Warning - check your CAMC insurance

It won't be an issue for us. We are switching to a MH in a few weeks. When I got a quote from the CC, which took a couple of days as it was refused online, the figure was close to £1200, with a very large excess. We will be going with another firm providing comparable cover plus European breakdown / recovery for less than half the price.

the figure was close to £1200

 They can't be serious!  Do they want to sell policies?? 

It does not  seem so ET. Even then they said there was only one underwriter that would consider me. The rest refused. Although we have had no issues getting reasonable insurance figures on our cars and caravan, from various suppliers. That figure required an alarm and tracker, which we will have.

Have you tried NFU, Steve? They insured our MH with no problems and no security devices required for a fraction of the price you were quoted. There’s no breakdown cover though, neither UK nor overseas.

Thanks TW. I may give them a go, although considering it includes European breakdown / recovery the quote I have from Comfort looks fairly good.

I don't know if the NFU treat motorhomes differently with it being a motor vehicle in its own right but when I tried to insure our caravan with them, they could only do so if you had house insurance with them.  It's treated as an 'add on' to the house insurance, apparently. 

Their quote for house insurance was extortionate compared to our present insurers (LV) so they didn't get the business, despite the fact they insure both our cars.

The 4,000 instead of 40,00 was clearly an inputting error and would not have prevented a claim as the premium was based on the higher figure, although I cannot see why the dates would be wrong. It does show that you should check these things carefully with any insurer as  details can be wrong.

The problems with the description seems odd and was to have been handled badly though, and an apology does seem to be due.

I have just placed my caravan insurance for next year with "The Friendly Club" because of the strangely much lower premium.

Caravan 5c's insurance is very different from Motorhome insurance....Car and Motorhome insurance is obtained from the wider Insurance market by the CMC broker.  5 c's i think is still 'in house' with the Club ?   They 'Should' be a cheap quote...it is  a Club after all, isnt it ?

Not very good is it Devitts ?  must try harder.

Read the section covering Comforts No Claims Bonus I have heard of the occasional problem if you which to change to another insurer in the future.
