Caravan insurers offer great deals
Caravan insurers offer great deals, meaning those looking for caravan insurance can save on premiums and also get the right insurance for themselves. The type of caravan insurance you need will depend on what you plan to do with your caravan. If you are traveling in your caravan, you will need different caravan insurance features for someone whose caravan is static and perhaps rented out to tourists.
First, let’s take a look at the insurance features that caravan insurers offer to those who aim to travel and enjoy their caravan. One of the main features for someone looking to travel outside the UK on a policy is European cover. If you’ll be traveling many months of the year in Europe, check the fine print to find out if there’s a limit to the amount of time you can spend in Europe. Some providers will state so many days, while with others there may not be a limit. European cover should be considered essential, as if you were to break down in Europe and not have cover, all towing costs, repairs and any hotel accommodation would be out of your own pocket.
Most caravan insurance will pay for your hotel stay if your caravan is uninhabitable. However, the insurance company would typically list as many days or up to a certain number, so this is one of many things to check in the fine print of your coverage before you buy it.
If you have a static caravan and you rent it out, then you would need to look into insurance that would pay for lost rental income. If your caravan was damaged and had to be towed for a major repair, you could lose rental income for some time while the caravan is being repaired and this could add up to a considerable sum. If the insurance policy covered this, you would not have to bear this loss.
All caravan insurance must include protection for personal belongings and caravan accessories and accessories. If rented, this is essential, as tenants could damage or break items that would need repair or replacement. Otherwise, these costs would have to come out of your own pocket. If you live and travel in the camper, your personal belongings will need to be covered. Check the fine print offered by Caravan insurers as the limits on the amount you could claim or these can differ greatly. You would also need to check what exclusions were in the coverage, as certain items might not be covered by the standard policy. Also check to see if items such as steps, awnings, and gas bottles were covered by the policy. They usually are, but again there could be limits to how much you could claim for them.
