Great ways to reduce your caravan insurance premiums this summer

Aug 04

This summer, if you own a caravan, you’ll undoubtedly be using it. For once, the weather actually seems pretty nice – why not celebrate this by saving even more money than you already are by cutting caravan insurance premiums? By taking these top tips with you when buying a new policy with Autonet, you will have an even more cheap and cheerful experience when travelling the country.

Firstly, find a secure location to keep your caravan. The place you park plays a big part in stopping thieves. Consider permanently-locked gates, high-fenced perimeters and cameras; these are all considered by insurance companies.

Fit security devices to your caravan. A hitch lock or wheel clamp may only stop opportunist thieves, while more prepared people are often able to get round them with greater ease. The best form of security for a caravan is a tracker device; these may be expensive to fit and maintain initially, though many are effective in helping with the recovery of a stolen vehicle. Discounts on premiums are also an added benefit.

Join a caravan organisation such as http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/. Enthusiasts are often rewarded with a discount of up to 15 per cent if they are a member of such an organisation. Additionally, limit your annual mileage; if you only use your caravan occasionally, you may save up to 35 per cent on your annual premium.
