Mobile homes are gaining popularity rapidly in the US and around the world, noticing the fact that they are offering more affordable living.
- Low-cost insurance for a single-wide mobile home goes from $250 to $700 per year;

Typical costs:
Depending on size, age, location, purchase price, level of liability coverage, and choice of deductible, the insurance for a single-wide mobile home usually costs around $250 and $700 per year.

A usual single-wide mobile home measures from 14′ to 18′ wide and are 60′ to 90′ long.
Often the least expensive to insure and the most common sized units, the double-wide mobile homes have an insurance cost of about $300 to $800 per year, depending also on size, age, location, purchase price, level of liability coverage, and choice of deductible. (For a $60,000 mobile home you will pay a $300-$400 insurance per year, while for a $100,000 mobile home you will pay a $500-$600 insurance per year.) A double-wide mobile home is two connected single-wide mobile homes.

(For a $100,000 mobile home you will pay a $550 insurance, while insurance for a $250,000 unit will cost you about $1,300 per year.) A triple-wide mobile home is created from three single-wide mobile homes.
What should be included:
A basic insurance package covers usually damage, theft, and legal liabilities, while more complex packages can include also flood insurance.
Additional costs:
Additional hazard insurances are paid separately and can cost another $50 to $120 annually, on a single-wide unit. For earthquake insurance, the price can fluctuate, depending on age, size, home location, and distance from major fault lines because the closer the home is to a potential earthquake activity area, the higher the price.
Another additional and mandatory insurance is flood insurance if you are in a deemed flood area, and depending on age, size, and home location it will cost you from $130 to $2,900 annually.
