Caravan Insurance makes for ‘Happy Campers’
A caravan is one of life’s big investments. A ticket to freedom after many years of work and family commitments. For a growing number of Australians, a caravan is a ‘home away from home’, as they set out on many adventures big and small.
Many caravan owners are aged 55 years or older*. As these retirees head off on their dream adventures there is a chance that it could turn into a road trip nightmare with serious financial consequences, if the unexpected occurs. Fire, theft, collision, accidental damage and storms can ruin even the best laid plans and leave you out of pocket.
That‘s why it is important to check whether your caravan is appropriately covered for the many unexpected circumstances that may come your way.
COTA Insurance offers Caravan and Trailer Insurance with a range of features and benefits aimed at providing a broad level of protection.
Underwritten by Allianz Insurance, the Caravan and Trailer Insurance offers cover for accidental loss and damage, including collision, fire, and theft; as well as up to $1,000 for loss or damage to your caravan’s contents, arising from either an accident in which your caravan is damaged at the same time, or theft following forcible or violent entry to your caravan.
The following is a limited summary of our Caravan and Trailer Insurance only. Terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply. For full details and before making a decision, please consider the relevant PDS documents which are available on this website.
There is a range of standard benefits, including:
- 2 year new for old replacement of your caravan or trailer after a total loss if you purchased it new (from first registration)
- Reasonable cost of towing following an accident
- Cover for up to $500 for food spoilage in your caravan following a covered accident
- Emergency accommodation costs in the event that your caravan is uninhabitable following an accident more than 100km from home ($100 per day, up to a maximum of $1,000)
- Reimbursement for up to $500 toward emergency repairs necessary to enable you to tow your caravan or trailer to its intended destination
- Travelling cost for returning home if your caravan or trailer cannot be safely driven home after a covered accident (up to a maximum of $500)
Additional policy options are available to purchase – caravan fusion cover and the option to increase caravan contents cover, subject to underwriting limits.
