Is there a website like go compare that allows you to compare motorhome insurance rather than ringing round?
 
Not that I am aware of Phil. I ended up with Comfort and am paying less than I do for the B. car

Not a website, but one of the motorhome mags (Somebody help me out with the name please) does an excellent comparison of all the top providers each year.

The now defunct Motorcaravan Magazine used to do this.

If you google "motorhome insurance" then all the standard comparison sites (gocompare, compare the market etc) appear. I haven't used any of them and don't know if they cover all the possibilities but presumably they will give you a reasonable spread.
 
Hi, WhichMotorhome is the magazine & the last full insurance comparison revue that I have is March 2010.

I understand that one revue is produced each year around the same time.

thanks

maybe we should have a thread to find out which insurance companies people use a see what their opinions are to give people a guide.

what a great idea, it could, and probably will,
save quite few quid for many members.
Maybe you should consider putting it in a
"members only" category
After all, If people could save ££££s
by reading the thread
then why not re-direct £15 of their savings to
"Wildcamping"
 
It might sound good in theory but in practice it is difficult to see how it would work. Everybody has different needs and circumstances - age, length of driving experience, accident record, size of engine, size of van, age of van, extent of use, country of use, location of storage, etc etc. That is why the comparison sites ask you so many questions. And the information they have is constantly being updated; ours would not be. It is clear from previous threads that a company which is regarded as the bees knees by one poster wouldn't be touched with a barge pole by the next. For what its worth, I use Safeguard and have found it to be the cheapest and best for my needs and circumstances (just over £300 currently for a five year old 3.5 tonne van and with 12 months European cover, including breakdown recovery)
 
I still think its a good idea
as many people are new to motorhomes
and don't know where to start looking for Insurance.
a thread like this could, at least, give them the names of some
insurance companies recomended by members
so they could do their own "go compare"
ps. I am also with safeguard, which I find, suits my needs best!

Fair enough, but if all you want is the names of companies that are used by members then that information is already in this forum - we don't need another thread.
 
Compare Insurance

I've just renewed my MH insurance. There doesn't seem to be a comparison web site for MH's, so after ringing round I came up with the following:-
SAGA - £947.40
Adrian Flux - £895.64
Safe Guard - £510.92
Comfort - £371.07
SureTerm - £ 271.46

OK so I nearly wrote off my company car in 2008 but these were all for the same cover. Guess who got my business!

I am new to owning a motorhome and found the insurance business a minefield. One major problem I had was the need for business use due to being self-employed in a small way and using my wendy-house on wheels as accommodation on site - most didn't want to know, including Safeguard - they told me nobody ever uses a motorhome for business use because it is only a leisure vehicle, and they quoted me £400 anyway!
In the end I went with NFU Mutual who have insured my car for years: they added the van on to my existing car policy: only increased the premium by about £150, and don't have a problem with including business use. They seem to be a sensible company and very easy to deal with. The only problem for some people will be they don't seem to like some postcode areas that are attached to cities, mainly because they were originally only for the National Farmers Union (we are not farmers but we do wear muddy wellies!)

I use to be with Safeguard, but with an older Campervan their prices went up. I am now with Caravanwise not the cheapest but when my van was stolen - and recovered some 6 weeks later they were actually paying me out! They paid with no question everything that I had claimed - even when I found some of the items I thought were in the van, I told them to cancel the claim on these items, but they still paid me.

The standard of service I received from them gave me comfort that I wouldnt have hassle at any time in the future, if I were to be unlucky again.

So I pay that bit more for peace of mind.

We Insure all our vehicles with them a 4x4 a Classic Car , a MG ZR and the motorhome .Great prices and cover .

i am with the same company my premium last year was only 195 quid fully comp .its nice to know that they are good with any claims you may have as some companies are somewhat dubious.
 
I was with Scenic (and Axa underwritten) last year @£175 and 5000mls max ( Hymer S560 1992), this year they wanted £245, I managed to get them down to £193.
Adrian Flux do a special deal for Islanders who have a car with them so this year I have gone with them @£183 fully comp, that is still restricted mileage and the van in storage during the bad months (all 6 of them) and me with 4 speeding points.

They probably know the Missus does all the driving from the passenger seat though
 
Comfort European cover is for a full year as standard other insurers restrict it to 30 days, am I right?

Correct for Euro Breakdown (RAC Commercial if over 3500kg). Six months (186) limit in any one country though on Full-Timing cover but not need to return to UK.
