With the level of inflation rising and the increasing costs of petrol and diesel, more people are taking holidays in the UK and in particular taking them in a static caravan .
Static caravans are available for holiday hire, but there is also the option to buy a new or second hand one. Buying a static caravan can have its advantages, but there are costs such as ground rent and insurance that have to be considered.
Insurance can be bought online, however it is essential that people understand the insurance that is being offered and especially that the caravan site is covered against the risk of flooding . Insurers are not keen to give cover to caravans in high risk flood areas and some will not cover them at all.
Some companies will give static caravan insurance online discounts, which can be up to 20 per cent on the annual premium cost. Some web sites will give an immediate quote, others will give the details to an insurance broker in order to get the quote.
