Calculating your trailer fees
To calculate the cost of registering and insuring your trailer, follow the steps below:
- Determine the Class of your trailer (F, LV, T or TS).
For example, you have a tent trailer for camping, which is a Class T (private trailer). - Determine the trailer type (utility, transport, tent, semi trailer, etc.), if required.
For example, your tent trailer is a Class T (private trailer) and is considered a tent type trailer. - Find the applicable registration fee.
For example, your tent trailer is a Class T (private trailer) with a flat registration fee of $28. - Find the insurance premium in the tables provided (determined by trailer type, value, or both trailer type and value).
For example, if your tent trailer is a Class T (private trailer) and is valued at $7,500, your insurance premium would be $149. - If you are renting out your Class T trailer (U-Drive), add 30% to the insurance premium.
For example, if your insurance premium is $149, you would add $45 ($149 x .30 = $44.70). - Add your registration fee, insurance premium and U-Drive amount (if applicable) to get the cost of registering and insuring your trailer.
| Sample trailer fee calculation | |
| Registration fee | + $28 |
| Insurance premium | + $149 |
| U-Driver | + $45 |
| Total | = $165 |
Note: Trailers in Class F and Class LT are eligible for several different payment options. Please discuss these payment options with your SGI motor licence issuer.
- Value must always be rounded up to the next thousand. For example, if the value of your trailer is $12,500, it must be rounded up to $13,000.
