Core Policy Components
Differing from standard car insurance, campervan insurance is more comprehensive and looks at a number of situations that could occur on the road. There are a few key components to consider when looking at policies:
Breakdown Insurance
Although it might not seem so bad to break down in a vehicle that can double as a bedroom, getting back on the road is always preferable!
European Cover
If you plan on taking your campervan abroad to explore Europe, you should inquire about European driving cover, for extra peace of mind
Agreed Value Insurance
You will be paid out to an agreed value in the event of a total loss, so your campervan value may depreciate, but your pay-out will remain the same
Why Do You Need Campervan Insurance?
Campervan insurance helps to mitigate the inherent risks associated with owning and operating a campervan.
For example, if you get into an accident with another vehicle and you do not have insurance in place, you would be liable for the costs of repairs to both your campervan and the other vehicle. Another example is theft; if your campervan is stolen and you do not have it insured, you will not be able to claim back the cost of replacing your campervan.
There is a legal minimum level of insurance you must have in place if you are driving or operating any vehicle on UK roads, this is called Third Party Only (TPO). This protects the third party against costs accrued if they are in a collision with you and it is your fault. You can upgrade to more detailed cover in the form of Third Party, Fire and Theft, or Comprehensive cover. Comprehensive cover is suggested as this will protect you from a wider range of potential situations than the bare minimum.
What are the differences between motorhomes and campervans?
The difference between motorhome and campervans is the way the vehicle is used. For example, a motorhome may be larger and come with more of the mod-cons you might find at home. Whereas, a campervan is generally used more for exploration and transport. Campervans often don’t have the height or weight of a motorhome, meaning they are easier to maneuver, drive, and park.
A motorhome may be built on a larger van chassis and therefore supports more room, such as bigger bathroom and kitchen areas. The term motorhome has been used to describe many vehicles that double as sleeping/living areas, so it is important to be aware of the type of vehicle you own in insurance terms.
What Does Campervan Insurance Cover?
TPO is the bare minimum cover you need by law but this will only cover the cost of damage to the other vehicle. Third party, fire and theft (TPFT) will cover fire damage and theft of your vehicle, but the best way to get peace of mind is to choose a fully comprehensive policy.
If you opt for a comprehensive policy you can extend your insurance to cover a wide range of elements. For example, you may want to include breakdown cover as part of your policy, allowing you to receive roadside assistance and repairs without having to pay from your own pocket. Another feature you could choose to include is limited mileage cover. Many people only use their campervans during the summer and leave it in a garage or driveway over the winter months. With limited mileage cover you will pay a reduced premium as long as you keep your campervan’s mileage below an agreed number.
