Overseas Static Caravan Insurance

Caravan Insurance Abroad FAQs

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

• Can I take my caravan to Europe?

  If you own a static caravan, it’s not typically designed to be towed or transported. Instead, most owners purchase and site their static caravan abroad, often in holiday parks across France, Spain, or other European destinations.

   

  If you’re planning to tow your caravan to Europe, it’s likely a touring caravan. You may want to consider touring caravan insurance with European cover to help protect you while travelling abroad.

• How much does caravan insurance cost?

  The cost of overseas static caravan insurance varies depending on your circumstances. Every caravan is different, so you should consider getting a tailored quote.

   

  Insurers usually consider the following when giving you a quote:

  • Location of your caravan: Caravans based in areas prone to flooding or extreme weather may cost more to insure.
  • Size of your caravan: Larger static caravans often cost more to insure due to increased rebuild or replacement costs.
  • Age of your caravan: Older units may be more susceptible to wear and tear, which can make policies more expensive.
  • Type of caravan: Some caravans with non-standard construction can be more expensive to repair or replace.
  • Value of your caravan: Higher-value caravans generally require more cover, which can increase the cost of your policy.

  To help process your claim promptly, please have the following information handy:

  • Details of what happened, including the date and location of the incident
  • A description of the damage or loss
  • Photos, if available, and any supporting documents (e.g. police reports or repair quotes)

• Why would I need public liability cover?

  Public liability cover can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged while staying in your overseas static caravan. It can be especially important to consider if you rent out your caravan, as it may cover compensation claims and legal costs, which can be incredibly expensive otherwise.

• Are there any restrictions to overseas caravan insurance?

  As with most insurance policies, exclusions apply. Our overseas static caravan insurance can provide cover whether it’s occupied or not, but the extent of your cover depends on how long you leave it unoccupied. Geographical restrictions may also apply, especially in earthquake zones. Please contact our team for further details on restrictions.

• Is overseas caravan insurance a legal requirement?

  No, but overseas static caravan insurance can help protect your caravan from several risks, including damage caused by fire, flood, storms, and escape of water. Without suitable cover, you could be left out of pocket if your caravan or belongings are damaged.
