Learn how to make savings on your motorhome cover

There are many ways that you can help yourself to make savings when you are looking to take out motorhome cover. While of course the cost of your policy would vary depending on several things which are beyond your control including the type of vehicle you want insurance for and the years of experience you have driving you can still help yourself to cut down on the cost of the premiums.

The first thing that you have to consider when taking out motorhome cover is where you intend travelling. If you are only travelling in the UK then you will not have to pay out for European cover. However should you plan on travelling around Europe then of course you would have to add this into your policy.

European cover would allow you to claim on your policy in the event that you were to have an accident or break down. The cover would generally payout for the towing and repairs of your motorhome along with providing you with money to be used towards a stay in alternative accommodation if needed. This would be up to so much each day and for so long. The amount of day’s protection you could have whilst in Europe would vary with providers so compare this before taking out the policy.

You will have to pay out some excess if you were to have to make a claim on the cover and this can also vary with providers with some asking more than others. You would have to pay this excess before the insurance company would take over the rest of the claim. While there is always a minimum amount that you need to pay you could offer to pay more and this could help to keep down the cost of the premiums for your insurance policy. However the excess you choose to pay would need to come out of your own pocket in a lump sum so bear this in mind.

You will want to protect your personal belongings in your insurance so check if there are any limits to making a claim for a single item. Some providers will offer you new for old if you were to have to claim for loss or damage but others could take depreciation into account and if so this policy could cost less than one replacing your belongings with new for old.

Finally always check over any motorhome cover that you are considering taking out as there will be limitations and exclusions. You should also check to ensure that you have the correct policy for your needs. It is not good taking out the first cheap policy that you find only to find that you would not be covered for something you need. Go over the cover carefully and it can help to make a list before you start searching for cover so that you know what you want and what to look for when taking out protection.
