Do you tow a car? or a trailer?

The development of small cars such as the Smart Car, and also developments in A-Frame technology has meant that more people are considering towing a car behind their motor caravan Generally, this shouldn't present a problem, but there are some important things to consider. Firstly, consider what cover is provided by your policies: your motorhome policy will provide third party insurance for a towed car or trailer whilst it is attached to the motorhome. Any damage that occurs to the car itself whilst being towed should be covered by the car policy (provided that you have comprehensive cover). Secondly, if you take your motorhome abroad and tow a car, you need to be sure that the car insurance provides for foreign use, and for the length of time that you intend to travel. Some private car policies only provide a limited number of days per trip, so you may need to arrange for anything longer than this to be added to your policy by endorsement (and there may be an additional premium). Alternatively, talk to us about the insurance for your private car-our policies provide a generous single trip limit as standard, and have been designed with the motor caravan owner in mind.

We are a family business, and we pride ourselves on our friendly and helpful service. We see many of our customers at the shows that we attend, but for those that do not come along to meet us, have a look at our latest series of advertisements in the motorhome magazines. If you have ever wanted to put a "face to a name", now you can.
