Deleted User User - 'You do not currently hold 5Cs Caravan Cover or Red Pennant Overseas Holiday Insurance with the Club.'

Today I looked at my insurance details in my profile and instead of links to my 5Cs Cover It held the above info. I thought it best to contact the club and did so in case their operative had previously made an error when I phoned to cancel renewal. It seems not. What can I say about the info in the profile. sealed

I have asked for a confirmation e-mail that I am still covered until the end of term. If you read this David is yours reading the same?

still think this is "mountains out of mole hills"  you seem to have a situation to cover all bases, just hope your next caravan insurance provider has a forum similar to CT, where you can vent your frustrations/undecided,

You may think that being told that your insurance is suspended and shown on the website that you have no insurance is a molehill. I won't comment further on your post. The claims handler for caravan cover did understand my concern

I also hope that any other "insurance" has the same finacial backing that  caravan cover has, with the huge insurance company that the club have taken out as is required when going Mutualsurprised

I think that Acromas Insurance Company Limited has sufficient funds

EasyT, were you with Caravan Cover? Is the Caravan 5Cs still in existence for anyone?

Posted on 15/11/2019 19:23

I am still with 5Cs CAravan Cover until 3rd December. Before that it was 5Cs cover

To be considered solvent they needed £60 million at the start of the year when they had £90 million

dont want tio drag this post out any further but just put in a search for Acromas insurance and look what popped up

I have a quote from Saga for car insurance and the insurance company is Acromas, which is registered in Gibraltar. Apparently it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saga. As it is registered in Gibraltar, do I get the same level of protection as if it was registered in the UK

would seriously check your caravan insurance, those Apes in Gibraltar can be mightly intimidatingtongue-out

as i have said on here my OH is and ex insurance broker and believe me you would not believe how incestuous the industry is.

The ANSWER is of course you do, but the question is, is customer service any better or worse then the club  ???  keep us informed

I am well aware where Acromas is registered in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. I have seen the Apes but appear that at present I have a monkey on my back . 

Not experienced a caravan claim with Acromas but I have had two claims for car insurance and they were very helpful. As was the Caravan Club insurers some 14 years ago

Don't feel obliged to drag this thread out Ruffs as there is really no need on my account

food for thought, if the club did not provide such good on line facilities, this post would never have been made. GN, there goes the monkey.

If the club had good online facility it would not have said that I have no cover would it?

I had my van insured with Adrian Flux, no problems at all, then when I came to reinsure I found out they weren’t covered by the fca.  They are covered by the Maltese fca.  My comfort level was breeched so I decided not to reinsure
