A Quick Word on Trackers 📡
As your campervan is a valuable asset, especially after a high-quality conversion, some insurance providers may require a tracker. This is often the case for vehicles valued above £50,000, but it can vary.
A Thatcham-approved tracker is a great security feature that not only gives your insurer peace of mind but gives you that extra layer of protection against theft. We can also provide and install these for you, ensuring your van is as safe and secure as possible.
We know it’s a lot to think about, but taking the time to find the right insurance for your campervan is worth it. It means you can focus on what’s important: making memories on the road! 🗺️
Happy travels! 🚐💨
