How Much Insurance ?

+1 for Comfort Insurance, I have purchased the Breakdown Cover as an add-on for £73....

An increase of £8 from last year.

An update, to my original post, for anybody interested.  I went online to comare.com and entered my details.  Interestingly I received a quote for nearly £300 cheaper with guess who ?  The Caravan and Motorhome Club !  I rang CAMC yet again and it seems that they use 3 different insurers but couldn't explain why they hadn't offered me the cheapest one but did confirm that the terms and conditions of the policies were identical.

Common practice Bill. Always best to shop around and not accept the first quote. 

Is that the one you chose then, bill, or pick a cheaper insurer, and if so which one?

I did choose the second option as it was very competitive on my details although not necessarily the absolute cheapest.  The shame is that it doesn't always pay to be loyal to just one company which I was trying to do !.

Its odd but over a 20 year period I have sometimes been insured with CAMC but mostly with Comfort Insurance. For me CAMC are usually uncompetitive but individual circumstances vary.

When I started I got an introductory premium reduction a sort of non claims bonus from Comfort. . Have a good look at the whole market CAMC, Safeguard, Comfort etc possibly LV and SAGA if appropriate. 

You should be able to find something that suits. When comparing look at terms and conditions carefully, e.g. premiums, vehicle new for old if a new van, security requirements, alarm. tracker etc. 

I have just today had the lovely task of shopping around for insurance for a new campervan we pick up tomorrow. I have used CAMH and Adrian Flux in the past for my Buccaneer but thought I would search the forums on here and also on VWT6.1 forums too. 

Comfort consistently came out as being the most highly praised Insurer especially if you need to claim.

I first got a quote for CAMH which came to £900. Comfort quoted £349, they dont complicate things by offering add ons, apart from breakdown cover. They don't place you on auto renewal by default and they don't hike up prices on renewal. They have a fixed excess of £200 and contents of personal items cover is £5000. This does not include high value items which should be covered under your household insurance. this is true as I remember this dealing with my sons Uni flat contents. Travel to Europe is covered as standard (within time limits).

This simplification means they can keep the costs down and you don't have to waste your time reading through all the tedious fluctuations each policy is offering. Im all for reading the small print but the time taken to sift through policies in order to work out comparatives is time needed elsewhere.

Will give them a go and see. 

Just had a quote from the other club for caravan insurance .... it was even more than the renewal quote from this club by nearly £150 ..... and I thought the quote from is club was high. Ironically I've just taken house & contents insurance for less!

Seems like you can only get a quote from Comfort online for some kind of motorhome in spite of their web page saying they also insure caravans  🤷‍♂️

Try Adrian Flux Insurance half the price for my renewal

We've just recently been through the process of renewing MH cover. 

CAMC, no way far to expensive

Saga, we were with them on AA 3 year fixed deal, new quote up by 117%

Comfort was £660 through LV

Adrian flux was around the same

Phoned LV direct to get a quote as they do multi car (my car was also due) got a good quote for the MH but car was  high so no multi deal. However their quote for MH alone was half what Comfort had quoted us for the same vehicle. LV direct has got the business.
