Q. How much should I insure my Touring caravan for?
A. If your caravan is less than 5 years old it can be insured on a new for old basis – once insured the new for old protection continues for as long as you require it. The caravan MUST be insured at all times for the cost of a brand new equivalent. If your caravan, irrespective of its age, has been purchased from a bona-fide caravan dealer it can be insured on an ‘agreed value’ basis for up to 12 months from date of purchase. It should therefore be insured for the purchase price. Alternatively it can be insured for its current market value, which normally will reduce year on year.

Q. Will my Static Caravan or Leisure home be insured for storm damage?
A. Yes, our policies provide cover against a wide range of perils including storm.

Q. What am I likely to receive if my Static Caravan or Leisure home is damaged beyond repair?
A. The claims settlement will depend on the type of cover you have chosen which will shown on your schedule. If you have chosen new for old cover we will replace your property with its brand new equivalent and pay any associated costs for site clearance, delivery and re-siting, provided your sum insured is sufficient. We will also pay the cost of replacing your contents as new, again provided you have insured for a sufficient amount. If you have chosen market value cover you will receive a pay out for the current market value with a deduction for depreciation and wear and tear.

Q. How will I know how much to insure my Static Caravan for?
A. If you have chosen New for Old cover you will need to insure for the cost of a brand new equivalent and site clearance and re-siting Speak to your site owner or manager. He or she will be able to tell you how much an equivalent unit would cost new and how much the additional costs would be for site clearance, delivery and re-siting. These can vary from one park to the next and may even be influenced by the position of your leisure home – for example if your unit is in a site where specialist lifting equipment would be needed. You should also allow for any decking, verandas or conservatories should you wish to insure them.

Q. Will my Static Caravan or Leisure home still be covered when I am not there?
A. If the home is unoccupied for more than 72 consecutive hours there are specific exclusions that will apply. These include the exclusion of cover for loss of metered water or heating oil and theft unless involving forcible and violent entry to or exit from the home. Full details of exclusions applicable can be found in the policy wording.

Q. Is there policy excess on my Touring caravan policy?
A. The excess (the amount you pay in the event of a claim) is £100. It can be reduced to £0 (at a cost of £30) or increased to £250 (a 10% discount will be applied to the policy premium - minimum premiums apply).

Q. How much will I have to pay as an excess if I have to claim on my static caravan insurance policy?
A. Nothing at all for the majority of claims. There is, however, a £500 excess for subsidence damage.

Q. Is there a no claim discount on my Touring caravan policy?
A. Yes, if you have 1, 2 or 3 or more years of claim free caravanning you can claim a discount of 5%, 10% or 15%. In the event of a claim this discount will be lost at subsequent renewal, unless it was not your fault and Towergatge Bakers recover the claim cost from the third party insurer.

Q. Can I insure my Touring caravan contents?
A. You can insure all your caravan related equipment and belongings such as awnings, generators, aqua roles, crockery, cutlery, TV etc. However, high value items (such as jewellery, cameras etc), cycles, sports equipment, clothing, spectacles and cash cannot be insured and should be covered by your home contents policy.

Q. What should I do in the event of a claim?
A. Contact Towergate Bakers as soon as possible. They will send a claim form and request estimate(s) for repair/replacement. If the damage is extensive they will instruct loss adjusters. They deal with all claims in-house and pride themselves on prompt, fair and sympathetic claims service.
