Trampoline Park Insurance Cost: 2026 Pricing Guide for Owners

April 21, 2026

What Trampoline Parks Actually Pay for Insurance in 2026

Trampoline park insurance is one of the most expensive commercial insurance placements in the country, and 2026 is no exception. A typical single-location indoor trampoline park in the U.S. pays between $20,000 and $100,000+ per year for a full commercial insurance program — general liability, participant liability, property, workers compensation, and the specialty coverages that go with adventure entertainment. Larger family entertainment centers with multiple activity zones, foam pits, ninja courses, and dodgeball arenas can push above $150,000 annually.

Carriers don't rate trampoline parks on revenue alone. They rate on jumper-hours — the product of attendance and average session length — because that measure correlates directly with injury frequency. A park doing 120,000 jumper-hours per year will always pay more than one doing 40,000, even if their revenue numbers are similar. Jumper-hour reporting is also how carriers audit you at year-end, so the number you estimate at binding matters.

The other cost reality: trampoline park insurance has consolidated into a short list of specialty carriers. When one of them pulls out of the class (it has happened repeatedly over the past decade), pricing spikes hard. Park owners who build relationships with knowledgeable brokers weather those market shifts better than owners shopping spot quotes.

Five Coverage Types Every Trampoline Park Needs

A complete trampoline park insurance program includes five coverage pieces. Missing any one of them can leave a park operating uncovered for the most expensive claim types this industry faces.

  • General liability (GL). Responds to third-party claims from non-jumping visitors — a spectator slipping on the way to the bathroom, a parent tripping in the party room. Limits typically $1M/$2M, often increased to $2M/$4M or higher.
  • Participant legal liability (PL). This is the one most operators misunderstand — see the next section. PL responds to claims from jumpers injured while participating in park activities. GL typically excludes participant injuries entirely.
  • Commercial property. Covers the trampolines, foam pits, padding, walls, HVAC, scoring systems, and the building if owned. Trampoline mat replacement alone can run $50K+ for a mid-size park; property coverage makes that affordable.
  • Workers compensation. Required under Utah Code §34A-2-103 for any park with one or more employees. Class codes for recreation attendants (class 9093) run higher than retail or office, and claim frequency tends to be moderate (sprains, strains, falls on equipment).
  • Abuse and molestation coverage. Often a separate policy or sub-limited endorsement. Any business hosting children needs it, especially with birthday parties, camps, and lock-ins. Most GL policies exclude abuse/molestation claims entirely.

Depending on the park, you may also need cyber liability (for payment and customer data), liquor liability (if the park serves alcohol at adult nights), employment practices liability, and commercial auto if you operate shuttle vehicles. Bundle coverage through a single broker who understands the class to avoid gaps.

What Drives Your Rate Up or Down

Carrier rates for trampoline parks vary widely based on a short list of underwriting factors. The biggest levers:

  • Attendance and jumper-hours. The primary rating basis. Higher attendance = higher premium, but rate per jumper-hour often drops at scale.
  • Activity mix. Dodgeball, foam pits, ninja courses, slam dunk lanes, and trapeze each have different loss profiles. Adding a climbing wall or zip line can move you into a different underwriting class entirely.
  • Waiver enforcement. Carriers want to see that every single jumper (and parent/guardian for minors) signs a waiver before entering the jump zone. Digital signature systems with audit trails are favored. A sloppy waiver process can double your premium or disqualify you from the best carriers.
  • Claims history. Three-year loss runs drive pricing. A single large head/spine injury claim can make renewal difficult for multiple years.
  • Staff training and supervisor ratios. Carriers look at your court monitor ratios (typically 1:30 jumpers minimum), staff training program, and whether you follow ASTM F2970 safety standards.
  • Facility age and maintenance. Newer installations with current mat and padding inspection logs underwrite better than older parks with limited documentation.

