AdamR Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hello all, This is pretty odd, but I know the WSCC seems to have a wealth of knowledge about random stuff I'm looking to get a motorhome / campervan (LWB Sprinter / Crafter conversion type thing) for my business, with either multiple named drivers or an 'open' policy for anyone over 25 with no claims. Problem I'm running into is insurance - nobody seems to offer cover on a company-owned motorhome of any sort. I'm thinking there must be a way as you see all these posh RVs etc at shows - does anyone know of any companies I could try? I've done the usual Google thing to no avail... Cheers in advance!

Norman Verona Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Have you spoken to Clare at A-Plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I didn't speak to Clare, but have rung A-Plan - they won't touch any motorhomes owned by a business or for commercial use unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyblues Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I will not mention the name of the broker who happily took my money to insure a motor home for business use. when i wanted to make a claim they all ran like ****. so be very carefull if you do find someone to insure it. same goes for camping clubs, sites etc. nobody wants commercial business?

AdamR Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hmm - well that sounds like a sticky situation! What did you do in the end Marty? Yeah, they could probably charge a(n even more) stupid premium for it, you'd think someone would offer it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Adam, have you tried the caravan club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyblues Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had to do something naughty and look after myself. the caravan club will not let you on their sites if you even mention the words trade business or commercial. I can only imagine that people just insure as normal and hope for the best. Not fhe best way imo but who knows. I had bitter rows with the cc over their rules, and cancelled all my insurance policies with them. Car house caravan breakdown , the whole nine yards. ps tey were not the brokers refered to earlier.

AdamR Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hadn't thought of that Norman - however it looks like it won't work either from what Marty has said. Thought of a chap I can ring who may have some ideas... If anything crops up I'll report back! Edit: Got a possible lead but it sounds like it might need to be via a traders policy... Which I don't think will work in my case. But, I'll investigate anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
