and in doing so, you have the opportunity to pass on your love of camping and road trips to new prospects. Give them a list of your favorite RV resorts or boondocking spots. Tell them where the best fishing holes are, and let them hear about your past family vacations.
  4. You’ll keep your RV systems healthy with more consistent use. Let’s face it, if your RV sits for any extended length of time, its components begin to deteriorate. Tires rot in the sun, batteries drain, electrical systems short out. Keep your motorhome or trailer active and healthy. More consistent use through renting gives it a renewed sense of life.
  5. Outdoorsy will take care of the details. List your RV for rent and let Outdoorsy handle the rest. Outdoorsy does extensive driver checks on all renters, they carry a $1 million insurance coverage policy, have 24/7 renters roadside assistance, and they handle all payment processing.

Tire DiscountsAww Shucks!
