I don't think many insurance companies would turn you down because you haven't got an alarm, although some would give you a discount for having one. One company even said to me they were not interested in alarms because nobody takes any notice if they go off!

Previously with ********* for insurance who demanded that wheel lock, hitch lock and alarm were all fitted, but were useless and took 6 months to pay out after caravan destroyed in storage compound fire.

Replacement caravan is now insured with caravan club insurance, we have to have only one security device, either hitchlock, wheel lock OR an alarm but with the addition of others you can reduce your premium by discounts. The cost of the device if you have to buy from new is more than what you will save in the short term.

I have had several refusals from insurance companies when they find out I have a 1 year old caravan with no alarm fitted. I have the wheel clamp and hitch lock but no alarm.

Why dont you try one of the "compare" websites with a pretend caravan and see what comes up in their questions and do two quotes one with and one without an alarm

We have a new Alpine and are insured with Camping and Caravanning club without alarm.
