Do I need extra cover when towing other owners trailers?

Yes, if you need full comprehensive coverage on the trailer you will need to list the trailer on your policy. Some policies will include some default coverage up to a certain limit (usually $50,000 to 100,000) but this is usually for a liability aspect only.

Do I need more cover if I'm carting dangerous goods?

Generally speaking, you will need to take out dangerous goods liability coverage for protection. These limits can range so it's important you talk to us.

It's important to note though that some policies will have radius limits on them depending what you declared when setting up the policy. If you go outside of this radius limit there may be extra excesses applicable or issues in a claim.
