I am with Shield but have never had to claim so dont know if they are ok or not, the bumf they send seems ok. The only draw back is that they use a another company Premier if you want to pay by installments. Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

Caravan Club too but it is members only so if you never use any other of the CC sites or facilities it may not be very competitive after the membership fee is factored in.

I claimed for a cracked window (my fault which I admitted on the claim form) which I fully expected to be rejected. Replacement and dealer fitting approved without a hesitation. As long as I am a member I will take their insurance.

I took out a new for old policy with caravan guard. I was going to use the caravan club as they come recommended but they were almost double the cost for the same policy.

I did crash my van and made a claim, they said I can have it repaired wherever I want so it went back to the place I bought it from and had a 2k repair. Caravan guard were simple to deal with, most dealings done by online chat with them, they respond in seconds.

I have just renewed and the price stayed the same even after an own fault claim.

So I would highly recommend caravan guard but I have never used any other caravan insurance so can't compare.

You get big discounts with insurance for things like trackers and Tyron bands, your quotes will vary Hughly dependent on your security devices.

Caravanguard, based in Halifax iirc, they always beat the CC quote plus, they react when needed, our van went missing in the night a few years ago, new for old, new van on the drive van in under ten days. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Another vote here for Caravan Guard. We've been with them as long as we've had the van (10 yrs) as the caravan club didn't want to know where the van was stored and hence no discount for the CaSSOA Gold storage site we were on. They quoted £100 more and why should I pay for someone else's risks when I take security seriously.
Never had to claim. FL2 2007 57 GS

I'm with Caravan Wise. Only had the van for a couple of years and never had to make a claim. I did a comparison with the Caravan Club and a few other and found Caravan Wise to be the best value.

Caravan club insurance for me
A bit more expensive but cover seems good and obviously a well established brand with good underwriting - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!
