I'm interested to find out what people do (insurance wise) when being away from their home for an extended period of time.

I am hiring a motorhome for 32 days in July / Aug. for a trip from Cairns to Melbourne. I have been quoted $1440 for "Liability Reduction Option" which seems exorbitant?? Is there a way I can avoid / reduce costs involved in having adequate insurance cover for our trip please? Thanks for any help.
