    Motorhome European insurance cover
     

    Our European motorhome insurance option gives you comprehensive cover to visit the countries listed in the table below.

    The endorsement section of your policy schedule shows if European insurance and / or European breakdown options are in force.

    Although this cover option provides 270 days (9 months) of European travel within each policy year, EU / Schengen immigration law restricts UK travellers to spending no more than 90 days in EU Countries within a 180 day period. Longer stays would require a visa or permit. See more information in our European travel blog.

    Green Cards

    To visit certain countries you may require a Green Card, which proves you have the minimum legal requirements for third party liability insurance.

    We can issue a Green Card on request by phoning our contact centre. Please contact us in good time with details of the countries you are travelling to and the dates you will be in each country.

What customers think of our claims service

We haven’t had to make a claim for many years and this was totally straightforward. You dealt directly with the workshop and must have approved the repair more or less immediately as I was asked to collect the van within 7 days. Brilliant service. Thank you

Our guide to motorhome insurance

How much does motorhome insurance cost?

The cost of motorhome insurance depends on many factors. These include your driving and claims history. They also include your motorhome’s value and age. Other factors include where you store it and how many miles you drive each year.

Security and safety features can also affect the cost. The level of cover you choose matters too.

Do I need motorhome insurance by law?

Yes, Motorhome insurance is a legal requirement, just like car insurance. However, the cover you need may differ because you use your motorhome in different ways. It also depends on the equipment and facilities it has.

What are the key things to look for when choosing a policy?

  • Only pay for the cover you need, we let you choose whether to include European cover, and calculate premiums based on your annual mileage – so if you don't go abroad, or only drive a few thousand miles a year, you can make sure you're only paying for the insurance cover you need.
  • Make sure you get all the insurance discounts you deserve. Security devices such as Pro-Active tracking devices, alarm systems, and immobilisers, will earn you big insurance discounts with us. Simple steps such as storage behind 24 hour locked gates, and/or fitting a reversing camera, will also drive down your premium.
    Read our motorhome security guide, to learn what you can do to protect your motorhome.
  • UK motorhome breakdown cover is automatically included with our policy, and European insurance (EU Cover) and breakdown cover is available as an optional extra. Some breakdown services have size or weight restrictions – Our breakdown cover doesn't have any limits on the size or weight of the vehicle, and so is suitable for different types of motorhome, large or small.
  • 'New for old' cover is offered on motorhomes up to 2 years old (subject to you owning it from new). This means that if the motorhome is stolen or damaged beyond economic repair, you'll be given a brand new motorhome of the same or nearest equivalent model. 'Market value' cover means that you'll be given a cash sum which represents the lost motorhome's current 'market value' in such a total loss situation.
  • We recommend that you select your insurance cover carefully and with a reputable insurer. Intact Insurance, one of the world’s leading insurers, underwrites our motorhome policy.

What is the difference between a motorhome and campervan?

People often use “motorhome” and “campervan” as if they mean the same thing. But there are some clear differences. In general, a motorhome is larger overall.

Manufacturers usually supply the base vehicles with a front-end cab and only a chassis at the rear. A motorhome converter will then custom-build the living area on that chassis. They will likely add a shell that extends over the cab roof.

You’ll usually get more living space in a motorhome. It may include a full washroom and a fully equipped kitchen. You could also have a distinct sleeping space. You may notice many motorhomes described as coachbuilt models.

From the outside, campervans look much like the vans they use as their base.

Converters fit out the rear with extra windows and seating areas.

They also add basic cooking facilities and sometimes an elevating roof. They often have a compact size, so people can use them as everyday vehicles.

No claim discount (NCD)

×

You can transfer your NCD (sometimes referred to as No Claims bonus) from the previous insurer of your motorhome, car or other insured vehicle.

If you don't have any discount to transfer, you may still qualify for a large introductory discount if you have been insured and claim free on your private car, a company car, or a named driver on your partner's policy.

We can protect your NCD if you have 5 years or more NCD earned on another motor vehicle policy which is available for transfer to your new Caravan Guard policy. To qualify you must not have made a motor insurance claim within the last 12 months.

If you do protect your NCD the overall discount you receive will reduce slightly.

Physical security discount

×

Get 5% for a steering wheel lock or 2.5% off for other devices including Clutch Claw, a wheel clamp, a security chain, extra door locks, removable steering wheel or handbrake lock. Please call to get this discount applied to your quote.

Motorhome club or magazine reader discount

×

You will qualify for an discount if you are a member of any motorhome or caravan club (national, regional or owners' club).

You will also qualify if you are a reader of a related magazine, a member of an online related forum or you are a customer of one of our dealer partners.

Secure storage discount

×

Security measures at your home can result in a saving on your insurance. For example, fitting a padlock to gates or installing a security post at home, storing in a locked outbuilding at your home.

Previous experience discount

×

In addition to any NCD, you may qualify for a further 10.5% discount if you have any previous experience of driving a similar sized vehicle. This along with other discounts may help to provide a cheap motorhome insurance premium.

Low mileage discount

×

If your motor home isn't on the road frequently, you are regarded as a lower insurance risk. So if your mileage is less than 5,000 miles a year, you will benefit from reduced premiums.

Cat 1 Alarm systems

×

CAT 1 alarms generate a sound when any of the doors on a recreational vehicle – including the boot and bonnet – are opened. The alarm can be set using either a traditional key fob, PIN code or touch key. In order for the alarm to work and detect suspicious activity, the passenger compartment in the vehicle must have interior movement monitoring. The siren on the alarm must also have its own integral power supply with a coded communication to the alarm electronic control unit. The alarm's accompanying immobiliser also helps to alert the vehicle's owner of any movement within the motorhome and must be engaged within 60 seconds of the ignition being switched off. When installed, CAT 1 alarms will sound within 300 seconds of a break-in occurring. If you know the name of your alarm system you can check if it has Thatcham's Category 1 approval at

www.thatcham.org

Discount for tracking devices

×

Such devices can help locate your stolen motorhome by guiding police to its position using GPS technology. Not all tracking devices qualify for our discount.

Tyron wheel safety bands

×

Tyron wheel safety bands greatly reduce the risk of accident through loss of control after tyre deflation by helping to keep the tyre in place following punctures, blow-outs and under inflation.

Discount for Tyre pressure monitoring

×

Incorrectly inflated tyres can affect the way a motorhome drives and may lead to a serious accident. That's why we offer an discount for tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) fitted to tyres. TPMS systems work by placing sensors either on the tyre valves or inside the wheels. These sensors continuously measure the pressure and temperature of the tyres and transmit information wirelessly to a dashboard mounted monitor and sound an alarm if there's any abnormality. Popular makes include TyrePal or Snooper's Tyre Pilot.

Discount for tyre sealant

×

We offer a discount for pre-puncture tyre sealant or slime, which is a proactive defence against tyre punctures and can help prevent an accident. It's injected through the tyre valves and coats the inside of the tyres. In the event of a puncture, and when the penetrating object is removed, a small amount of tyre sealant is squeezed through the puncture hole to seal the tyre. We offer this discount for the likes of Phantom Tyre Protector and Ultra Seal. Please note the discount does not apply for post-puncture tyre sealant kits which are only used to temporarily repair tyres following a puncture.
