A static caravan is an excellent choice if you have a favourite holiday destination that you wish to visit year after year.

Such holiday homes represent good value for money, but you will want to ensure your initial investment is protected by taking out a static caravan insurance policy.

While most people who enjoy the benefits of this type of break do so without any kind of problems, there are a number of things that can go wrong.

You probably don't want to think about issues like break-ins, floods and fires, but at least if you have the right cover you will have the peace of mind that such events will not leave you out of pocket.

There is a wide range of policies on the market, so using a specialist intermediary like Shield Total Insurance can help you to find the cover you need at the right price.

And our expert staff will be able to assist you in tailoring your policy so that it matches your requirements.

What does static caravan insurance cover?

We offer a range of flexible comprehensive static caravan insurance, so you will find you have a number of choices to make about your cover.

But there are several standard policy features that will ensure you have protection against major problems.

Your policy will include cover for theft, subsidence, accidental damage to underground services, fire and lightning – both while you are staying in the caravan and while it is vacant.

As your holiday home is likely to be empty for much of the year, there is a chance it could suffer serious damage from vandalism, burst pipes or floods while you are not there and it is important that you have cover for this type of misfortune.

It is possible to obtain insurance that will provide you with alternative accommodation should your static caravan become uninhabitable due to an insured risk, which will mean you do not have to change your holiday plans significantly while repairs are being carried out.

Should your static caravan be destroyed, you will find you incur some major costs, such as removing the debris, delivering a replacement, installing it and connecting it to utilities. It is sensible to check what these charges will be and make sure you have enough cover as part of your insurance policy.

With Shield Total Insurance, you can obtain cover for related structures such as decking, steps, skirting, balconies and storage buildings.

Additionally, you can choose extras such as key protection and legal cover.
