Insurance Guide | Protect Your Adventure
Having good insurance for your motorhome or campervan is crucial for protecting both your vehicle and your peace of mind. Unlike standard vehicles, motorhomes serve as both transportation and living space, making them a significant financial and personal investment.
Quality insurance provides coverage for a wide range of risks, including accidents, theft, fire, and even damage while parked or in storage. It can also cover personal belongings, emergency accommodation, and liability in case of injury to others.
Without comprehensive coverage, an unexpected event could result in costly repairs, legal fees, or even the loss of your motorhome. Adequate insurance ensures you're protected no matter where your adventure takes you, allowing you to enjoy the journey without worrying about potential setbacks.
Before phoning for insurance quotes, ensure you have the basic information to hand such as registration details for the vehicle and knowledge of any security devices fitted. Be aware that if you declare an alarm has been fitted to your motorhome, but then it is not turned on for any reason, you will invalidate your insurance cover.
Below is a list of some insurance partners that offer motorhome, campervan and caravan insurance policies.

It's our company's view that in Scotland, a tracker can be a more effective investment in ensuring the safety of your motorhome. Installing a tracker and additional security systems such as a wheel clamp or steering lock can significantly reduce your motorhome insurance costs.
These measures not only deter theft but also demonstrate to insurers that your vehicle is better protected, lowering the risk of a claim. Many insurance providers offer discounts for motorhomes equipped with these devices, as they enhance security and increase the chances of recovery if the vehicle is stolen. Investing in these safety features can save you money in the long run while providing added peace of mind for your travels.
