Motorhome Insurance Explained

For the travel enthusiast, buying a motorhome is an excitement and the promise of many thrilling road-trips. Before you take out your prized possession on the road, make sure a comprehensive but reasonably quoted insurance policy is in order. Motorhome insurance does not cost very much, if thought out carefully, in accordance with your needs.

If the motorhome is an older model or is not new, a basic insurance cover, which gives third party insurance, can be sufficient. If you have bought a new or expensive model, full-cover insurance will suit your needs best. Needless to say, the premium you will have to pay will be higher than its basic counterpart. This kind of insurance will cover not only third party damage but will also insure your own vehicle in the best possible way, if the worst happens.

A full cover motorhome insurance policy may cover some or all of the following. Chosen factors can be included or excluded as per the owner's prerogative and the insurer's advice.

Most policies would cover electronic equipment fitted in the vehicle, like television, computer, navigational instruments and so on. This cover is, however, limited if equipment was fitted after the vehicle was bought.

Alternative vehicles or accommodation are provided in case of an accident. The repairs can take some time and this ensures that you and your family will not be inconvenienced.
An insurance policy provides cover when you travel to foreign countries, too.

Many insurance policies also provide cover for personal belongings, though this amount is usually restricted to a certain sum. It is, thus, wise to travel light and avoid carrying expensive equipment or personal belongings like jewellery when travelling.

Another factor, which is extremely crucial for owners of new and expensive models - is replacement of vehicle. Some insurance policies cover replacement of the motorhome in case of an accident, when repairs cannot be possible or are too expensive - so much so that a replacement is actually cheaper option. This is taken into account if the vehicle owned is not more than a year old and has only one owner.

Also, non-payment clauses of Motorhome Insurance policies are important for owners to understand and their implications weighed. The insurer will not pay if the motorhome is stolen or damaged due to keys left in ignition or the doors or windows not locked properly. This is considered the responsibility of the owner, and no claim made in this situation is payable. Similarly, if security systems have not been set or are faulty, the insurer will not pay in case of theft. Insurance policies also, as a rule, do not cover the replacement of keys if lost or if theft or damage is incurred due to loss of keys.

The best way to choose the right policy is to look at two or three quotes from different companies to compare costs. Cost-cutting that can compromise your safety is not wise; it is also prudent to look at options that can save you the most on premium - a mix of both and you can save up for your dream holiday!
