What’s the difference between touring caravan and static caravan insurance?
Static caravans are fixed in one place, so static caravan insurance tends to be a lot more like home insurance. Touring caravans are designed to give you the freedom to move around. Touring caravan insurance also protects your caravan when it’s being towed.
Will static caravan insurance cover voids if I’m renting it out?
Static caravan insurance won’t cover lost rental income during void periods. But you can still get cover for your static caravan if you intend to rent it out, provided you tell the insurer when you buy the policy.
Your static caravan insurance might cover you against accidental damage by your guests. If an insured event makes your caravan uninhabitable, it could also cover emergency accommodation for them.
