Today, I had reason to call Caravan Guard to check an aspect of our insurance cover with regard to named drivers on the policy.
The interesting fact that came to light through the discussion was that our motorhome policy is a 'leisure vehicle policy' and as such does not provide any form of third-party cover for any other vehicle for the policy holder or named drivers.
I had wrongly assumed, that as a holder of fully comprehensive vehicle insurance on the motorhome, I would automatically have third party cover to drive another vehicle.......not so!
Whilst, on this occasion it is thankfully of no consequence to us, I just thought this insight may be of use to those who do rely on their motorhome vehicle insurance as a means of driving other vehicles occasionally on a third-party basis.
So, if you are unsure please check the type of motorhome insurance you have and the additional third-party (if any) it provides.
Sorry to those who think I'm teaching them to 'suck eggs' ...but surely I cannot be the only one who was oblivious to this aspect of motorhome insurance?
