RV Insurance Do you have an RV? If you do not yet have one but are considering getting one then there are certain things you need to know before you do. RVs, or recreational vehicles as they are otherwise known, are ideal for families looking to drive around the UK and stay at various caravan parks during the school holidays or even for couples just looking to get away, but they can cost an absolute fortune as far as insurance premiums are concerned. As they are indeed vehicles, RV insurance is vital if you want to get it on the road legally but if you have yet to learn about the product then now is the time because there are some facts that you need to be aware of before you take a policy out.
First of all, you absolutely do need a specialised RV insurance policy before you take your vehicle out onto the road. There are some websites out there that say you do not, that any motor home policy will do, but that is not the case. RV insurance differs from motor home insurance in that the design, build and components associated with the two vehicles are often distinctly different. As such, motor home policies may not be suitable for RVs in any way, shape or form... unless otherwise stated by the insurer itself. Even then you would need to check the documentation.
Now that the most important point is out of the way, let us tell you a little more about RV insurance. There are actually several policies that you can choose from in this particular niche because few RVS are made in the UK. As such, most are imported from America or Europe. With the former, there are specialist American RV policies available to you and with the latter you can choose left had drive cover. Of course, both RVs are left hand drive and that has to be a point you explicitly make to your insurer but most companies expect it anyway because the majority of these vehicles are imported. In addition, some RV insurance policies are not designed to cover the higher end of vehicles so you may have to look for a specialist provider. Such makes usually include Burstener, Roma, Hobby, Hymer, Winnebago and Lord Munsterland to name a few.
No matter what make or model your RV is, there are also certain elements of any RV insurance policy that you should look for. First of all, you should look for contents cover to ensure that your belongings, fixtures and fittings are covered no matter what happens. You should also ensure that you are covered if you choose to take your RV abroad as some policies may limit where you can go. In addition, if your RV has been modified, converted or you plan to convert it then you will need to check that you are covered in that instance too.
There is a lot to consider when you take out an RV insurance policy, especially if you have never taken out one before because knowing what to look for can be a little difficult. However, you will find that there is a policy out there for you that you can afford and can provide you with the peace of mind you need. |
