What Is Motorhome Insurance?

Motorhome insurance is a specialist type of motor insurance designed for vehicles that are used for both travel and accommodation.

Policies typically take into account features such as fitted kitchens, sleeping areas, and stored personal belongings, as well as the risks associated with driving and storing a larger vehicle.

Motorhome Insurance Policy Features

Please note that cover will always vary depending on the insurer and policy selected, but may include the following:

Accidental Damage Cover

Protection for repair costs if the motorhome is damaged in an accident.

Contents Cover

Cover for personal belongings stored within the motorhome, such as appliances, furniture and equipment.

EU & Worldwide Cover

Some policies may extend cover to travel within Europe or other specified regions.

Storm & Flood Damage Cover

Protection against damage caused by severe weather conditions, including flooding.

Vandalism & Malicious Damage Cover

Cover for repair costs if the motorhome is intentionally damaged by third parties.

Awnings & Generator Cover

May include protection for external equipment and accessories attached to or used with the motorhome.

Motorhome Insurance Policy Exclusions

As with all insurance policies, certain exclusions will apply. These can vary between providers, but commonly include:

  • General wear and tear
  • Damage caused by mould or mildew
  • Vermin infestations
  • Unforced entry where the vehicle was left unsecured
  • Use of the motorhome for trade or business purposes
  • Use as a permanent residence

Your broker will be able to explain the specific exclusions within any policy you are considering.

Types of Motorhome

Motorhomes are generally categorised into three main classes, which can affect insurance considerations.

Class A Motorhomes (Integrated)

These are typically the largest motorhomes, often featuring full kitchen and bathroom facilities, large living areas and extensive storage. Due to their size and value, insurance for these vehicles may be higher.

Class B Motorhomes (Semi-Integrated)

Usually built on a van chassis, these motorhomes are more compact and easier to manoeuvre. They often include essential living facilities within a smaller space.

Class C Motorhomes (Alcove)

Also known as coach-built motorhomes, these feature an extended sleeping area above the cab. They offer a balance between space and practicality, sitting between Class A and Class B in terms of size and cost.

What Affects the Cost of Motorhome Insurance?

The cost of motorhome insurance will depend on several factors, including:

  • The size, type and value of the motorhome
  • How often and how far it is used
  • Storage location and security measures
  • Driving history
  • Whether the vehicle is used in the UK only or abroad

Specialist or high-value motorhomes may require more specialised cover, which can influence the overall premium.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MOTORHOME INSURANCE

    • What kind of insurance do I need for a motorhome?
      Motorhome insurance is a specialist form of motor insurance that covers both driving risks and the living accommodation within the vehicle. Unlike standard car insurance, it typically needs to reflect the value of onboard equipment, personal belongings, and how the motorhome is used for travel and accommodation.Brokers can discuss your policy, which is usually based on usage, storage, and whether you travel in the UK only or abroad.
    • What details do I need to provide to get a motorhome insurance quote?
      To assess cover, brokers will usually look at:Motorhome type, size and value How often and how far it is used Where it is stored when not in use Security measures (alarms, trackers, immobilisers) Driving and claims history Whether you travel in the UK, Europe, or further afieldThese factors help determine the level of cover and premium offered.
    • Can I drive a Motorhome on my car insurance?
      Motorhome insurance is usually required as a specialist policy, as standard car insurance does not typically cover motorhomes. Coverage depends on the vehicle’s weight, classification and how it is used, including whether it is used for travel and accommodation. A broker can discuss this with you to ensure the vehicle and its contents are properly covered.
    • Can I drive a motorhome with my normal driving licence?
      In many cases, yes. Most standard UK car driving licences allow you to drive motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes (Category B entitlement). However, larger motorhomes may require a higher entitlement depending on weight and when your licence was issued.You must hold a valid driving licence appropriate for the motorhome being driven.
    • What will happen to motorhomes after 2030?
      While the UK government has announced plans to phase out the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles in the future, this does not affect existing motorhomes. Current owners will still be able to use, sell and insure petrol or diesel motorhomes as normal. Any future changes would primarily impact new vehicle manufacturing rather than existing ownership. You may wish to check with a broker if these changes will impact your cover.
    • Will diesel motorhomes be banned in the UK?
      No current legislation bans existing diesel motorhomes from being used on UK roads. Future environmental policies relate mainly to new vehicle sales rather than existing vehicles already in circulation.
    • Will motorhomes have to go electric?
      Electric and hybrid motorhomes are being developed, but they are not yet widely available. Any transition to alternative fuel types is expected to happen gradually over time, meaning traditional diesel and petrol motorhomes will continue to be commonly used for the foreseeable future.
    • What is the cost of motorhome insurance?
      The cost of motorhome insurance depends on factors such as the vehicle’s size, value, age, usage, storage location and the level of cover required. Higher-value motorhomes, frequent use, European travel and lower security can all increase premiums. Comparing quotes through specialist brokers can help you explore cover options based on how your motorhome is used.
    • Is European cover included with motorhome insurance?
      Some motorhome insurance policies may include cover for travel in Europe, but the level and duration of cover will vary between insurers. Policies may provide time-limited European use, while others may require an extension for longer trips. Cover is usually based on how and where the motorhome is used, so this should always be checked before travelling abroad.
    • Am I covered if I lend my motorhome to someone else?
      Cover for additional drivers depends on the type of motorhome insurance policy in place. Some policies allow named drivers only, while others may offer more flexible driving arrangements subject to insurer approval, which brokers can discuss with you. Anyone driving the motorhome must be correctly declared on the policy to ensure valid cover.
    • Does motorhome insurance include breakdown cover?
      Some motorhome insurance policies may include breakdown and recovery cover as part of the policy, while others may offer it as an optional add-on. Cover levels can vary depending on vehicle size, usage and travel destinations, including whether European breakdown assistance is included. Brokers can assess your insurance requirements and advise on what cover you may need.
    • What happens if I modify my motorhome?
      Any modifications to a motorhome, whether cosmetic or mechanical, should be declared to your insurer or arranging broker. Changes such as added equipment, electrical systems, or structural alterations may affect the policy terms. Cover will depend on the nature of the modifications and how they impact the overall risk profile of the vehicle, and a broker can help ensure the policy reflects the updated specification correctly.
