Do I need trailer insurance?

Although car trailer insurance isn’t a legal requirement, it is recommended that you take a policy out. This helps ensure that if something does happen to your trailer, you won’t have to pay for expensive repairs out of pocket.

What are the rules for towing a trailer?

If you are a new trailer owner, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the rules around trailer towing. We’ve highlighted a few of the laws to make you aware of the type of things you need to know:

  • Weight of trailer and its contents should be within vehicle’s towing capacity. If the trailer has brakes, this should not exceed 85% of the vehicle’s kerbweight, and if it doesn’t have brakes, the weight shouldn’t exceed 50% of its kerbweight
  • Maximum trailer width in the UK and EU is 2.55m
  • Indicators, lights and brakes (where fitted) must work and you must display the correct number plate for the towing vehicle on your trailer
  • The towing allowance will differ depending on when you passed your driving test (before or after 1st January 1997)
  • Speed limits while towing on UK roads are 60mph for motorways and dual carriageways and 50mph on single carriageway roads. You must not use the outside lane of a motorway
