just been quoted £388 super 5c`s for a pegasus through CC

caravanguard, new for old £206 !!

why the huge difference ??

looks like im changing insurance co`s

We got a call from caravan guard after ordering a new van at the show-the salesman asked if ithat was ok before passing our details to them- so not got a problem with that,however the call failed at the first hurdle when we aked for exactly the same cover, I started reading out the cover we had & they said that the awning cover was limited to £750. Not a problem for everyone I know but if you have a dearer awning not much use. I think he said no accessories could be covered for over this figure, so as with all insurance just check that the cover is exactly what you need. By the way we are with CC&C who seem ok on price & service. Again make sure you get all the cover you want & any conditions are acceptable to you, read the small print before signing up (as with any insurance).

See you all soon, Bernard

 P.s.I know £750 sounds a lot for 1 item, but how much is a shiny new motor mover or a large full awning?

You do need to look at the cover carefully. As Bernard has said most CC policies have an amount built in to cover accessories and non standard equipment, is this the same with Caravanguard?

We pay £350 for our Bailey Pageant Burgundy (08), but it is new for old and covers £4K worth of contents.That is with Towergate Baker.

Having had to claim for an awning (storm damage) in the past(plus a couple of other claims!) I can say they are good.

The awning was replaced with a new one.

If the van was stolen or written off, it would be replaced with a new one-so I will pay the premium!

We have ordered a Pegasus for Feb, I dioubt the premium will increase much.

Hi

We have our insurance through Towergate Baker (via the AA) we pay £300.00/yr for New for old on a 2008 Adria Altea 542 UK, with £100.00 Excess. The mover, awning and accessories upto £500.00 are covered. Value to repalce van with current model is approx £10,500.00, so in all about 12,000.00 cover. And we store it on a Cassoa Gold site. so not too bad me thinks. Weh ave had i claim and it was sorted within days with Towergate Baker, cannot fault them at the moment for level of service.

caravanguard is on new for old, caravan value £16400 , £1500 for associated equipment,ie mover / awning  and £500 personal belongings and they are quoting £212 after a play with the figures.still £176 cheaper than the CC.

looks like we will be going with caravanguard

Not an easy choice to make then!

Having had a claim for a right off I can only sing the praises for caravan guard, I would not willingly move from them. They dealt with the problem quickly and very fairly, when it came to insuring the replacement van we found the old insurance was still in place and a minor adjustment was all that was required.

This I consider to be the ultimate test and they passed it with flying colours, good company, good prices, and good treatment as far as I am concerned.

the van comes with a tracker , alko axle lock and alarm plus we have the alko hitch lock so not really an issue.basically its the same as CC, you have the security gear it must be used when the vans unattended.
