Trailer Tent Insurance from just £90!


Do I need separate trailer tent insurance?


Car insurance policies usually cover trailer tents while they are being towed, but that cover will be limited to third party when you stop and uncouple. Once parked up, the trailer tent will be exposed, vulnerable to theft and damage – and without adequate cover.

While insurance for your trailer tent or folding caravan isn’t a legal necessity, it is highly desirable and, it could be money well spent in the event of a claim.

As well as the actual trailer tent, thieves can target the gear stowed inside – and these could be items not covered by standard home insurance.
