I always used one or other of the two Clubs. Not the cheapest but an excellent reputation for efficient settling of claims.Is there a comparison site for caravan insurance like with cars? If not, can I get some recommendations and / or know what companies you are all using for your caravan insurance?

Don’t Swift have a caravan insurance scheme for brand new caravans, and it was with CaravanGuard.Caravan Guard refused to give me a quote after inputting what I believe is the correct information.
I got some quotes from a comparison site ranging from about £250 to about £550.
I also got a quote from CAMC for £560 (plus the cost of joining as I'm not a member at the moment).
The caravan is brand new Sprite Major 4EB and will be kept on a pitch at Fell End in Cumbria for the next year when not being toured elsewhere.
Obviously I have zero NCB as I have never towed before other than a 3 hour towing class.
Is this fairly typical ballpark pricing.
It looks like they do yes - the UI is the same as Caravan Guard, but as mentioned above, this company will not give me a quote online - not sure why as there is nothing unusual about what I am requesting, other than it's my first caravan.I th

Would you get a quote via Swift then?It looks like they do yes - the UI is the same as Caravan Guard, but as mentioned above, this company will not give me a quote online - not sure why as there is nothing unusual about what I am requesting, other than it's my first caravan.

With CMHC you also have the option of using CS (five van sites) when you take the van on tour. These range from a field with toilet waste disposal and a tap, to some that would put 5 star sites to shame.I called them - they said that because my seasonal pitch is in a holiday park that does not have a closed security barrier or security guard at the entrance, they will only insure me if I use an Alko Axle Wheel lock which seems to cost nearly £500. Even then their quote is £590.
CAMC are now looking a bit better as their quote was £560 plus £60 for membership and they did not insist on an axle lock. We already bought a second hand wheel lock but I think it's a Milenko one.
As a couple of posters mentioned above, it starts to feel like CAMC don't have as many questions that are designed to allow them to refuse your claim later just because you forgot to set the alarm when you went for a shower or whatever!
Also CAMC have a clear option "Pitched at site" whereas others I looked at have various options for where the caravan is located when not in use, but none of them is clearly designed for a seasonal pitch option.
I can fully understand why the cost of policies is important to people, but I feel I have to reiterate, don't choose a policy based on price alone, Research in detail which features each policy offers, and evaluate which of those is most important to you. Also research (if you can find the details) which companies make the least fuss if you have to claim.It actually seems like compare the market has an affiliate site that covers caravan insurance - "insure my" looks like a reasonable mid priced option at £320. Cheapest is £206 when European cover included.
Pickles, CAMC and Lifesure all seems like they are the top of the pricing for my use case.

This is duplication of your new thread that asks the same question. Might be best to delete one of your posts.Just had our caravan stolen and are now thinking of getting quotes for the replacement anyone got any advice or companies to try ?
