Insurance renewal advice please

Fair point but, would you not have got the same service from other insurance companies?

So I suppose my question should have been , has anyone had a bad experience with any insurance companies ?

Agree with Merve have had cheaper quotes but for me the service from the cc insurance is second to none.

Have you looked at the  5 star DeFacto insurers? We use these to,provide quotes for our car insurance. We are insured with the club for our caravan as we find it difficult to find comparable quoted from the other DeFacto insurers due to,it being a Hobby.

No bad experience at all. Over my lifetime I have had to claim on car, caravan and house insurance - all with different companies - and all have been dealt with quickly and fairly by the assessor who came to sort out the problem. I'm afraid none of those insurances were via this Club, which simply acts as a broker, placing business with an actual insurer. Other brokers do that just as well and just as effectively.

When you come to claim you are dealing with an independent assessor - loyalty to the Caravan Club is no help in that situation. 

1) Treat the renewal notice as the first offer by the renewal company2) Compare different companies either direct or via web sites3) check such things as excesses and what is or not included. 4) write it down and then compare. 4) If there is a better like for like quote then speak to the existing insurers and see if they will match. Most case they will. Then consider tenewal.

This works for car insurance and some household policies but most  caravan policies are fixed prices and not negotiable.

Caravan Club every time...You will only get what you pay for...You can judge value for money by the service you get when you make a claim so believe me go with The Caravan Club.

Write your comments here...This fact is no doubt  is true but the point here is that with The Caravan Club being the size they now are means that the amount of clout they can wield means the insurance companies have to be "A1" in service or they are out on their ear.

Just rang house insurance people as renewal notice in. Got it down by £3 not much but worth my time. That's same price as last year Perturbed they thought we new to them last year, as been with at least 38 years maybe more!!! 

We have used Saga and previously found them too expensive to bother with but not now, Also the fact that you dont have to press options 1-10 is great you just actually get to speak to a human straight away. Had a motorhome now switched to a caravan and got a good refund from remaining policy too. Worth a try
