campervan insurance

I'm sure this must have come up before, but can anyone recommend a cheap insurance for my camper. I'm currently with Churchill, who I have always found reasonable, but they are charging my a lot more for my van than they were for the estate car I ran before. Any ideas gratefully recieved

I would try safeguard part of swinton insurance. I found them significantly cheaper than elsewhere.

Churchill, Direct line, Privilidge Tesco , all part of RBS group if that helps..

Similar policies but different badge.

I can never find any logic in getting insurance, one person gets a good quote then somebody else doesn't. You might as well buy a lottery ticket as guess which one is cheapest. I always ring round, haggle, beg, cry,..... whatever it takes to try to get the last penny off. My only suggestion is sit down & call as many as you can, try to get the best then try again with the best quotes to play one off against the other.

My best deal for the past 2 years has been Saga, they were one of the few who didn't require me to have a tracker or cat 1 alarm as most of the others did.

i do agree with kontiki , ring around and play them off each other! saying that i'm now going to enter my 3rd yr with caravanwise, there is apparently a 3% increase to ins. premiums this yr but my ins. inc. now putting my partner on my policy has dropped £22

Just go and compare as the Adverts say.

If a Company has recently paid out loads then they go to the
bottom of the pile and the other Insurance Companies who have
paid out far less seem to offer the cheapest quotes.

I'm sure someone in Claims mentioned this ages back.