The Participant Liability Gap That Sinks Parks

If there's one coverage lesson every trampoline park owner needs to internalize, it's this: general liability does not cover the jumpers on your trampolines. GL responds to "third-party" claims — people who are not participants. Jumpers are participants by definition, and standard ISO GL forms exclude bodily injury to anyone participating in a covered activity on your premises.

This is what participant legal liability (PL) is for. PL is either a standalone policy or a specific endorsement on a specialty GL form. It fills the gap that standard GL leaves open, responding to claims from jumpers who are injured while participating in park activities — whether on a trampoline, in a foam pit, on a ninja course, or playing dodgeball.

The pricing difference is huge. A $2M/$4M GL-only policy for a mid-size park might run $18K-$25K/year. Add a $2M PL limit and you can easily double that. But without PL, a single jumper neck injury claim can end the business. Insurance fraud stats from the industry suggest 60-80% of all trampoline park claims come from participants, not spectators — so skipping PL to save premium is effectively going bare on most of your loss exposure.

When shopping, always confirm whether a quote includes participant liability, what the limits are, and how the policy defines "participant" vs "spectator." Some policies exclude claims from participants but cover bystanders in the jump zone; others do the opposite. Read the exclusions page carefully. If you want a short primer before diving in, our guide to specialized adventure park coverage basics walks through the structure common to the whole class.

Why Standard Carriers Won't Write Trampoline Parks

If you've tried to get a trampoline park quote from a standard commercial carrier — Hartford, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, your regional BOP writer — you already know what happens. Most decline at the class code level. Class is simply blacklisted.

The reasons are practical: severity risk is high (spine, head, and limb injuries), frequency is high (millions of jumper-hours per year industry-wide), and adverse selection is a persistent problem (the parks that aggressively shop insurance are often the ones carriers want least). Standard markets concluded years ago that the return on premium doesn't justify the volatility.

The markets that do write trampoline parks are specialty E&S (excess and surplus lines) carriers and Lloyd's syndicates — Great American Specialty, Markel, Philadelphia Insurance, K&K Insurance, Old Republic, select Lloyd's programs, and a handful of MGAs who aggregate these risks. These carriers use specialty application forms, require extensive underwriting documentation, and often demand in-person or virtual inspections before binding.

Because the market is narrow, broker access matters. An independent broker with specialty market relationships can often place a park that a generalist agent cannot. When shopping, ask which markets your broker has direct access to — not just which markets they've seen in trade publications. We build our trampoline park placements from the specialty markets up, not the standard markets down. More on that in our core trampoline park insurance page.

How The Insurance Center Places Trampoline Park Coverage

Trampoline park and adventure park insurance is one of our specialty lines. We've placed policies for parks across multiple states and understand the underwriting language carriers want to see — from waiver audits to court monitor ratios to ASTM compliance documentation. A complete submission from us typically includes three years of loss runs, attendance and jumper-hour history, current staff training documentation, sample waiver, floor plans showing activity zones, and a site-specific loss control narrative.

If you're operating a trampoline park in Utah or elsewhere and current insurance costs are eating your margin — or you've just been non-renewed and need a market fast — we can help. Most parks benefit from bundling their participant liability, GL, property, and abuse coverage through the same specialty carrier for premium credits and consistent claims handling. If you're also building out a facility, review contractor requirements for indoor build-outs and the general liability baseline for operators while you're planning.

The Insurance Center has been an independent agency since 1995. We have direct specialty-market access and a deep bench on adventure park risks. Request a trampoline park insurance quote from The Insurance Center — an independent agency that understands what this class actually requires.

