Classic Caravan insurance in the UK

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Your caravan is your pride and joy, a place to cherish and somewhere that will provide you with many loving memories over the years. At Insure My Caravan, we know how important it is that you consider caravan insurance in order to protect yourself against damage that occurs throughout years of use as well as unexpected problems that can arise. Resolving faults or problems with your caravan or its contents can become increasingly expensive to undertake so, by insuring your caravan you can save money and be safe in the knowledge that your caravan is covered against all eventualities.

At Insure My Caravan, we use a panel of the most reputable and trusted companies including Ageas, Amtrust, Towergate and K Drewe to help you find suitable cover on various caravans including touring caravans, static caravans, leisure homes, motor homes and park homes.

Each and every one of the trusted insurance providers we use will offer differing policies, so it is important to ensure the policy you are signing up for includes everything you will need cover against to fully protect your caravan and prevent unexpected problems when processing a claim.

Before purchasing caravan insurance there are two crucial factors to consider. Firstly, many insurers place a high-risk items limit of around £1000 on your policy. With this in mind, it is important that if you have high value goods you wish to insure in your caravan, you have a policy that includes cover with a more appropriate limit or no limit at all.

Secondly, some companies’ exercise an old-for-new policy on damaged furniture and other items. This is important to take into consideration because providers who fail to offer this simply provide the used value of the goods that are damaged; this is a very expensive mistake often made when taking out various types of insurance.

At CETA Insure My Caravan, we have the perfect solution for those of you looking for suitable, tailor-made insurance policies. Using our Price Comparison Quotation System you can ensure that you find the best caravan insurance policy for you – at the best prices available. Let us help you today.

Enjoy Your Next Eco-friendly Touring Caravan Holiday With The Right Caravan Insurance

Eco – Friendly Holidaying and Correct Caravan Insurance the Key to Success

The caravan holidaying heyday of the 1970s may have suffered when budget airlines promised to take us to sunnier climates for less, but it seems as though the scales have well and truly tipped back in favour of hitching up and exploring. A new report from researchers at Lancaster University suggests any holidaymaker looking for an environmentally friendly getaway may want to look at going on a touring caravan holiday, equipped with the correct caravan insurance of course.

The University looked at the carbon footprint of a typical caravanning holiday in England and they found that even when the carbon footprint of the journey by car to the campsite is taken into account a touring caravan holiday still proves to be one of the greenest holiday’s you can enjoy.

Although this is great news for UK campsite and camping providers, Director of Insure My Caravan, David Quick, stresses that it’s not just about choosing a greener holiday, but that having the right caravan insurance is an important part of your holiday or gap-year experience.

“It’s great that the research shows that a touring caravanning holiday is a more eco-friendly option. I’ve always thought they offer that something special too and with more low-cost travel agents going bust, we certainly hope and expect to see a caravanning boom. But I’d urge anyone going on a touring caravan adventure to take out the right insurance. If going abroad you should make sure that your policy covers you for continental use too.”

The message from the industry then seems to be that whether you’re looking for an ideal holiday or are taking a gap-year in this country or abroad, you should ensure your touring caravan insurance policy covers you for everything.

The findings from this study showed that a return plane journey to Spain creates around 500kg of CO2, compared to a couple in a touring caravan, who only produce on average around 4kg of CO2. Along with the environmental benefits, taking a touring caravan holiday has also been held up as a great way to encourage the family or a group of friends to head off on an adventure and explore – whilst still saving money.

Overall, the new study seems to suggest that caravanners help to preserve the environment while on a touring caravan holiday, as opposed to their jet setting counterparts. This and the fact that caravan insurance can be purchased at a reasonable cost will come as welcome news to many.

Two Berth Caravans for Sale

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

If you’re looking to catch the last of the sun before winter really sets in, it’s well worth considering a holiday caravanning or camping. Domestic holidays like this tend to be cheaper than going abroad and can be perfect for those without much time off to spare. Here at Find Caravan our website has a fantastic selection of pre-owned caravans for sale, including two berth designs ideal for a romantic weekend with that special someone. If camping sounds like too much hard work why not invest in a caravan for the coming years and enjoy reasonable holidaying together.

Many people simply don’t consider how fun, exciting and unique a caravan holiday can be. Picture the scene; you and your partner hitching up a lovely pre-owned two berth in the sun, heading for the coast or venture further afield if finances allow. Modern caravans are safe, warm and most come with a selection of mod-cons, depending upon your budget.

