Caravan insurance


This. has been done many times before on the forum ,but. I find with caravan insurance it changes from year to year has anyone had a good quote for insurance lately this is the list Iam going to call.theres three months of the year we don't travel so That might help if nominated...

cil,Nrma,QBE,ammi,gio,Coles 

We find it pays to phone around with insurance it saves heaps,as far as one is better then the other I doubt it ,there's probably three big companies that own the lot from what I heard .

Maybe throw YOUI in there. I'd do online quotes as they are quicker plus sometimes they give an online discount.

Good Luck

Hi Ron

we tried most of those companies as newbies and found QBE the cheapest by about 300 dollars...

i have to say we're not hugely impressed by the customer service and haven't needed to make a claim but the price was so much cheaper than the rest for our little new age road owl.

keep shopping around though And good luck.

Keith

I would suggest to give CIL a try. Also be wary of Coles & Woolworths insurance. Yes they may be cheap but you only have to Google them and read the problems that people have with them.
I also wonder where the insurance companies have their call centres. I know that CIL & Youi have their call centres in Australia. At least you can understand the person on the other end of the line and they do know where places are in Australia.

I got a good deal with RACV. CIL always seems to be the dearest.

I always get a few quotes at renewal time and almost ALWAYS go with a new insurer.
This time around RACV won the day.

Have not taken out insurance on van as yet but used QBE for tug and if you nominate some month not used you get a discount.

Thanks for your replies we found CIL hit hard as well ,with youi on talk back radio there have been some bad reports as far as paying up is concerned,but QBE sounds like it's worth a go ..

 Re not paying when travelling - does that mean the van is not insured when not travelling?

 

Regards

 I believe it is covered, as long as it is not being used while sitting at home, ie for guests during a visit etc. They call it lay up cover.

That's interesting, I used to have lay-up cover for my boat which was only used for about 6 months of the year and insured for storage only for rest of year. Didn't know it was available for vans so I'm going to look into it at renewal time.