Utah RV Insurance Cost: $878 a Year for a Motorhome, $378 for a Travel Trailer

By Shawn Iverson • October 13, 2026
The average Utah motorhome policy costs $878.32 a year, and a travel trailer policy averages $377.56, according to Progressive's 2024 figures for 12-month Utah policies. That's about $73 a month for a motorhome and $31 a month for a trailer. If you're keeping a rig in a Heber Valley driveway or hauling a trailer up to Bear Lake every July, those averages are a starting point, not a quote. Roamly puts Utah motorhome coverage anywhere from $700 to $3,500 a year, and a travel trailer can run $200 or $1,000 depending on how it's insured. The short answer: what you drive, what it's worth, and which coverages you pick set the price. Here's how the numbers break down, what Utah law requires, and where owners get caught assuming they're covered when they aren't. What Does RV Insurance Cost in Utah? Utah RV owners pay between $200 and $3,500 a year, and the gap comes down mostly to motorhome versus towable. Here are the figures from the sources we checked: Utah motorhome average: $878.32 a year (Progressive, 2024 Utah 12-month policies) Utah travel trailer average: $377.56 a year (Progressive, 2024 Utah 12-month policies) Utah motorhome range: $700 to $3,500 a year (Roamly) Utah travel trailer range: $200 to $1,000 a year (Roamly) Liability-only motorhome policies: starting at $125 a year (Progressive) National range by class: Class A $600 to $2,500, Class B $480 to $1,000, Class C $540 to $1,500, towables $200 to $600 (HomeGuide) The class ranges come from HomeGuide's cost database, so use them to see how RV class changes the price, not as a Utah quote. One thing worth knowing about the Utah averages: Progressive's numbers reflect what Progressive charges its own Utah customers. They're real and they make a good anchor, but they aren't a market-wide survey. Roamly's $700 to $3,500 motorhome range shows how wide the spread gets once other carriers and other rigs enter the picture. That spread is the reason to compare quotes instead of accepting the first one. Is RV Insurance Required in Utah? Yes for motorhomes. Utah requires liability coverage on a motorized RV, and the minimums are $30,000 for injury to one person, $65,000 for injury to two or more people, and $25,000 for property damage in any one accident. Those limits come from Utah Code 31A-22-304 and apply to policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025. That's up from the old 25/65/15 limits. Some RV insurance pages still list the old numbers, which applied to policies issued or renewed through December 31, 2024. State Farm's summary of the law says it covers private passenger autos, commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles. Ask your agent to confirm the limits on your current policy, especially if it renewed before 2025. Utah also lists personal injury protection as required, according to Progressive, and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can only be turned down by signing a rejection form. Travel trailers work differently. Liability on a towed trailer comes from the auto policy on the vehicle pulling it, and that coverage doesn't protect the trailer itself. If you financed the RV, your lender will usually require comprehensive and collision coverage too, according to HomeGuide. The Utah Insurance Department adds a reminder worth taking seriously: mandatory minimum coverage does not necessarily mean you have adequate coverage. Does Your Car or Homeowners Policy Cover Your Travel Trailer? Not reliably. The Utah Insurance Department says some auto or homeowners policies provide minimal coverage for a trailer, and it tells owners not to assume that coverage exists or that it's adequate. That one sentence hides the usual surprise. A trailer parked at a campsite, stored for the winter, or borrowed for a weekend may fall outside what your auto or homeowners policy was written to handle. Two questions settle it. Does your current policy pay to repair or replace the trailer itself? And what does it pay for the camping gear and contents inside? If either answer is "I'm not sure," that's the call to make before the first trip, not after the first claim. The same department says to read any rental contract before you sign it if you rent or borrow a trailer, and to confirm what coverage comes with it. What Moves a Utah RV Premium Up or Down? Five things do most of the work: the type and value of the RV, how the policy pays out, your deductible, how you use the rig, and your driving record. That list comes from HomeGuide's breakdown of RV rate factors, and it matches what we see when we quote. Type and value come first. A Class B camper van runs $480 to $1,000 a year nationally and a Class A motorhome runs $600 to $2,500, because the replacement cost and repair bills sit in different tiers. Newer, higher-value