There are many different types of caravan and camping insurance out there when you begin to look for your policy. To begin with you would have to make the choice of whether you needed touring or static caravan insurance as the policies would pay out under different circumstance and for different things. When you begin to look around you will see that the cost of the premiums varies and this can be quite a great deal, however so could the benefits that you get in the insurance.
For instance if plan on travelling outside of the UK then you would need European cover if you want to spend your days taking in what Europe has to offer. Travel without this insurance and it could end up costing you many hundreds if not thousands of pounds to have your caravan towed and repaired. Plus you would have to payout costs for alternative accommodation if you do not have a policy behind you to fall back onto.
Caravan and camping insurance can also differ in what the insurance provider would pay out in the event that you had belongings stolen or destroyed. Some providers will offer to replace items as new for old but others could take wear and tear into account. If you are inuring a static caravan then you would need to check if the insurance company would payout for fencing, decking or a patio around your caravan if that was to be destroyed. With some providers you could claim up to so much on the insurance but others limit this to just the shell and contents of your caravan.
