Compare Caravan Insurance

Buying insurance for a caravan may seem simple enough on paper. But, there is actually quite a lot to think about before you may feel confident enough to compare caravan insurance to find a suitable policy. Before you start comparing quotes and costs you may want to think about what you actually need from your cover.

Your first job may well be to decide what kind of caravan you need to insure and where you’ll keep it. So, for example, might you be:

• Using a touring caravan that you simply store at home when you aren’t on the road?
• Buying a static caravan that is to be permanently based in a holiday/caravan park or on a campsite?

The insurance policies on offer for both these kinds of caravans may have some similarities but they may also come with some differences.

For example, parking a touring caravan in your drive at home when you aren’t using it means that you may be able to keep an eye on it relatively easily. It’ll also be easy to keep the possessions you have in the caravan to a minimum. But keeping a caravan on a site means that you won’t be there all the time to watch over it and you may want to keep it kitted out so you are able to travel light when you travel to stay there.

Knowing what you may use your caravan for may help you better compare caravan insurance. The insurance features you may want to choose from include:

• Structural and internal possessions cover for fire, theft and accidental damage.
• Public liability cover (in case another person gets hurts or has an accident when they are in, around or using your caravan).
• Bad weather damage (i.e. storms and floods etc).
• Personal accident cover.
• Loss of use/income expenses.

Looking online for a quote comparison may be the quickest way to find suitable policies and to find quotes that suit your pocket. Many owners use specialist insurance brokers to do this for them. These brokers may well be able to search the market on your behalf to find policies that may be suitable.

Every owner may have different needs from their policy. Working out what you need and how much cover might suit you are good first steps to take before you compare caravan insurance to find a suitable quote.
