What does static caravan insurance cover?
When insuring your static caravan, insurers typically provide cover for both the structure and the contents inside of it. This could include cover for issues such as:
- Accidental damage.
- Public liability.
- Fire, flood & storm damage.
- Theft & malicious damage.
- Legal expenses cover.
- Subsidence, heave and landslip.
When renting out your property to guests, most insurers don’t provide full cover for this type of activity, however. As a result, you could be left seriously out of pocket when it comes to guest-related claims and damages. The cover provided by some guest platforms may not be enough either. Check out our Airbnb insurance page for more detail on this topic.
Do you provide cover for residential use?
At present, we only provide cover for residential park homes when they’re being rented out to paying guests. You’ll still need to have your main insurance policy elsewhere for the property.
How can I get the best static caravan insurance in the UK?
The ‘best’ cover depends entirely on your circumstances and what you use your property for. With regards to renting it to paying guests, it’s important to make sure you have the right coverage. Any gaps in cover could lead to issues such as:
- Large repair bills.
- Legal hassle.
- Lost income.
Make sure you have adequate protection with a provider such as Pikl so that you can share safely and with confidence.
What is the average cost of park home insurance in the UK?
When it comes to typical park home insurance, the cost of a policy depends on many factors including your location, property type and the contents inside of it. Insurance premiums will therefore vary depending on your own individual circumstances, requirements & needs.
At Pikl, our park home insurance is designed to cover guest-related rentals only. The prices for this are fixed and depend on how much cover you need. Click on the ‘Get a quote’ button to find out more.
