We all know when it comes to purchasing a car that you will have to fork up some money both for the car and the insurance. However, does your insurance cover rental car? What kind of insurance coverage do you need for this?
In the event that you would need to rent a car, your car insurance can cover it. This is because generally auto insurance will come with liability insurance as well. This insurance will ensure that you are covered if do need to get a rental.
This insurance is covered in your personal policy, not the temporary insurance that the rental company will offer you. The coverage in your insurance policy will cover any injuries to someone else, as well as any injuries you might acquire in an accident.
Just in case there is a collision, it would be smart to purchase the collision coverage offered by the rental company. The risk reward situation here makes it definitely worth protecting yourself. Just a few dollars can potentially save you thousands or more down the line.
This insurance will keep you from having to pay hefty fees if there were to be any damage to the car. This insurance typically will cost between $10 and $20.
If you choose not to accept this insurance, you may be stuck paying for repairs for damages to the car that happened while you were driving it. It is very likely that your regular insurance company won’t pay for the damages.
Often times credit card companies will offer insurance for collision or theft. Paying by credit card can be a great way to keep from paying other damage fees. Just confirm with your card company before going by this, as not all credit card companies do this.
This coverage however, will not cover any damages to you or other people involved.

It was five years ago, on my annual trip to Leeds Festival that I became a caravan lover. That year I didn’t have an early pass and was eager to find a location to camp before there was no space left when the strap on my main rucksack broke. I balanced it on my tent bag and trudged on through the, now liquid, mud. Subsequently this additional weight then broke the strap on my tent bag, leaving me stranded.
Fortunately some friends of mine were nearby in the caravan section and helped me carry my things to their caravan. What luxury! It was only a cheap caravan but when equated with my one-man tent in which I couldn’t lie down straight, even without my bag, it was brilliant. How jealous I was of their luxury caravan when I opened my bag to find half of my things broken and damaged by the fall in the mud.
The next year I was naturally in one of those dry, warm caravans and happily watched the other festivalgoers struggle with their bags. Apparently my luck hadn’t improved and the caravan flooded. Again my new Top Shop inspired festival wardrobe was destroyed along with most of other caravan.
Thankfully I’d thought to check that contents were included on my caravan insurance. We didn’t have to worry about the harm to the caravan and I would even say we enjoyed living in the damp for three days. In the end, it is all part of the festival experience.
Now we have annual caravan holidays abroad, which are ideal for a low cost holiday with friends. I wouldn’t stop my caravan holidays for anything and definitely wouldn’t risk an uninsured driver hitting us and spoiling our tradition. Since the flood incident I always make sure we have the right insurance cover for whatever country we happen to go to, it’s so critical to have the right cover for European travel.
If you’ve a motor home then you have good taste, and really know how to have a good time. Enjoy your motor caravan and go on holiday. But don’t forget that holidays are meant to be stress free; with our less than reliable weather this isn’t forever the situation. Get the right cover for your vacation and have fun!
You will want to ensure that when you go to your festival of choice or off on your holiday that you have the correct caravan insurance to cover every possible scenario.

There is nothing better than a glass of Scrumpy cider after a long day of surfing in Cornwall or Devon but there is nothing worse than trying to get dry and warm in an already damp tent. That’s why I no longer camp on my annual pilgrimage to the beach. This summer many surfing amateurs and pros alike will be headed for British and European seas, and more of them than ever are going by caravan.
Caravans are by far the best choice for a surfing holiday; there is countless space for wet suits, towels and surfboards. I don’t have my own board but it’s much less expensive to engage one for the week as opposed to each day. It is not just less expensive but you have the opportunity to really get the experience of the board. Hiring a board for the week is pretty challenging without a caravan; even a short board would be hard to squeeze in a tent. That’s why I feel like a pro every year, despite sitting on my board in the green waves and searching for seals for most of the day.
The problem with caravans is the insurance. It is easy to forget to check if their insurance can give them the cover they require. If travelling to Europe then you have to make sure you have the right European caravan insurance or else you maybe left less mellow than the average surfer when something goes wrong! Don’t let some uninsured driver make you miss the surf this year, get caravan insurance!
Surfing all day means leaving the caravan unattended. Any true surfing lover will realize that the early surf is the better. After all who wants to share the waves with the foam board tourists? That’s why you should make sure that your caravan insurance looks after your contents. Particularly if you’ve any second planks left in it! A great specialist caravan insurance broker will be able to talk you through precisely what your policy includes.
Surfers are meant to be worry free so let someone different do the worrying! Don’t leave anything to chance this summer and get the correct insurance for your caravan. Don’t forget that mileage, overseas travel and what you require to safeguard can all affect your cover so chat to a broker that can find the proper policy for you. Enjoy the surf!
It’s sometimes hard to get caravan insurance to cover exactly what you need it to. If you want to ensure that you don’t get swindled by your insurers it’s best to use a broker that has existing relationships with insurance providers and who know their field inside out.
