subject: Don't Let Motorhome Insurance Jargon Scare You [print this page] People well versed in everything motor-home understand the type of cover needed to protect their investment and typically never have a problem when it comes up for renewal every year.
However, people new to the world of motor-home taking out their very first cover might find it a bit overwhelming dealing with all the industry jargon thrown at them by service providers.
Everyone new to examining motorhome insurance providers needs to familiarise themselves with cover concepts and terms. One of the best ways to do this is online.
Many service provider websites contain glossary sections helping users understand insurance terms as well as the varieties of different types of cover available. A little self education will enable new motorhome owners to gain a better understanding that will prepare for making good comparisons of the many offers coming your way. Take notes when surfing from site to site so you can understand the various options that exist for saving you money. With a little bit of good information, you can negotiate a better cover deal.
Be prepared to answer several questions that will appear on the websites you visit that are posed to arrive at the best rate possible for your personal situation. So you can reduce your time - and frustration level - it is highly recommended that you have answers ready when surfing sites. Typical questions you will encounter will include:
1. What period of time will you make use of the motorhome?
2. Will it be used frequently including driving it through traffic to and from work?
3. Are you a member of any motorhome club?
Number two above is important because motor-home insurance providers want to determine the amount of mileage covered, including ascertaining potential risks presented driving in heavy traffic going to and from work every day.
Your premium quoted will be quite different and more than likely lower, if your motorhome is used for recreational purposes only. The third question is important since often membership in a motor-home club can result in reduced premiums from sponsoring insurance providers.
When surfing for information about insurance cover, you will find a few options:
Third party only - Is an option for owners of a well used motor-home or ones bought used. It is a much cheaper cover providing basic protection for both the vehicle and a third party.
Full Comprehensive - Is cover that encompasses almost all the risks involved owning and operating a motorhome. If you have bought a new motorhome, it is recommended you select this type of insurance. It includes protection against weather damage, theft, vandalism, fire and more. This insurance also covers personal belongings carried.
You can also elect to accept cover for European travel if you want or not if you never plan leaving the UK. Furthermore, you can usually custom design cover when you use the vehicle for only part of the year and secure it safely during winter months when you can reduce cover for damage from fire and theft only. Remember to read over all the words in your motorhome insurance cover before you sign on the dotted line.
