Could I ask the question what typically paid for van insurance ???
I'm sure the costs are as variable as car & home insurance, however, being entirely new to the van scene, I'm putting costs together and trying to justify ownership
Initially looked at a new van, which as a starter van is probably not best advised as the prospect of initial heavy depreciation for something were not entirely sure on is daunting!
Having priced and accepted storage charges I found the insurance cost massive, amounting to more than I pay for two car policies is this typical or have I went to the wrong place ?
Also is van insurance necessary ?

Caravan club seem very expensive, we pay half that!
Unfortunately, my wife deals with it so no idea of company!

Maybe. OP check the cover carefully.

Some of the companies (the cheap ones) insisted on a wheel clamp being fitted whenever caravan left.... Sounds like a bellyache at services. Caravan Club for instance insist on this if left only for more than 8 hours.

Im with the caravan club, although im paying £128 a year. A lot of this boils down to keeping it at home, and then the age and value of the caravan I think!

Even the dearest quote on these pages is half what I was quoted + some
My first quote was for £434 with hitch lock alarm & wheel clamp perhaps I'll revisit the storage sites as I'm sure that must have some detriment!

£180.00 with Safeguard on an Alcoa Silver site. They were very good at paying out for a minor scrape I had too.
