Can anyone reccomend an insurance company, Bakers of Cheltenham have just increased the premium more than 50%!

Typically I am looking for £1,500 cover at about £45.00 as I have been paying.

I have been on the insurance links but would rather go by reccomendation rather than phone round them all.

Thanks,

Ivan.

Caravan Guard offer trailer tent insurance, we are even running a compo with them at the moment to win £250 towards your premium!  Cheers  Ratty

As a matter of interest did you ask them to justify such a massive increase?

Ratty,

I'll need that £250 as Caravan Guard run it at £17.00 over Bakers renewal, They also insist on both a hitchlock and a wheel clamp, even though the wheels are removed and live two miles away!

After phoning 4 companies of which included Bakers, Caravan Guard and Caravan Club Bakers were the best by far. They will also give you 90 days free cover abroad as well as allowing your close relatives to use your camper and be covered.

Insurance is a strange game and is swings and roundabouts.

Just insured my 25 year old Coleman Gettysburg folding camper with a bit of difficulty as some of you will know most companies wont insure a camper over 15/20 years old.

I eventually insured it through the camping and caravaning club Tel 01784 484646 at a cost of £40 (price was approx £60 on their website so it might be better for you to phone) insuring the camper for £1000 + an extra £250 for contents not a bad price at all seeing as I am not a member of their club.

 Have Bakers made a mistake ? I cant see how they can increase by 50% if your circumstances are the same. Here's a tip you can ring your existing insurance company and say you are a new customer and get insurance cheaper than you have been paying, that goes for car insurance as well, for the same cover you have been paying for.
