Are You Legally Required To Have Caravan Insurance?

We have just purchased a caravan and want to go away in it for the weekend but have been told about getting insurance for it, we didnt realise there was such a thing and were wondering if this is a legal requirement.


Answer: If you are based in the uk the answer is probably no you don't have to legally have specific insurance for it.
If you look at your car insurance it will probably say you are covered to tow a trailer. that means you would be covered at least third party if anything happened and your trailer hit another vehicle for example.

Caravan Insurance Is This A Must?

Do I need to buy it to tow the caravan? or is it just for theft. Do I have to tell my motor car insurance company I'm going to tow a caravan?


Answer: Normally your car insurance covers you for third party liability and theft if stolen with the car, since it is all part of the "vehicle"
but its worth checking your policy.
Also depending on when you passed your test you might not have the correct licence for towing a caravan or trailer.
As for insurance for the caravan, personally I would not bother just keep a wheel-clamp on it, don't leave anything valuable in it, and always keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket in it., but this would depend on the value of your caravan :-)

Looking For The Best Caravan Insurance Any Ideas?



Answer: Like any insurance you should...

1. Know what cover you need including all options so you can compare like with like
2. Compare as many policies and providers as possible
3. Know what you're buying - don't just buy on price

As caravan insurance isn't very well represented on price comparison sites, you might have to do some of the leg work yourself. Or you could use a broker like swinton or one local to you. For an idea on the most popular providers try these directories...
