Do you find yourself regularly in need of a utility trailer? Renting a trailer can be a good option for occasional use, but there comes a time when you should consider if it would be more cost effective to just buy your own. At Hitch King, we provide a large selection of trailers for sale in the New York City area, and we can even hitch it up for you! Read on to learn if buying a trailer is a smart investment for you.
Low Maintenance and Upkeep
When it comes to bigger purchases, it’s important to weigh the cost of the item with the maintenance. If you are used to renting trailers, you know that you are not responsible for any maintenance or upkeep, so you don’t have to worry about that added expense. However, when you buy a trailer, the maintenance is actually very easy and inexpensive! All that is really required is that you check the tires’ tread and air pressure, grease the wheel bearings, and make sure the lights are working properly.
No Added Insurance Cost
Another reason you may be hesitant to own a trailer is because you don’t want to add something else to your insurance policy. However, in most cases, you won’t need additional insurance on your trailer. Generally, auto insurance policies will cover the trailer when it’s being towed by a vehicle that is already insured. Unless you plan to use your trailer commercially, there should be no added cost to insure it.
Variety
Finally, when you set out to purchase a trailer, you’ll find numerous brands, models, and sizes to choose from. Whether you need an enclosed trailer, a gooseneck trailer, or a regular utility trailer, the options are almost limitless! You can find the right type and size that will fit your needs, and get to hauling right away!
