on some policy's new for old is up to 15 years old
I looked on it if something happened whether on site or on road, it was fully covered for everything, we humans would be covered as well for hotel, not sure about the boys..
obviously we drive carefully..
its belt and braces when far from home, say if the neighbours unit caught fire and it spread past 6 metres, remember the top gear caravan chip cooking drama, if anything this highlighted the need for some insurance...
thanks for sharing your facts and figures, lots to work out and places to ring..

If you don't ask you don't get. As the saying goes

Hi, We are with Cover4Caravans (same as Aaron). We had a requote from CC and it had increased by £50 to approx. £350. With more time this year as we only thought of insurance the day we were picking the van up!!, we shopped around. We too, went on a comparison website and Cover4Caravans came up the best deal. Online they quoted £154. We have learnt before this won't be the final offer!!. 48 hours later the phone rang and it was them and they offered us the same package, but at £114...£40 less. It was more or less the same as CC. On the actual day our insurance was to run out, we had another letter from CC and this time offering the insurance for approx. £230. I do hate these games they play. Be aware...we couldn't find an insurance package that covered cameras or laptops left in the van. Regards Chris

I have our Troll insured with Lifesure. £18500 total value including contents. £222 including breakdown cover for the Eriba & European cover.
Camping and caravan club was £561.

How many days European cover?

180 days European cover according to the Lifesure website.

They're all a bunch of rogues. My Dad has just got his household insurance renewal at £112. He's 89, practically housebound with all the security etc, so a fairly low risk. I went online, shopped around and got it down to £74 with another reputable company. Phoned to stop the automatic renewal of his current insurance, when they heard he was leaving they immediately dropped the quote to £84, too little too late I told them. It really annoys me, if they can do it for £84 why send out a renewal of £112? Because they think you are daft enough to cough up without checking around. Toerags the lot of them

It seems to me that a lot of you are worried about foreign cover? and the duration of that cover? that beiing the case why not buy seperate cover or indeed insure your van offshore? When we were in Germany we were covered and insured through the AA who would provide cover through ADAC. When we came back to the UK we had changed it around due to currency fluctuations, so then we were with ADAC with cover provided in the UK by the AA.

As I say it's just a thought and worth a look

For my 1990 Puck I was quoted £138.72 by A plan, but rang Mr Calder's company and was quoted £95.00. This came down to £85.00 when I rang to accept the quote. My excess is down to £100 from £150 and contents were also covered. All in all, my regards to Mr Calders post and his company for the information . 🖖
