Motorhome-specific travel insurance launched

Motorhome insurance provider, Shield Total Insurance has launched a bespoke travel insurance policy aimed at the motorhoming community.

Offering multi-trip cover in both the UK and Europe, the policy is aimed at covering the specific needs of motorhomers.

Stuart Craig, Shield's Marketing Manager says: "The travel cover has been created very much with our understanding of motorhome enthusiasts in mind. We have stripped out unnecessary travel insurance benefits such as flight delays and loss or delay of baggage at airports found in the policies of mainstream providers and created a tailor made product for the motorhome sector."

The policy boasts some quirky features too. According to Stuart, over 60% of Shield’s clients travel with their pets, in response to this they have included a clause which ensures the safe return of a policy owners' pet from wherever they are in the UK or Europe should the need arise.

For interest I decided to ring these folk up. They were extremely nice and very helpful. We were thinking of an extended holiday around 40 days in France. The price for travel insurance they quoted was £300 . I was a bit shocked. Bearing in mind the blood pressure (under control ) and perhaps the cholesterol ah normal wear and tear ! I think that this was huge price for travel insurance. Anyway we bought from Bank of Ireland for €66 for 60 days multi trip. Could this be that we were from Donegal ? We also have private health insurance and I did tell them but perhaps this was not taken into account. Anyways just letting you know!

Thanks for this Ally, Steven had mentioned he though he had seen this somewhere, but then couldn't remember! LOL old age! I'm going to give them a shout and I'll letyou know how I get on. I have already tried the Post Office and they are offering Travel Insurance for 2 weeks @ £44. should be interesting!!
