The short answer to the question “Do I need caravan insurance?” may very well be – yes you do, if you have a caravan.
If you own a caravan then the chances you may have spent a fair bit of money on it and it may represent quite an investment.
Even if you made your purchase some time ago, as a yardstick for your “Do I need caravan insurance” question, you may need to think about how much it would cost to replace your caravan rather than how much you think it may be worth these days
Of course, if you don’t use your caravan any more, you may be tempted to think that you don’t need to keep it insured.
So if you have a tourer, for example, the fact that you are not out and about on the roads with your caravan and that it is parked in your driveway will mean that risks from traffic accidents are much reduced.
However it could still be stolen, broken into or just vandalised.
Similar scenarios could also be put forward for static, park homes or motorhomes.
So, whether you are using it or not, your caravan still faces risks and without caravan insurance you would obviously be looking at meeting any related expenditure yourself.
Therefore, savings made by not taking out appropriate caravan insurance may vanish very quickly indeed.
No matter what type of caravan you have, buying caravan insurance need not be expensive and suitable policies can be easily found on specialist internet sites.
So, if you thought that the answer to the “Do I need caravan insurance” question was no, then you may want to take a couple of minutes to reconsider the above scenarios and how you would cope with them without insurance.
