What does our touring caravan insurance cover?

With loss or damage to your caravan, its contents, and to any furniture kept in the awning, there’s no need to cut essential cover when insuring your caravan.

When choosing a policy, it’s important to know what’s included and excluded. Our summary below covers key information about our touring caravan products. No policy protects you against every scenario and it’s best to read our policy documents to understand the conditions and exclusions that apply when thinking about your touring caravan insurance cover. Should you have a request that doesn’t quite fit the mould, simply call us and we’ll be happy to help.

Whether you call us or complete your purchase online, you’ll be asked about where your caravan is stored, this may be on the driveway or in a secure site. You’ll also be asked about any security equipment you have fitted, this may be a hitch lock or a wheel-clamp. If you don’t know, speak with one of our specialist team and we’ll ensure you get the right policy for you.
