Legally you don’t need insurance for your caravan, but it’s sensible to consider it in order to protect your investment.
Remember caravans are not covered under a car insurance policy - if you cause a traffic collision and your caravan’s damaged, you’d pay to replace or repair it.
If the accident wasn’t your fault, the other driver’s insurance might pay for the damage because they have third-party liability. However, every car insurance policy’s different and cover isn’t guaranteed.
Caravan insurance, on the other hand, will offer cover for you for these scenarios, plus cover for theft and damage, whether your caravan’s static or attached to the car.
When looking for Caravan insurance you consider what could go wrong and look at policies that cover things like fire, theft, accidental damage, and weather damage.
Besides the basic cover, you can also look at the optional add-ons like personal possessions cover and camping equipment cover to tailor the product to your needs.
A caravan insurance policy could cover you for the following:
Your main home contents insurance may offer some cover for possessions in your caravan but this will depend on the level of cover you have so best to check with them.
Touring caravans are towed by a vehicle, while static caravans are permanent structures, usually kept on a caravan site where you have amenities like shops and cafes.
Touring caravans shouldn’t be confused with motorhomes either. Both have living quarters on board, but caravans are towed, while motorhomes are driven.
Because motorhomes have a cab and engine attached, they're vehicles, so you need specialist motor insurance for them.
