Check the old for new clause

In general most brokers will provide new for old, restriction on age will normally apply with campers over 10 years in general being excluded from the new for old cover. If your caravan is over 10 years old most brokers will compensate based on the current market value of your holiday home. 

If you feel that the market value does not reflect the cost to replace if for example you have made extensive improvements to the base model or it is in top condition please raise this with your broker broker as individual arrangements can normally be arrived at.

Choosing the best policy

As you trawl through the quotes for caravan insurance you will find that they will mostly provide the same type of cover. However other less obvious factors listed below are also important.

  • Damage repair : Damage repair : Should the need arise to have repairs made, how quickly and who will these be carried out?

  • Windshield and underside :  Check that these are covered if not try and get them included or take out a separate cover from a national windscreen repair specialist outfit. 

  • Limitations of contents : The overall figure may see good, but what is the cover for individual items types. For example cover for contents GBP10,000 looks good, but what is the limit on jewelry. This may be adequate but if you have jewelry worth more than the figure covered you should look into getting high value cover. The same idea applies to any gadgets on board.

Check Policy Details Carefully

Within this niche insurance sector you will find that overall brokers expect that the motorhome to be insured resides in a licensed camping site that provides adequate security with some form of surveillance and is in an area that is not prone to flooding.  In addition your insured camper home should be securely anchored, any other additional industry approved security items like GPS tracking whilst not mandatory should further help reduce your policy premium.

Policy exclusions that may invalidate any claim

  • If lack of basic maintenance leads to damage , your broker may well refuse to pay out. Examples would include rust,damp, wood rot
  • Wear and tear, like in most policies you can not claim for damage caused by wear and tear of aging
  • You failure to secure your vehicle, similar to leaving the keys in the ignition. The broker will right reject any claims that are a direct result of your negligence.

How can I lower my insurance premium

  • The more secure your caravan is seen to be then the more savings you could make on your premium. By fitting security devices such as smoke alarm, fitting an alarm on can act as a deterrent to thieves could help you make some savings and keep down the cost of the insurance. 
  • You could also increase your excess above minimum that the insurance company is requesting. Like any insurance, the excess is the amount of money you pay towards the cost of any claim before the insurance kicks off and your policy pays out to cover the claim.

  • You could chose to go for third party only cover, obviously you will have less cover than fully comprehensive option.
