Touring Caravan Tips and Advice
Where to Keep Your Touring Caravan
When purchasing your touring caravan it is important to consider where your caravan will be kept.
Do you have a touring caravan? Insurance is crucial
Across the UK, people enjoy owning and spending time in caravans. They find it is a fabulous way to relax and get away from the stresses of every day life. It offers a chance to spend precious time with family and friends and allows you to go somewhere new, without having to worry about where you'll be sleeping that night.
For anyone who enjoys spending time in a tourer caravan, insurance is an important consideration. Not only does insurance provide you with financial protection, should your caravan suffer damage, but it's also a legal requirement if you're towing it on a public road.
If you're seeking touring caravan insurance, look no further than E&L. We offer specialist policies, providing you with security and peace of mind when you're travelling - as well as when your caravan is not in use.

All of our cover options will also keep you protected if you choose to holiday with your caravan in Europe. Depending on the age of your caravan, you may also be entitled to new-for-old replacement if the caravan is involved in an accident and cannot be repaired.
If you need insurance to cover accidental damage caused by storms or floods, some of our plans cover those eventualities as well. And with some of our options, you may also be reimbursed for hotel accommodation if something goes wrong.
We also offer a number of discounts on our tourer caravan insurance - which could help you save as much as 30%. For example, drivers over 45 years of age can receive a 5% discount, and so can those who are members of the Caravan Club.
