You may not realize it, but did you know that premium differences in caravan insurance policies are significant? This also applies to the differences in coverage. Is your caravan already insured and want to know if you are insured properly and cheaply? Compare caravan insurance and marvel at the savings and ample coverage with some insurers.

Often owners don't find out until damage occurs that their caravan is not properly insured. Unfortunately, that's too late. You would be wise to take action before you have damage. We are happy to explain the differences between insurance policies.

What coverage does your caravan insurance offer?

A caravan insurance offers standard coverage against fire and theft. Often the insurer will also pay out for storm damage. Hail damage is a completely different story. The weather is becoming more and more severe. That means more frequent storms and heavy rainfall. Many caravan owners are convinced that their caravan insurance will also cover them for hail damage. This may indeed be the case, but with more and more insurers this is optional. The damage caused by hailstorms can run into thousands of euros. It is therefore advisable to choose a good caravan insurance.

  • Standard coverage
  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Extra comprehensive cover

We do this to simplify the choice. Under the "info" button you will find more information about the coverage in the policy. This way you can select the cheapest caravan insurance with the coverage that best suits your caravan. Obviously you want the widest possible coverage, but the premium should be reasonable.

Hail damage co-insurance and the amount of the deductible

These are important points where caravan insurance policies differ. That is why we give these differences a prominent place in the comparison in addition to the premiums. The inclusion or exclusion of hail damage insurance makes a very big difference. This also applies to the amount of the deductible. You are better off paying €10 per year more for caravan insurance without a deductible than paying €150 in risk in the event of damage. In practice, the cheapest insurers often offer proportionately the best coverage.

Separate green card for a trailer

Are you going abroad with a trailer or caravan? You may have to apply for a second green card for your trailer or caravan.

Are you going to Germany, Poland or Spain with a trailer or caravan? Then you need a second green card if your trailer or caravan is heavier than 750 kg.

What does the new and daily value cover include?

If you cause damage to others with your caravan, this is covered by your third-party vehicle insurance.

For new caravans (up to about 5 years old) you can take out caravan insurance with new value coverage, this can be seen as the All-risk insurance for caravans. For caravans between about 5-15 years old, you can take out a daily value coverage. In such a case you are insured up to the amount your caravan is worth at that time.
