Specialist Niche Insurance Broker Adds Hobby Caravan Insurance to its Portfolio

    ESSEX, ENGLAND, August 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Specialist niche insurance broker Cover4Caravans.co.uk, which offers both a web-based and telephone service, today announced the addition of Hobby Caravan insurance to its portfolio of products, with prices starting from under GBP150.

This is great news for Hobby Caravan owners who may often find it a struggle to obtain competitive quotations from touring caravan insurance companies because of the age-old stigmas attached to these types of caravans, including the perceived higher risk of theft.

Richard Burgess, Director at Cover4Caravans, commented: "Insurance Underwriters continue to look back rather than forward and despite the improvement in security devices, they continually decline to offer quotations for these caravans. This isn't right.

"We have been talking to Insurers for some time now to obtain cover for Hobby Caravans. Our research suggested that with the right security devices in place, these caravans deserve a realistic premium to be offered*."

Cover4Caravans believe their rates are competitive and cover typically includes:

- Caravan & Contents Sums Insured up to GBP17,000
- Accidental Damage Cover
- Theft, Malicious Damage etc
- GBP350.00 Policy Excess
- Low minimal premiums for Hobby Caravans starting from just GBP149.62 including IPT
- Optional Legal Expenses Cover.

Full details of the Policy Cover will be provided at the time of quotation.

Richard adds: "We are really excited to add this insurance to our range of what we believe are good value caravan insurance policies and now it is up to the Hobby Caravan owners to support us - as we prove to Insurers that they have made the right decision in supporting our recommendations."

Quotations can requested online at www.cover4caravans.co.uk or by calling the extremely experienced Cover4Caravans team free on 0800 970 7172.

*The theft risk of a Hobby Caravan is still higher than that of any other manufacturer and because of this certain conditions will apply to a policy, these include: -

- When detached from the towing vehicle and left unattended the caravan must be secured by a wheel clamping device and a hitchlock
- When left attached to the towing vehicle but unattended it must be secured by a wheel clamp
- The Hobby Caravan must be stored, when not in use, either at your home address on your private driveway or on a CaSSOA Registered Site
- The Hobby Caravan must be fitted with an operational Tracking device e.g. Phantom, SmarTrak, CobraTrak etc
- Use of the Hobby Caravan is restricted to the UK only
