subject: Getting The Right Static Caravan Insurance [print this page] You might think that your standard insurance will cover your caravan, but that assumption is wrong. You need specific caravan cover for your caravan. To get the proper cover, you will need to do your homework first. You need to decide what you want your policy to include; for that, you will need to determine how you use your caravan.
For example, your cover is going to be different if you only use your caravan during the summer holidays for road trips versus if you spend a lot of time in your caravan and/or even live in it. You will want to cover the contents of your caravan in addition to typical "insurance" cover needs like breakdowns, as would be true of any vehicle.
You will also want to protect against damage that may occur when you are not in your caravan, especially if you store it for long periods of time. Why is that so? Because you may not think you need caravan cover during those times when you do not use your caravan and only store it, but you actually need cover year-round, even if you do not use your caravan for part of that time. For example, vandalism, theft and weather-related damage, as well as damage done to underground services, will need to be included in caravan cover. Incidental damages like burst pipes also need to be taken into consideration and this is something you will want your insurance policy to include, too.
How do you get proper static caravan cover?
In the old days, it was a tough go to compare different policies in regard to caravan cover. However, these days, you can go online and research different companies and policies to get the best cover for your particular situation. When you first begin your research, decide what type of policy you want and what type of cover you will need. Once you have got these things narrowed down, you can begin to do a direct comparison between companies to figure out which one is best for you.
One of the first things you will need to do is to simply take a look at the top search results of the companies that come up when you type "static caravan" and "insurance" into your favourite search engine. It's a good bet that especially if you use Google, for example, the first four or five companies in your results are going to be good companies that have satisfied customers. This is not always true, of course, but usually, top page rankings mean that these companies get a lot of traffic and have a good reputation; that means they have a lot of customers and that those customers are satisfied.
When you have got four or five insurance companies picked out, make sure you research each one to determine that they do indeed have good customer service policies, that their claims process is easy to follow and that customers do indeed get taken care of in the event they have difficulties. Then, research each company's static caravan insurance policy offerings, to determine the best for you in terms of price and actual cover.
It's not hard to find quality static caravan insurance cover; you just have to know how to do your homework and where to look.
