What does campervan insurance cover?

campervan insurance covers recreational vehicles where the living space is separate from the cab or driving space. Similar to standard car insurance, there are three main categories of insurance as well as coverage specialised for campervans.

Comprehensive campervan insurance

This gives you the best protection available. It pays to repair or replace your campervan when it is damaged in an insured event. This can even cover accidents where you were at fault. It will also protect you against third party claims.

Third-party campervan insurance

This is the minimum level of cover you need for driving in the UK. It only covers damage or injury to other drivers and their vehicles. It won’t cover any personal damage you incur or damage to your own campervan.

Third-party fire and theft campervan insurance

This gives you the same protection as third-party, and also covers your campervan if it is stolen or damaged by fire.

Additional coverage options for campervan insurance

Lookout to see if your campervan policy also covers any of the following as standard:

Personal belongings cover
Awning cover
European cover
Breakdown cover

Generator cover
Legal protection
Windscreen cover

Do I need campervan insurance?

If you’ve got a campervan, you need to have insurance. Just like with any other road vehicle, campervans need a minimum of third party insurance to legally drive on UK roads. The only way to avoid insuring your campervan is if it is not being driven on public roads, or if it is officially declared off the road (SORN).

What is not covered by campervan insurance?

Exclusions will typically change from policy to policy but generally, campervan insurance won’t cover the following:

Using your campervan as a permanent residence.
Normal deterioration

Using your campervan for business
Theft if you’ve left your campervan open or left a window open

What is the best campervan insurance option?

The best campervan insurance option for you and your campervan will depend on how you use your vehicle:

Social, domestic and leisure use

For your social outings and holiday trips. This doesn’t cover driving to work or using your campervan to make money

Commuting

For driving from your house to your workplace.

Personal business use

For going to business meetings and events as well as getting to and from work.

How can I find cheap campervan insurance quotes?

You could save money on your campervan or RV insurance in a few different ways:

Pay annually

Choose to pay for your cover once a year instead of every month. Insurance companies often add interest to monthly payments.

Store your vehicle off the street

This could be in your driveway, garage, or a storage place approved by a campervan group.

Increase your voluntary excess

Opt for a higher voluntary excess – but make sure you can cover both the voluntary and required excess if you need to file a claim.

Increase the security

Boost your security by adding things like a steering lock, tracker, or ID kit.

Reduce your mileage

If you don’t use your campervan much, think about getting a policy with a mileage limit.

Sign up for a campervan owners’ group

Some insurers give discounts to members.
