What’s in a campervan insurance quote?
What many people typically look for in any insurance quote is value for money – that is to say, the product that best suits their needs and their pocket. Since you might have spent several thousands of pounds buying the vehicle, when you are looking for a campervan insurance quote, therefore, you are going to expect it to be the one that delivers comprehensive protection of your investment for the best possible price.
These days, of course, that search for the insurance you want is easily conducted by a search online. This helps you trawl through the products on offer from a range of insurers, to produce quotes for the product you want at a price you are able to afford. With respect to campervan insurance, what are the keys to securing the most realistic quotes?
- spoilt for choice – when searching online, of course, you might feel spoilt for choice. Since insurance for a motor home or campervan is a more specialised product than other motor insurance, it is useful to narrow your search by visiting websites with particular experience and expertise in arranging campervan insurance quotes;
- several quotes – although you might have narrowed down your search amongst those insurers who are specialists in this type of cover, it is still worth obtaining a motorhome insurance quote from more than one provider. Once again, an online search, using a specialist website devoted to insurance for campervans and motor homes is going to let you review the options from several different providers;
- valuation – an important first step is knowing the value of your campervan. If it were to be stolen and not recovered or destroyed in an accident or fire, what is the cost of replacing the vehicle?
- equipment and contents – although valuation is an important part of insuring any motor vehicle, with a campervan there is naturally rather more involved. Gas cylinders, steps and awnings, for example, are items unlikely to be found in other motor vehicles but need to be included in your campervan insurance quote together with all the other equipment and possessions you normally take away on trips in your home away from home. Note that special terms may apply to some of these items – awnings, for example, may need to be shown separately on your insurance schedule and you may have to fulfil certain obligations in order to insure that particular part of your motorhome;
- mileage – it is not uncommon for your campervan insurance quote to be based on a limited annual mileage. If you only use the vehicle occasionally, for relatively short trips, this might suit you. If you intend to use your motor home on a more regular basis and for more distant holidays, however, you are likely to want quotes that reflect this extend use.
