Just thought that I'd post something positive & gratefully accepted....

My insurance renewal with Comfort Insurance through Aviva arrived yesterday & was £25 cheaper than last year.... admittedly we have all done less mileage but considering my home insurance renewal came through a week ago & was +22% more expensive when inflation is about 1% I was well pleased....

Needless to say I promptly renewed with Comfort & purchased Contents & Buildings elsewhere!

I believe most insurance has gone down due to the effects of Covid, less driving, people at home  etc. Our car insurance went down on renewal.

I've been with Lifesure since 2014 and never seen a price jump. This year is very different so I shopped around as I do with car and house insurance and found prices in general were high. 

Cover4Caravans and Ripe Insurance [a new one for me] are the exceptions. I know we all have different requirements but after adding Europe, low x/s, protected ncd, legal expenses etc for £26K caravan I'm looking at £260/280 for a Liverpool postcode on a van kept in a locked garage at home address.

Do have an alarm and Alko wheel lock as mine is a few pence more than £330 with CMC with these

Hi Dave,

Comfort insurance £336 at my renewal, this is without breakdown as I'm still covered by Fiat, I think + breakdown will add about £60....

Obviously a lot depends on your age, postcode & value of motorhome.

 

Hope this helps

Best alternative so far is My Insurance at £231.

Hi all, my CAMC quote has just come in by email, up 15.5%; now £419.

We hardly used it last year, like most of you and in secure Gold CASSOA CAMC storage costing £656 pa.

They have nerve for anything down there.      Insurance is based on risk, so if you only do a fraction of the normal mileage the risk of damage or theft is massively reduced.      I will contact them tomorrow when I have calmed down!!

my car insurer sent me a cheque for £50 because we were not doing the mileage and we didn’t have to ask for that.

Trouble is, as I said in my earlier post, I would consider risk of 'theft' higher when I wasn't using it....