Why not take a look at our caravan directory? The site features photographs and specifications for the various models on offer, including details of their locations around the country. There’s even a useful search facility, allowing you to specify details like price, location and type.

With the cost of living still on the rise, it’s important for homeowners to trim the fat where possible. In terms of holidaying, buying a used two berth caravan (such as a Bailey Ranger for example) can save a lot of money when compared with purchasing new.

The majority of used caravans for sale tend to be well looked after too; unlike a car, a caravan is usually only used periodically, meaning wear and tear is kept to a minimum. Why not log on to our website to see what bargains you can find. We don’t charge owners to advertise and you won’t be bombarded with commercial adverts either – just genuine, high quality used caravans for sale.

Online Caravan Insurance Quotes

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

It’s a well researched fact that tourists are more likely to fall victim to crimes, and those with a caravan make up a significant part of this disproportionate percentage. While most of us can deal with having a little change stolen, the theft of a caravan and/or its contents is another matter entirely. The hassle of ringing round and cancelling your debit cards is nothing compared to being stranded hundreds of miles from home as your most valuable asset heads in opposite direction bound for illegal resale. Taking time to source caravan insurance quotes now pays dividends later.

At Insure My Caravan we understand that comparing caravan insurance quotations can be incredibly boring and time consuming. With sheets of paper and post-its littering the desk, that weekend relaxing in the Home Counties can seem like a million miles away. Luckily, we’re constantly reviewing our online quote caparison software to ensure that sourcing effective insurance continues to be that little bit easier.

It would be a real tragedy if a little inconvenience finding insurance meant that your caravan wasn’t covered in the event of a crime or collision. Caravan parks draw resourceful thieves who literally pick and choose from amongst vans from all over the country.

If you’re visiting a caravan park in the coming months, remember to secure adequate cover through a broker like us beforehand, so that a bad experience doesn’t have financial repercussions which last for years to come.  In addition, there are simple ways to deter criminals.

For example, visible deterrents are useful. Wheel clamps provide an obvious and effective deterrent, in addition to scoring kits which allow identification marks to be added to a caravan’s windows. When parked amongst a host of other caravans, the key is to make sure your van into the most difficult to target. For more useful information and competitive caravan insurance quotes explore the Insure My Caravan website this summer.

Predicted Caravanning Boom Supports Calls For Effective Caravan Insurance

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Industry specialists urge new and seasoned holiday makers to secure adequate caravan insurance

As holidaymakers nationwide settle back into the routine after the recent bank holiday weekend, it will come as no surprise to most to hear of the predicted rise in caravanning for the coming year. May bank holiday statistics suggest that the industry is experiencing something of a boom, with caravan site figures up considerably against last year. However, with caravans increasing in popularity and with more on the road, caravan insurance broker ‘Insure My Caravan’ has called for an increased awareness of the necessity of comprehensive cover.

Experts are blaming the rise in caravanning on a number of factors. Popularly branded the prime culprit is the ash cloud that so recently disrupted flights in and out of the country. With unclear predictions regarding the resumption of normal flights, it’s thought that many Britons enjoyed the safety of domestic holidays in their caravans instead, with many people enjoying this type of holiday-making for the very first time. David Quick, Director of broker ‘Insure My Caravan’ welcomed the news, but advised new revellers to be wise –

‘Insure My Caravan would welcome a caravanning boom with pleasure, especially if it means more and more people are enjoying this fantastic way of life. But we’re also passionate about making sure that caravans are safe, and the right caravan cover can make sure new and existing revellers secure their caravans against the rise in theft and road traffic accidents which may accompany such a boom.’

Neglecting to cover a caravan certainly would negate the financial benefits that have also been suggested as a reason for the rise in caravanning. With the recession of recent years it’s probable that many holiday makers turned to domestic breaks to save money against going abroad, and with everyone still tightening their belts, such activity is likely to continue.

Furthermore, the current British Airways strikes are an added discouragement to globe trotters which has possibly contributed to the rise in site bookings further. But regardless of the reasons behind it, as caravanning becomes more popular, it follows that the country may see an increase in the amount of vehicles stolen to order.

The Insure My Caravan website is an excellent resource for owners looking to secure cover against such eventualities, without the hassle of spending days researching the best deals. They source quotations from reputable insurers to ensure that caravanners are correctly covered.

The advice from experts is clear; get comprehensive caravan insurance now before it’s too late. Those owners who do so can look forward to what is set to be a long and prosperous summer for the British caravanning industry. For more information about the insurance policies from Insure My Caravan, visit their website or fill out their online Contact Form.

