How to compare caravan insurance

To compare caravan insurance may require a certain degree of experience and knowledge of the marketplace. If you are confident that you know what to compare when looking at caravan insurance cover, then you won’t need to read this!

However, if you don’t know what you are actually comparing or the type of cover you need, then it may be a bit of a fruitless exercise.

Similarly, you may think it easy. Look at a list of prices, pick the cheapest – job done! What could be simpler? However, we don’t see it that way – and if you, then you may need to give us a call so that we can help!

A professional insurance provider such as ourselves has a duty to try and ensure that their client has insurance that is suitable for their needs. To be sure that’s the case it can require looking at a range of characteristics of a potential policy – and certainly not just its price.

The caravan cover

The factors that need to be examined will vary depending upon the type of caravan the policy applies to. However, a sample of general points may be:

• does the policy’s cover match the client’s potential use (eg. continental cover, replacement of contents etc) – in other words, not trying to fit your needs to what a policy provides but the other way around;
• how much flexibility is available in terms of discounts for things such as additional security measures;
• what cover is available for contents (e.g. market value or new-for-old);
• and so on.

It’s only by looking at these things in some detail that one can start to be able to realistically assess the merits of one policy versus another – in other words to compare caravan insurance.

That’s partly also why the concept of cheap caravan insurance may be so hard to define.

Of course in absolute terms, what’s cheap for any one individual may not be cheap for another, but it’s also more than that.

For most people, apart from their home, their caravan is probably one of the most expensive possessions they’ll ever own. Given its value and the potential cost of replacing or radically repairing it, the cost of caravan insurance may pale into insignificance.

That’s why cheapness may sometimes be a deeply misleading concept where caravan cover insurance is concerned.
