What is caravanning?
Caravanning involves travelling with a touring caravan towed by a suitable vehicle and staying at campsites or caravan parks during your trip. Motorhomes and campervans are motorised vehicles and may need to be selected separately when getting a quote.
Can I get travel insurance for caravanning?
Yes, cover for caravanning can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Select caravanning when getting your quote and check that it appears on your policy documents. Travel insurance can cover the traveller and eligible parts of the trip, but it does not insure the caravan, towing vehicle or motorhome.
Things to remember:
- Choose caravanning when getting your quote
- Check that the activity appears on your policy documents
- Arrange separate insurance for the caravan and towing vehicle
- Do not rely on travel insurance for breakdown or roadside assistance
- Add any other activities planned during your trip
What can travel insurance help with?
If you become ill or are injured during an insured caravanning trip, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment, baggage and other travel-related problems. Cover does not extend to the caravan or towing vehicle, and Personal Liability is not covered while using a motorised vehicle. Check the applicable Policy Wording.
Caravanning FAQs
Can caravanning be covered by travel insurance?
Yes, cover can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel. Select caravanning when getting your quote and check that it appears on your policy documents before your trip.
Does travel insurance cover the caravan?
No. Travel insurance does not cover loss of or damage to the caravan itself. You will need separate caravan insurance that matches how and where it will be used.
Are the towing vehicle and breakdowns covered?
No. Travel insurance does not provide motor insurance, caravan recovery, roadside assistance or cover for vehicle repairs. Arrange suitable motor and breakdown cover separately.
Can medical expenses be covered during my trip?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if caravanning is shown on your policy documents and the claim meets the policy’s terms and conditions.
Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?
Pre-existing medical conditions are considered separately from activity cover. Declare them when getting your quote, as cover is subject to medical screening and acceptance.
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy. Check the applicable Policy Wording and your policy documents before taking part.
