Insurance

I don't know if you qualify but I use Saga which is Defaqto 5* rated but was about half the price of the Club insurance on a new Bailey Barcelona - although European cover is not standard and has to be added as and when required.  I have been through the fine print and Saga seems to be identical to CC Insurance in terms of cover but I accept that the only test of an insurance company is when you are unfortunate enough to have to make a claim.  That said, Saga is a reputable organisation and I would have thought they were reliable.

Unfortunatly we have just had reason to test the service of Saga having had a kind Italian use our van as a brake writing it off and damaging the car, just south of Rome, I'm pleased to say they have been great, it has taken 4 weeks but they brought both caravan and car home and paid £500 towards our return travel costs [£1000]  have arranged for repairs to the car, written off the van and today agreed what I consider to be a fair value. Although will still be out of pocket [ £500 travel, £250 car excess and £100 caravan excess ] they intend to pursue his insurers to recover these costs for us, so I must say I'm happy with the service they have provided

Sorry to hear about the damage you have suffered - hope you soon find another van. We are about to switch our insurance to Saga after receiving a very competitive quote. Its always good to see a good review beforehand.

I hadn't thought of saga either, it came as a bit of a shock when I remembered I'm actually 51 ( still feel 21)  I have also had a really competitive quote from them.

Caravanguard, always comes in for us cheaper the the Club, whe the van disappeared in the night years ago, they arranged a brand new van from our local dealer in four days.

if over 50 SAGA for us the best quote

I've just swapped from Saga to Coast(Zurich) - 17% cheaper.

Another one for the Caravan Club insurance, probally not he cheapest, but when i had to make a claim 3 years ago the service was 1st class

I did look at caravan guard and there was a small saving against the club but they wanted a hitchlock fitting which would have cost the difference so not worth it.

I did hear from Coast but they were so cheap at half the price it was too cheap for me. I did settle for the C&CC which gives the same cover as the club but far cheaper for me.
