The touring caravan is practically a part of the family for many an owner. Your ‘van provides a practical and vital lifeline by offering you ever-ready means of escaping the humdrum routine of everyday life and getting out and about in the great outdoors.

That’s why most owners look to protect their caravan with appropriate touring caravan insurance. However, we recognise that insurance isn’t a subject everybody naturally takes to. As a result, sometimes it’s nice to have a little assistance in finding a suitable solution to your touring caravan insurance needs.

This is an area where we at Cover4Caravans can help you.

Just what is touring caravan insurance?

When you own a caravan, you’ll typically get several potential risks into the bargain. They will fall into one of the following categories:

  • an encounter with someone with criminal intent – that might include an unwelcome intrusion as a burglar makes off with precious items from your caravan or even the theft of the entire trailer itself;
  • damage caused by forces of nature beyond your control – the so-called acts of God, such as storms, floods and so on;
  • damage or loss arising from an accident of your own making; or
  • compensation-seeking claims from third parties who have suffered injury or property damage due to some kind of contact with your caravan.

A consequence of any one of these types of events or circumstances can often leave you facing exceptionally substantial and unwelcome bills. Touring caravan insurance offers you financial protection and indemnity against such losses.

Choosing the appropriate policy

When choosing your touring caravan insurance company, you could well be overwhelmed – there are lots of them, and there are considerable differences in the products each has to offer. For some idea of the wide range of insurers in the market, take a look at the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) website.

Some caravan owners might choose between competing insurance products on price alone – opting for the cheapest on offer. But that could be short-sighted.

It’s a simple fact of life that if you have to call upon your insurance cover for help, the last thing you will be thinking about under those circumstances is how much it originally cost. Instead, you’ll be 100% focused on just what your policy covers and whether or not you will be able to get your claim approved.

Therefore, it seems logical that you are better off concentrating on just what the insurance policy has to offer – and the cover it provides – rather than the headline price.

Interpreting caravan insurance policies

It isn’t so much a question of one policy being good and another bad. It’s more about matching your exact circumstances and requirements to a suitable policy.

To illustrate, consider what might happen should your caravan be stolen.

Policies might differ significantly in how they will respond – whether that is:

  • new-for-old caravan replacement for vehicles that are no more than two years old and which have had a single owner since new;
  • new-for-old replacement for caravans up to five years old, but again, only if you have been the sole owner since new;
  • offering only market valuation compensation; or
  • the gold standard solution that we offer by way of new-for-old replacement of caravans up to five years old, irrespective of how many previous owners there might have been.

That is just one example of many such considerations that might apply when reviewing the policies offered by touring caravan insurance companies.

Do you feel comfortable reviewing different insurance policies?

In our experience, not everyone has the time or inclination to conduct an in-depth review of several competing policies. As a result, selections can sometimes be rushed, and that might be something that you’ll regret at your leisure in the event of a claim.

There is an alternative – and that is to allow us to do that job entirely on your behalf by assisting you in selecting suitable cover for your particular needs and circumstances and balancing pricing against the appropriateness of the cover provided.
