What does Static Caravan Insurance cover?

It is important to read the terms and conditions of your cover, but in general static caravan insurance will cover damage, loss due to fire, severe weather or crime. If you have opted to include contents cover then your personal possessions will also be covered. Important an upper limit most likely exists. This upper limit is the maximum amount that you can claim against your policy.

As you compare insurance policies,  you will find the cover offered is in general similar. However, other less obvious factors listed below are also important.

  • Damage repair : Should the need arise to have repairs made, how quickly and who will these be carried out by?
  • Limitations of contents : Check any limitations. For example,  GBP10,000  cover for contents looks good, but what is the limit on individual items, for example jewellery. If it is not adequate you can look at increasing your cover. The same idea applies to any gadgets on board, for example a 12v caravan smart TV.
  • Windscreen : Check that these are covered. If not try and get them included or take out a separate cover from a national windscreen repair specialist.

  • You could choose third party only static caravan insurance, obviously you will have less cover than a fully comprehensive option.
