When do I need caravan insurance?

Why buy caravan insurance if you don't need it?

So taking out caravan insurance is not required by law, but it may be wise. Damage to others is covered by your car insurance (as long as the caravan is hitched to the car) or by your liability insurance (if the caravan is unhitched), but damage to your own caravan is not covered. Imagine colliding with another driver in your car with caravan. The other driver suffers glancing damage, but your own caravan also suffers considerable damage. The damage to the other driver is compensated, but the repair costs to your caravan are at your own expense. Or you are standing with your caravan at Lake Garda and are hit by a severe hailstorm. As a result, there are some substantial dents in the roof of your caravan. Unfortunately, you are not insured for this without caravan insurance.

Still unsure whether you should buy caravan insurance? Then take a look at your caravan. Do you have an older, used caravan? Then caravan insurance is usually not immediately necessary because the caravan does not have a high daily value. With a very new or expensive caravan, caravan insurance can sometimes be wise, because the repair costs for a new caravan are a lot higher.
