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.

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?
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.
