Demand for motorhome cover surges as Brits prepare for UK’ations
GoCompare has seen a 26% increase in quotes from motorhome insurance compared with last year, as restrictions on holidaying in self-catering accommodation ease across the UK.
And it seems that the VW camper is still king when it comes to motorhomes in the UK, whether it’s a classic splitty, T2 or a modern T5.
Hannah Isitt, from GoCompare Motorhome Insurance, said, “Coronavirus has hugely affected foreign travel over the last year and it seems there are many Brits who have taken the plunge to buy a motorhome so they can enjoy the best the UK has to offer in a hotel-on-wheels. The figures show a real surge in demand. | Top 5 most popular motorhome makes:

“Just like cars, it’s a legal requirement to insure motorhomes. But when it comes to insurance it is worth remembering that a campervan can be covered by car or van insurance depending on its specifications and modifications, as well as their contents and whether they have a bed etc. But motorhomes are defined as a motor caravan by the DVLA and need a specialist policy.”
