What Are The Different Types Of Caravan Cover?

New for old: If your caravan is damaged beyond repair or stolen, we can replace it with a brand-new, like-for-like model.
Market value: This type of insurance can pay out the current worth of your caravan at the time of a claim. It’s often cheaper than new for old cover.

What Can Caravan Insurance Cover?

Intasure’s caravan insurance policy can offer cover if your caravan or its contents are damaged in an accident or stolen. It can also cover you if your caravan causes any damage or injury to property or third parties. For example, if your caravan is involved in a collision.

Generally, cover for caravans includes the following:

New for old or market value:

Can replace old caravans with a new model or pays you the market value of your caravan if it’s lost, damaged, or stolen.
Contents:

Can cover the cost to repair or replace caravan contents, including personal belongings.
Public liability:

Can pay for fees associated with public liability claims, such as accidents and injuries.
Accidental damage:

Tips To Reduce The Cost Of Caravan Insurance

Here are some practical ways to help lower your caravan insurance costs

Choose a higher excess: Paying a higher excess in the event of a claim can lower your premium.
Improve security: Adding security features like wheel clamps, hitch locks, alarm systems or tracking devices can signal to insurers that your caravan is at lower risk, helping to reduce your premium.
Choose a secure site: Keeping your caravan at a secure storage site can lead to cheaper premiums.
No claims history: Having a clean claim record can show insurers that you’re lower risk, which can lower your premium
Only get the cover you need: Avoid over-insuring by reviewing what’s included in your policy. For example, if you don’t take your caravan abroad, you might not need European cover.

Caravan Insurance FAQ

Please note that these frequently asked questions are not a substitute for the policy wording. For full terms and conditions please see the policy documentation.

What is caravan insurance?

Caravan insurance helps protect you and your caravan if something goes wrong. For instance, if your caravan and its contents are stolen or damaged, or if there’s an accident. Caravan insurance can offer financial protection to help replace stolen items and repair damage. It can also help to cover compensation fees following an insured claim.
Do I Need Caravan Insurance?

Perhaps you’re assessing your budget and asking whether it’s really worth having caravan insurance. While it’s not a legal requirement, it can offer useful protection, particularly in situations where other types of cover fall short.

For example, if your caravan is damaged while being towed, your car insurance generally only provides third-party cover. That means any damage to your caravan wouldn’t be covered if you’re at fault in an accident. The same applies if it’s stolen or damage when it’s detached from your car. In both cases, you could be left to foot the bill without suitable caravan insurance.
How Much Cover Do I Need For My Caravan?

How much cover you require depends on many things. For example, the value of your caravan will need to be considered, as well as its location and whether you rent it out. You’ll also need to choose whether you want new for old or market value cover.
How Much Does Caravan Insurance Cost?
The cost of caravan insurance varies depending on several factors, including:
- Where your caravan is parked and stored: The locations you visit can impact your premium and how many security features are present, such as cameras.
- The age and upkeep of your caravan: You’d typically expect to pay a lower premium for a newer caravan with fewer miles on the clock.
- The size of your caravan: Caravans and static homes with large floor plans are likely to attract higher premiums.
- The value of your contents: Static caravans and tourers with high-value contents may have higher premiums, so avoid storing valuables on board if possible.
- The value of your caravan and type of cover: Be aware that choosing new for old cover will require a valuation based on the cost of a brand-new model, while market value cover will need a valuation of the same make and model in its current condition. As such, the market value cover can lead to cheaper premiums.Note for Intasure: Information on average policy amounts would be very useful.
Can The Site My Caravan Is On Make A Difference?
Yes, the location of your caravan can affect the cost of your insurance. Insurers take several factors into account, including:
- Security: A well-secured site with controlled access, CCTV, or a CaSSOA accreditation can reduce your premium.
- Flood risk: If the site is in a flood-prone area, insurance is likely to cost more.
- Exposure to harsh weather: Locations exposed to strong winds, storms, or heavy snowfall may also increase the risk of damage and, in turn, your premium.
Is Caravan Insurance A Legal Requirement?

Insurance cover for caravans isn’t a legal requirement in the UK, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider it. Owning a caravan comes with risks, including accidental damage, theft of belongings, and public liability claims, especially if you rent it out to holidaymakers.

Without insurance, you may be personally liable to cover fees. These costs can be expensive, particularly if they involve replacing your entire caravan and its contents.
Does Caravan Insurance Cover Contents?

Yes, most caravan insurance policies include contents cover, helping to protect the personal belongings you keep inside your caravan. You can usually choose new for old cover if your contents are stolen or damaged beyond repair, they can be replaced with brand-new items of the same kind (or closest equivalent).
Does Caravan Insurance Cover Weather Damage?

Yes, caravan insurance can provide cover for weather-related damage, which can be a common risk, especially when your caravan is stored outdoors. This can include storm damage, flood damage and snow damage.
What’s Not Covered By Caravan Insurance?
The following things are not covered by our caravan insurance:
- Any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense of any kind caused by or resulting from poor or faulty design, workmanship or use of faulty materials
- Loss or damage caused by insects, birds, vermin or domestic pets
- Any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense of any kind directly or indirectly caused by, resulting from or in connection with any act of Terrorism
- Loss or damage by storm, flood or weight of snow unless your leisure home is securely anchored at all four corners of the chassis
Will My Caravan Still Be Insured If I Leave It Unoccupied?

Our static home and mobile home insurance policies can cover periods of unoccupancy, but whether you’re covered can depend on your policy.

Homeowners must tell us if their caravan has been unoccupied for 180 consecutive days or more. Unfortunately, if you have a park home policy, accidental damages and losses aren’t covered while your property is unoccupied.
Can I Let My Caravan Out With Caravan Insurance?

Our policies include public liability cover up to £2.5 million as standard. It means if an insured claim arises from a guest who experiences injury, illness, or death while staying at your caravan, it can help cover the costs.

If you’re residing or staying at a holiday park, you may wish to consider whether the park allows rentals. Some park homes restrict or don’t allow any form of letting, so you may want to check beforehand.

If you let your caravan, you might also benefit from our unoccupancy cover. This can help provide protection for your caravan whether you’re present or not, but exemptions apply. You can read the policy wording for full conditions and exclusions.
Is It Illegal To Tow A Caravan Without Insurance?
Is It Illegal To Tow A Caravan Without Insurance?

In many jurisdictions, it is not illegal to tow a caravan without specific caravan insurance, but there are important considerations to keep in mind:
- Vehicle Insurance: The vehicle doing the towing must be insured. Most standard car insurance policies cover towing a caravan, but it’s essential to check with your insurer to ensure that your policy includes this coverage.
- Liability coverage: While towing a caravan, you should have liability coverage in case of accidents or damage caused to third parties. This is typically covered under your vehicle insurance, but again, verification with your insurer is necessary.
- Caravan insurance: While not legally required, having separate caravan insurance is advisable. This type of insurance can cover damages to the caravan itself, theft, and other risks that may not be covered under your vehicle insurance.
- Roadworthiness and safety: Legal requirements often focus on the roadworthiness and safety of the caravan, such as ensuring it is properly hitched, has functioning lights, and adheres to weight limits.
- Local laws: Laws and regulations can vary significantly by country or region, so it’s important to check local laws regarding towing and insurance requirements.
While it may not be illegal to tow a caravan without specific caravan insurance, having adequate coverage is a sensible consideration to protect yourself financially in case of accidents or damage. It’s advised to consult with your insurance provider to understand your cover options and obligations.
