Camper Insurance quotes

[craige101]

Hi all

Looking for camper van insurance for the first time and would like people's opinion on this

Adria flux £1500
Just camper £1300
Howden £1000
LV £550

How is LV so cheep the other companies I rung questioned this price

They said it would be insured as a VW camper and would have an agreed value of the full price of the van and conversion for the 1st year

Has anybody got insurance with LV for a fully converted camper van

Is this to good to be true

Thank

Seems to cheap compared to the others.

They must have entered some data incorrectly?

They used all my data from my existing policy on my car I have with LV

Then asked me question based on the conversion and mods

You’re getting the almost the same figures I get. I’ve been with LV a couple of years now (was Aviva before then) as none of the ‘specialists’ get close.

I did my data inputting online and ticked the options for van converted to camper and included the gas etc so one would assume it’s fully covered. I think the others are just a rip off. I know plenty on here swear by them so assume they get better prices than we do for some reason? I have max no claims (never had an at fault accident in 30 years). Still goes up every year but LV have always remained the cheapest of the known brands for me.

Only thing I am worried about is after the 2nd year it's based on market value and know if it gets stolen I will not see anywhere what I paid

But is that just the same for everyone on across the board

I would go with it, at least for the first year, you can get agreed valuation with other insurers after that if necessary.
Some people take the risk without AV at all.
I’ve got a multi policy with LV which my camper is on as well as our car….that came in at around £650 in January so that’s probably about right.

As Ricardo says just go for someone that offers AV at the next renewal, if that’s what you’re after.

That way you’ve saved a chunk of money this year you can put towards next years premium.

I’m a bit of a cynic and think they’ll try their best to get out of paying AV, or at very least make it a hassle. I know folk will tell me it’s all baked in, it’s a contract etc. but there are far too many articles demonstrating where this industry shys away from paying out or lands a customer with extra costs elsewhere.
When an uninsured driver drove into our parked van a long time ago (and wrote it off) I was offered market value, as per the policy, but showed them photographs, receipts, service history and lots of adverts for second hand similar vans and got a settlement I was actually very happy with.

Afternoon I've just a quote from Comfort so so cheap.
Compared to others and it is an Aviva policy . Under £500

Thanks for the post. I've just sorted a policy out with them. They need pictures but all good

Ditto. £606. New van replacement in year 1. Free euro travel and legal. No protected no claims but what they say is if you have an accident whatever NCD you arrive with you keep.

 

[GUMY]

Ditto. I was slightly sceptical that they don't offer protected NCB as such; instead they say their policy is discounted regardless of whether you have existing NCB or not, and that any NCB you have will be "kept on file" for future reference, if you move to another insurer. I asked them to confirm this in writing, which they were happy to do.

A Plan for my new crafter. Insured to £38,500 at a cost of £440 per year! Well impressed

 

[Trihard1]

Has anyone come across Gladiator insurance company?

Has anyone come across Gladiator insurance company?

I rang them for a quote, but I was not entertained.

Caravan Guard renewal quote £372 for my £40k T6 at 8000 UK miles inclusive of breakdown and acknowledging no tracker (S7 £40pa saving) and various mods.

The renewal quote is £40 increase on last year. Happy

I am with Adrian Flux but wont be using them again. I used them last year and wanted to put my Daughter and her husband on my policy and it came out massive cost for a short time. It was better to do a 3 week policy for them only on my van. Separate policy. We did that and the policy elapsed but served the purpose. When it came to renewing mine this year all my details and hers were all mixed up including addresses and personal details. Different info delivered to different addresses. I was passed back and forth to different operators. I did add them for the full term this time but I have had a nightmare with Adrian Flux.

 

[Raggerty]

About to enter into the same situation in March, currently with Aviva but think a separate breakdown recovery is a better option especially as needed to venture into France and Spain for some hols. Howvever, I’m just looking at a Caravelle and 2 drivers with no claims and no endorsements….but we shall see!
