Are you a caravan owner?

What type of cover do I need?

Whilst it is not a legal requirement to have caravan insurance, it is important to consider in order to ensure your caravan is adequately covered in a number of different circumstances. There are two main types of caravan cover, touring caravan insurance or static caravan insurance. A standard caravan insurance policy will protect both types of caravan against fire, theft and damage. Touring caravan insurance will also cover you for towing your caravan throughout Ireland for a year. For those who like to travel abroad, the basic policy will usually cover them for up to a period of 90 days. Our partner brokers cover all touring and static makes and models to include: Bailey; Compass; Abbey; Hobby; Sterling; Swift; ABI; Willerby and many more.

What is covered?

There are two main cover options for touring and static caravans. Firstly, New for old, if your caravan is damaged beyond repair or stolen, the policy will pay out the equivalent cost of the brand new caravan provided the sum insured reflects that value. Market value cover will pay out the market rate for a caravan of similar age and condition at the time of damage or when it is stolen. Breakdown cover for your touring van and contents cover are typical optional extras.

How much does caravan insurance cost?

The cost of caravan insurance will vary greatly depending on the type of policy you choose to meet your individual needs. It can vary hugely from person to person due to a number of factors that are taken into consideration to calculate premiums, such as: the contents in your caravan; the length of cover you choose; the excess amount on your policy; where your caravan is parked; the make and model; its age and claim history; and its security features. You could get cover from as little as €150 per annum.

How do I make caravan insurance cheaper?

Caravan insurance can be expensive but there are ways to try and reduce the cost. You may be eligible to get a discount on your caravan insurance if you have had no previous claims and have built up a no claims bonus. If your caravan has any added security features such as an alarm this can also reduce the price. Keeping your caravan on a secure site, or locked in a garage will also help. You could also get a discount if you are a member of a caravan club. It is also important to shop around and compare prices with Paddy Compare.
