Caravan Lovers Need Not Concern Themselves With Volcanoes
Caravan owners everywhere are breathing a somewhat smug sigh of relief as they, unlike plane-hopping holiday makers, are not having to frantically check their insurance documents to see if they are covered for disruption caused by ash from a far away volcano.
What a great feeling it was, pulling my caravan home beneath planeless skies not even having to think about whether my insurance covered far-off eruptions. As a breed, it feels like caravan lovers all over the UK have been vindicated. Next time someone comments that caravan pulling cars are slow and getting in the way, remind them that during the Easter 2010 debacle, we could get from almost anywhere in Europe, to almost anywhere else in Europe faster than the average plane.
In addition, those conditions that some refer to as tight and claustrophobic in caravans were positively opulent by comparison to hotel lobbies, airport floors and cramped coaches.
Of course, between those of us who understand the beauty behind caravan holidays this is all irrelevant. We each like doing our own things in our own leisure time, and how boring would the world be if we all liked the same things? However, the reason for this little gloat is that people who, as a rule, don’t do caravans, tend to make fun of those that do, and we rarely, if ever reciprocate.
So… given that we didn’t have quite the same concerns this Easter that many other holiday makers had, what were we thinking about? I’d like to hear some good stories. I wasn’t thinking about whether my insurance covered me for all those untold additional costs that the plane brigade were worried about, but I did have some additional costs to think about. And they were costs that I couldn’t insure against too.
I took the a copy of Caravan Magazine with me on my holiday because we were thinking about buying a new one, and so had intended to browse over potential new purchases, but I ended up becoming engrossed in the insurance survey. It seems that because I never went to a broker to get my caravan insurance, I over paid for it – by a considerable amount. So if you’re in need of cheap caravan insurance it is well worth shopping around because there were lots of price comparisons in Caravan Magazine, some of which were quite surprising and are well worth a look into.
If you are looking to take out , but want to make sure you get the best deal, you should arrange it through Coversure. They are an insurance broker with long-standing relationships with providers and can always secure a great deal on static or touring caravan insurance.
