Campervan insurance is straightforward with Lifesure. It helps that we have multiple payment options, such as instalments by direct debit, debit card, credit card, BACS, or bank transfer. You can spread the cost to make payment more manageable. We work with Close Brothers Premium Finance to enable you to pay in regular instalments*.

Flexible payment dates, online account management, and credit agreement renewal can make it easier to purchase appropriate protection.

*We work with a third party company called Close Brothers Premium Finance Limited (‘CBL’), which manages instalment payments. We act as a credit broker and we are not a lender. If you have opted to pay by monthly direct debit, we will pass your details to CBL and they will make a credit decision about you, which may include a credit check being carried out. Please let us know immediately if you do not consent to us sharing your details with CBL. If CBL agrees to provide you with credit you will receive a welcome pack including a credit agreement from CBL, which you will need to sign and return to CBL. Please note that CBL has its own set of terms, conditions and charges and you should familiarise yourself with these carefully. We may receive a commission for introducing you to CBL. Paying by monthly direct debit via CBL will cost more than paying by one off payment. As part of your premium finance journey, Close Brothers will provide you with a commission disclosure detailing the commission we earn. You will have 12 days to review this information and provide your consent. If you decide not to consent to the commission amount, Close Brothers will be unable to process your loan, and you will need to arrange to pay the balance in full.

Can I drive a campervan on my car insurance?

Many standard car insurance policies don’t cover campervans because they are classified differently from regular cars.

Campervan insurance is designed to cover the unique aspects of your vehicle, such as living spaces, fixtures, and modifications that standard van insurance might overlook. A dedicated campervan insurance policy aims to ensure that all aspects of your vehicle are covered, from the kitchen to the pop-up roof, offering you peace of mind on the road.
