Tyson Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Insurance can be a rip off. I am thinking of buying a motorhome and after spending a fair amount of time this afternoon getting online quotes i would like to know how some companies charge so much. Typed in the exact same information and yet the cost varied from £230 up to £986 Quote
cidersurfer Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Mine is insured with Frank Pickles, as is my Westfield, if you haven't tried them Quote
Wile E. Coyote Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Part of it's probably due to different insurance companies targeting different markets: the higher priced one doesn't really want your business but will, at a price, insure you... Quote

Pistol Pete Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Try the Caravan Club, you need to be a member to take the quote up and normally are reasonable. Quote
pete g Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 just got my renewal from frank on me v8 and its gone up double to £260 Quote
XTR2Turbo Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 just got my renewal from frank on me v8 and its gone up double to £260 They must know what the roads are like near you. Sounds like a call to A Plan Another option is parts only road legal insurance which is what I have on my Sprint car. Works out about 30 - 40% cheaper Quote
Tyson Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Well done A-Plan Motorhome insurance fully comp £198, well happy with that Quote
cidersurfer Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 My renewal for the Westy is on the desk. It's £120. Quote
Tyson Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 My motorhome and Westfield are cheaper to insure than it is to tax them :down: Quote
BEN99W Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Didn't think much of frank pickle's renewal quote that arrived this week. I expect to be changing insurers tomorrow when I start ringing around, but Chris Knott beat everyone else one my Alfa and promised similar when it came to renewing the Westy so we'll see. Ben Quote
