Our motorhome insurance reviews

Flexible payment options

Motorhome insurance is simple with Lifesure. It helps that we have multiple payment options, such as instalments by financed 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 establish 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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need motorhome insurance?

Yes, motorhome insurance is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it’s a legal requirement in the UK, meaning you cannot drive your motorhome on public roads without insurance, similar to car insurance laws. Failing to have the proper cover could result in fines, penalties, or your motorhome being impounded.

Secondly, motorhome insurance can protect you financially by covering accidents, theft, or damage to your vehicle. Whether it’s a minor collision or major repairs, having insurance can mean you won’t have to bear the full cost.

It can also provide coverage for personal belongings inside your motorhome, which is especially important if you use it for long trips or holidays. Plus, motorhome insurance can cover third-party liability, meaning you’re protected if you cause damage to other vehicles, property, or people while driving.

Who needs motorhome insurance, and what are the benefits?

It’s a legal requirement to have motorhome insurance if you drive a motorhome. It’s also handy, as it can cover repair costs after an accident, protect you from theft and damage, and offer you peace of mind while you’re on the road.

What’s the difference between motorhome insurance and campervan insurance?

The main differences between these insurance premiums are dictated by the differences in size, value and usage. Therefore, insurance premiums can vary depending on:

  • Security: Motorhomes often require greater security measures due to their size and value compared with campervans. This can influence insurance premiums between these two vehicles.
  • Value: There is also a price difference between many motorhomes and campervans, with motorhomes often being more expensive to purchase due to their greater size and built-in living spaces. Therefore, it is common for motorhome insurance to have higher premiums to cover replacement or repair damage to a more expensive vehicle.

Can I drive a motorhome on my car insurance?

Generally, you can't drive a motorhome on your regular car insurance. Motorhomes usually need dedicated insurance because they’re larger and have different risks than cars.

Can I drive a motorhome in the UK with a standard car driving license?

Whether you can drive a motorhome will depend largely on when you received your UK driving license. Those who were issued their license before 1997 will be able to drive any vehicle over 7,500kg (category C1) which covers the majority of UK motorhomes. If you received your license after 1st January 1997, you are only eligible to drive vehicles weighing up to 3,500kg (also known as category B and B1 vehicles). Most UK motorhomes should fall within this weight category, except for American RVs which are typically heavier. It is always best to check the back of your driving license and the weight of your vehicle before driving a motorhome. For more information, read out handy guide on licenses for motorhomes.

What is the minimum age to insure a motorhome?

Many insurance companies, including Lifesure, require drivers to be at least 21 to be eligible for motorhome insurance.

Is motorhome insurance a legal requirement?

Motorhome insurance is a legal requirement in the UK, just like car insurance. It helps protect you, your vehicle, and others on the road in case of an accident or damage.

How can I make my motorhome insurance cheaper?

There are several ways that could lower your motorhome insurance costs:

  • Improve your motorhome’s security with alarms or trackers.
  • Park in safe, secure areas.
  • Get specialist cover if you have a self-build motorhome.
  • Drive safely to avoid claims and build up your no-claims discount.
