    We use Safeguard insurance and Red Pennant breakdown cover (through the Caravan and Motorhome Club). They cover travel in EU countries. We make sure we have cover that includes getting us and the van home if we breakdown or have an accident abroad. When arranging insurance you need to tell them how many days you will be abroad and how many miles you will be doing in a year.
    Not long to wait for your new van 👏😄❤️

      @LifeistooshortCK that's 2 votes for Safeguard! Joining C&M Club is on our to do list so we'll get that sorted before delivery date.
      Thanks, gang! Hope France is treating you kindly N&Nx

    Caravan Guard. Breakdown included and brilliant to deal with. One thing to note is that unless you are getting rid of the car, you will be starting from scratch on your no claims with the van. Loving George and Mildred :). Ian

    We have always used CAMC for our caravan/motorhome insurance. We always use Green Flag for breakdown cover in the UK. When you go into Europe, you really need Red Pennant insurance via the CAMC. We had to use RP when we were hit in Northern Portugal, they were simply invaluable. A little tip here, when in Europe you need to carry some white, red and amber film. If like us you get hit and the lights get damaged, the police love to fine you for having none suitable cover over the light cluster/s. Hence why you need to carry all three colours. The guys at RP told us that. Any insurance company will like to see that you have taken as many precautions as possible to reduce the risk of your pride and joy being stolen. Alarms, tracker, secure storage (if you use it) security posts if on your drive, wheel locks, (your insurance company will best advise you on which ones), a steering wheel lock is always a great idea. One thing to remember is that you only get what you pay for with insurance, our experience in Portugal hammered home the fact that when you are facing a calamity, a great insurance company rides to the rescue. The cheap ones just give you the runaround, avoid them if I were you. Hope this helps. But most of all, enjoy your new van when it arrives.

    Hi guys insurance is a minefield, so lots of quotes and don’t go for it until your questions are answered, we went for a like 4 like policy at a set value, which is expensive but gives us peace of mind, green flag for breakdown cover, and most policy will give you 90 or 180 days European cover included, any other help you need once you want to add bits to your van WiFi solar etc give us a shout and we might be able to help, so excited for you.👍👊🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚌

    Make sure you think how long you will be away ie 30 60 90 days or more in total and also time in one go
    Make sure house insurance also covers you being away to for the same period

    Fiat will come with breakdown cover for min 2 years. You can extend with Fiat, if you extend the warranty by up to 3 years. You have to do this within 10 days of the vans registration though. Enjoy
