The popularity of holidaying in a campervan or motorhome has surged in the last year. With the recent restrictions, it has made sense to explore the UK to the fullest whilst international travel was full of challenges. Hiring a motorhome or campervan can be a fun way to get out and see the sights this half term and allows you the freedom of flexibility. You can take in as many spooky sights as you want!

Many of us are not familiar with driving a vehicle the size of a motorhome so manoeuvring it can be a challenge. Overhanging trees and narrow roads or bridges are all things to look out for. If you have an accident you could end up having to pay out a large sum for the excess on your hire insurance. With Moneymaxim’s Motorhome Hire Excess Insurance comparison service we can offer you a policy to cover this eventuality.

The policies available through Moneymaxim also include cover for reversing and parking accidents. Beware this may not be the case with policies bought through your hire company's hire insurance. With Moneymaxim’s Motorhome Hire Excess Insurance comparison service we can offer you a policy to cover this scenario.

We are sure you will be amazed at how competitive the rates offered through our service are, especially compared to those offered directly from motorhome hire companies.

With a motorhome, repairs to windows and tyres can be expensive given their size and these tend to be totally excluded from the cover hire companies offer. These however (along with wheels, roof, underbody and lost keys) are also covered through Moneymaxim.

Top tip - If your chosen campsite provides a suggested route to reach them, it is a wise idea to use it rather than following a satnav. Satnavs do not always take into account the size of your vehicle.

There are plenty of campsites where you can stay with your vehicle in the UK (and worldwide too) the Caravan and Motorhome Club could be a good place to start. If you are just stopping off somewhere and wish to park there are usually dedicated motorhome spaces in public car parks. There may be time restrictions however, and you are not allowed to sleep overnight there. The same often applies at motorway service stations. Watch out for height restrictions at car parks too!

With the reassurance of cover through the Moneymaxim Motorhome Hire Excess Insurance it will leave you to enjoy the benefits of your chosen holiday.