Folding Caravan Insurance

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

One of the beauties of caravanning is the fact that there are so many different types of vehicle available. From motorhomes to campervans to static vans, there’s something to suit every lifestyle in the caravanning industry. Folding caravans were extremely popular throughout the late eighties and nineties and were designed to offer an easily transportable and space saving alternative to traditional towing vans. There’s a large used market in existence today which means that folding caravan insurance is as important as any cover for any other style.  Insure My Caravan provides a selection of quotes for caravans of every kind.

Whether you have a fully folding caravan or more modern vehicle with only a folding roof, it’s important that it’s insured against theft. Folding caravans may not offer the level of security that more traditional caravan styles afford meaning that they may be targeted by opportunistic thieves. While wheel clamps and hitch locks can help deter theft, comprehensive insurance means that your investment is protected.

The main reason people choose folding caravans is because they are more easily towed. For those travelling considerable distances, such as on the continent, this can mean lower fuel consumption and  a generally more hassle free experience.

Here at Insure My Caravan we can offer quotes which include continental cover from 180 to 365 days in duration. This allows holiday makers to enjoy everything Europe has to offer all from the comfort of a caravan which can be assembled and unassembled in a matter of minutes!

If you have had difficulty sourcing effective folding caravan insurance why not fill out an online quotation form with Insure My Caravan. Because we research policies from a number of leading insurers, we are usually able to offer a policy which comprises the required cover at the desired price.

Cheap Caravan Insurance Quotes

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

It’s a fact of life that the best value for money is achieved by receiving more for less. Where caravan insurance is concerned, this assumption is no different whatsoever. But how can customers be sure they’re receiving extensive cover for their money? Insure My Caravan is an established insurance broker which provides online caravan insurance quotes side by side; an ideal function which allows for close, in –depth policy comparisons. We source policies from major insurers so that caravan owners are spared the hassle of ringing around themselves, resulting in a cheap yet effective policy.

The key to selecting cover which represents good value for money is in the details. Consumers should look at the circumstance in which their caravan is protected. If a policy has a very low price tag but barely covers anything, then it’s obviously worth spending a little more on a policy which has more comprehensive assurances.

Here at Insure My Caravan, we enable customers to view every single feature of the policy presented to them, including aspects such as contents cover, awning cover, continental cover and no claims discount protection. Insurance can also cover fire, flood and theft in addition to malicious damage cover for caravans even when parked on the driveway at home.

When shopping around for policies, it’s easy for caravan owners to miss these details and purchase a policy which may let them down. It’s only when an incident occurs and you require help that omissions in cover become apparent.

For example, some of the more comprehensive policies will cover the cost of expenses spent on accommodation, should your caravan be stolen or rendered inhabitable during a holiday. Without caravan insurance quotes from a comparison website like Insure My Caravan, holiday makers could be left drastically out of pocket. For more information visit our website or speak to member of the team over the phone.

Ensure You Are Covered With a Comprehensive Caravan Insurance Policy

With another Bank Holiday just around the corner in the UK, many caravan owners will be looking to take advantage and get away for a few days. Of course travelling on the motorway networks of Great Britain is fraught with danger, so there really has never been a better time to take out a caravan insurance policy.

According to a survey carried out by Safeguard, the average person spends five hours online searching for an insurance quote most suitable for them. What seems like a daunting task can be made quicker and easier thanks to the online quote comparison system on offer from Insure My Caravan.

Accidents do unfortunately happen, so getting covered for the worst case scenario is a good idea. The quotations service offered by Insure My Caravan enables owners to have access to hundreds of policies that cover all eventualities. The relative prices can be compared too, so all budgets are catered for.

A caravan insurance policy should ideally not only cater for damage caused by a bump or crash with another vehicle. Additional criteria, such as theft, breakdown cover and protection against fire, storm and flood damage – because you never know with the UK weather – should also be considered.

With Insure My Caravan, it is not just the caravan itself that can be covered. There is also contents insurance that works in much the same way as home contents insurance for example. This includes personal possessions, bedding, linen, furniture and furnishings etc.

Public liability insurance is another of those unfortunate aspects that needs to be considered. This will cover an individual in the event of an accident causing death or injury, usually of an amount up to £2,000,000, as well as damage to property.

The message from Insure My Caravan therefore is simple: Yes consider price as a key criteria, but ultimately ensure that you are covered for all possible scenarios, from this Bank Holiday and into the future. Browse their website for more information or give them a call on 0845 458 0585, alternatively fill in their contact form.
