Posted on 02/11/2019 12:15 by SurferTaking all the above into consideration and the points raised by Easy T as we are within the first 14 days we have decided to cancel the Caravan Cover and go with Towergate who have a track record in caravan insurance. They were slightly more than the CMC, but at least we now have peace of mind and can sleep easy.
TBH I think others may have a rethink about CMC Caravan Cover which seems on the face of it very inadequate.

Posted on 02/11/2019 12:17 byI also think we are in agreement but there seem to be some confusion between the finance and insurance governing bodies. Very, very briefly:
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is an independent financial regulator dealing broadly with financial irregularities in all markets.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) settles individual disputes between consumers and businesses that provide financial services, such as banking and insurance.
In any event in my opinion anyone who enters into a Caravan Cover agreement with CC Ltd is being rather foolish and taking an unnecessary risk with the insurance of their pride and joy, and money.

Posted on 02/11/2019 12:21 byHave I missed something? I thought the "cover" did not extend to third party claims.
Incidentally ET a good thread for the w/e, but I do wonder how long it will last after 0800 hrs Monday .

Liability cover – up to £5,000,000 caravan liability cover is automatically included
helping protect you against claims made against you.
Very important when your caravan runs away on site and kills somebody!
In case Surfer does not return to this tread he said that the reason towergate was dearer was due to Insurance Tax of 12%

Just drilled down a bit deeper into Cover page. It clearly states that Caravan Cover is not an Insurance Contract (right hand side of page, under questions asked)
Someone taking out Insurance has to ask what benefit is the Cover v an Insurance Contract from elsewhere? Down to individual choice.