rigs raise premiums, and older ones can too because of mechanical risk. Payout structure matters more than most owners expect. Policies that pay depreciated value cost less than replacement-cost policies, and agreed-value policies are a third option. The cheaper premium means a smaller check after a total loss, so compare how each policy pays before you compare price. Deductible and use are the two levers you control. A higher deductible lowers the premium, and frequent long trips can raise it. A clean driving record, experience operating an RV and a low claims history all pull the rate down. Utah owners have one more variable: how the rig lives through winter, and whether anyone lives in it. Full-time and seasonal use change the policy itself, not just the price. Our Utah RV insurance guide for full-timers and seasonal owners covers that side in detail. How Can You Lower Your Utah RV Insurance Cost? The fastest ways to lower an RV premium are a higher deductible, a cleaner record and quotes from more than one carrier. Each one has a trade-off, so here's how they actually play out. Raise the deductible. HomeGuide lists this as a direct premium reducer, but the higher number comes out of your pocket on every claim, so pick one you could pay tomorrow without stress. Choose depreciated value only if you'd accept the payout. It prices lower than replacement cost, and it also pays out lower after a total loss. Protect your driving record. A clean record, experience operating an RV and a low claims history all lower rates. Consider liability-only on an older, paid-off motorhome. Progressive's liability-only policies start at $125 a year, which may fit a rig that isn't worth insuring for damage, as long as no lender requires more. Compare at least three quotes. The Utah ranges above show how far apart carriers and rigs can land. Skip the one move that looks like savings and isn't: cutting liability to the bare minimum on a large motorhome. The state minimum pays the other driver's costs up to $30,000 per person, and a serious accident can run past that fast. Ask your agent what limits fit your assets, not just the legal floor. Why Quote an RV Through an Independent Agent? An independent agent can price your RV with multiple carriers in one conversation, so you see more than one number. That's the whole advantage. Carriers like Progressive and Roamly publish useful rate data and are worth a look. But a quote from one company is one price from one underwriting model, and the Utah ranges above show how far apart those models can land. At The Insurance Center, we shop your RV across carriers, line it up against your auto and home coverage, and flag the gaps before they turn into a denied claim. Our RV insurance page explains how that works, and we write coverage for RV owners across Northern Utah, including Heber City and Park City . Frequently Asked Questions How much does RV insurance cost per month in Utah? A Utah motorhome averages about $73 a month ($878.32 a year) and a travel trailer averages about $31 a month ($377.56 a year), according to Progressive's 2024 figures for 12-month Utah policies. Your rate depends on the RV's class and value, your deductible and how you use it. Is RV insurance required in Utah? Yes for motorhomes. Utah requires liability coverage of at least $30,000 per person and $65,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage, on policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025 (Utah Code 31A-22-304). A towed travel trailer relies on the liability coverage of the vehicle pulling it. Does my car insurance cover my travel trailer in Utah? Not reliably. The Utah Insurance Department says some auto or homeowners policies provide minimal coverage for a trailer and warns owners not to assume it is adequate. Ask your agent whether your policy pays for damage to the trailer itself and for the contents inside. Is it cheaper to insure a travel trailer than a motorhome? Yes. Progressive's 2024 Utah averages put a travel trailer at $377.56 a year against $878.32 for a motorhome, so the trailer costs less than half as much. Roamly's Utah ranges show the same pattern: $200 to $1,000 for trailers and $700 to $3,500 for motorhomes. Can I buy liability-only RV insurance in Utah? Yes. Progressive says liability-only motorhome policies start at $125 a year. That meets the legal requirement but pays nothing toward damage to your own RV, and a lender will usually require comprehensive and collision coverage on a financed rig. The Bottom Line A Utah RV policy averages $878.32 a year for a motorhome and $377.56 for a travel trailer, but published ranges run from $200 to $3,500. The number that matters is yours. It depends on what you own, how the policy pays out, and whether your auto and home policies already do part of the job. Get those three things straight and the rest is just comparing quotes.
