Hi all,

I live in a flat in a small community. There are electric entrance/exit gates. I was going to renew my insurance with Comfort, but they insist on the van being put into storage which is £500pa, (I did have it in storage last year). Does anyone know of an insurer who would cover my vehicle, or do I have to cough up? Finding storage in my area is proving tricky.

Many thanks.

More than toes wet now!
Some insurers will even cover vehicles "stored" on public highway so think there will be someone out there for your situation.

Lots of insures will cover your van parked outside your premises, we have used a few and none insist on the van being in storage.
There are quite a few recommendations in other threads on the forum.

You'll always be able to get it covered no matter where you (legally) park it. Depends on how much you want to pay.

I can't imagine mirfield west Yorkshire being particularly high risk ?
Our post code in Market Harborough appears to be low risk for almost everything except motorhome which is uninsurable with several companies at this postcode cost of storage is less than increase in premium. Sad to say your comment is based on intelligent logic not insurers logic.

Living the dream.
Comfort were totally arsey about parking our moho on our driveway in a gated comunity at our holiday home in a very good postcode. Refused to give me a price so went elsewhere. Our home address postecode is a nightmare for insurance.

try nfu, they cover most things though not the cheapest
As long as you are not in a really built up area (in some cases) also it pays to contact your local NFU rather than head office :)

Many thanks for all of your excellent replies. More research and phone calls are necessary to compare other insurance company premiums and cost of insurance plus storage. The average age of residents in this very genteel small development is 75, and a good postcode. When I hear of MH's being taken from people's drives I would consider my situation far safer, especially as I have the Vanbitz Strikeback Growler. When that goes off there are 30 flats overlooking the car park all with a clear view of my van.

As per 2 previous suggestions NFU Mutual is your answer. Contact your local office. They won't be the cheapest but an honest reliable company.

The previous said NFU. NFU are the farmers representatives. You need NFU Mutual who are a separate company and amongst other things are the official insurers to NFU.

At first glance, I thought you were suggesting land mines on the drive might help :confused::confused::confused:
Dogman...I'll be happy to oblige if you supply the ammo .

Perhaps m/h have different risk areas to cars it could well be that one parked in a low crime rural area could be more nickable?

OP could also try AIB discount for funsters
