Motorhome Licencing Explained
To work out which weight/length of motorhome you can drive on each licence type, please head over to the DVLA website for further information.
Insurance Cover Types
Third-Party only (TPO):
Third-party-only insurance, also known as TPO is the minimum level of coverage you are legally required to have if you intend to ride your motorhome or campervan on UK roads. TPO will provide cover for any damage you may cause to a third party’s person or property. However, it will not cover you for your own vehicle if it is damaged in the event of an accident.
Third Party, Fire & Theft (TPFT):
Third Party, Fire, and Theft insurance includes coverage for everything under Third Party, but also allows you to claim off your own policy should your vehicle be stolen, or damaged as a result of a fire.
Comprehensive:
The last level of coverage is comprehensive insurance. Fully comp insurance enables you to claim for accidental and malicious damage to your vehicle, including vandalism, a single-vehicle incident, or flood damage.
Excesses Explained
Compulsory Excess:
A compulsory excess is set by the insurer at the point of sale (POS) and as the name suggests, is mandatory to pay if you claim your insurance. Typically, the amount of compulsory excess you will have to pay will be determined by the type of motorcycle insurance you have.
Voluntary Excess:
Voluntary excess is the optional amount that you can choose to add on top of your compulsory excess. By offering to pay more upfront, this can often help to reduce the price of your premium.
Vehicle Use
"When setting up an insurance policy, you will be asked how you intend to use your motorhome or campervan. You will have three options to choose from, these are:
1. Social, Domestic and Pleasure (SDP)
Most people will choose this vehcile usage for their motorhome or campervan. This will cover you for everyday social driving, visiting friends, going on holiday etc.
2. Social, Domestic, Pleasure and Commuting
As well as everything mentioned above, this level of cover also includes driving to and from work and/or driving someone else to and from work. SDP&C is only available if the NCD is not Protected, but can be referred to the Underwriters for consideration.
3. Personal Business Use (SDPC + Business Use)
Use covers you to travel to more than one place of work. I.e. multiple offices, sites, shop. However, it does not cover you for delivery or carriage of goods for business purposes.
For this, you'd need Fast Food Delivery (FFD) or Carriage of Goods for Hire and Reward (courier). Any form of Business Use, irrespective of NCD Protection, has to be referred to the Underwriters.
What is the FCA?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the UK's financial services regulator, seeing over the conduct of over 42,000 businesses in the UK - making sure that the financial market is functioning in a fair and honest way for consumers.
