Track down the best way to find self drive hire insurance when renting out motorhomes or campervans.


Motorhome Self Drive Insurance

Self Drive Motorhome Hire Insurance

Firstly let us explain the different types of policies in the market for those looking to hire out Campervans or Motorhomes - and the reasons you might want to use each solution.

Established Motorhome Hire Business Insurance

Pro's - Flexible insurance solution designed around your business by a team of self-drive motorhome hire insurance specialists who look after several hundred self-drive hire businesses.

Con's - You need to be an established business with a track record before you can be considered.

For more information we suggest discussing your options with motorhome fleet insurers listed on the BVLRA website. This is the site managed by the British Vehicle Leasing and Rental Association - the leading trade body for rental firms.

New or Smaller Motorhome Hire Business Insurance

Pro's - Very flexible Pay As you Go approach and ideal for those wanting to avoid significant upfront costs whilst growing their business.

Con's - Insurance costs will be calculated individually based on the track record of the hirer, so quoting a standard inclusive rate for hiring out is more difficult. Slightly more admin as insurance needs to be put in place for each rental.

Licences must be checked and verified by you, through relevant services, as well as checks on the hirer, confirming addresses and identity. This is important to meet UK Anti Money Laundering legislation.

To arrange a quote visit the InsureCarHire website who offer this type of cover.

Annual Self Drive Hire Insurance which allows private use

Pros - The annual policy is a very easy way to cover your personal use whilst allowing you to make money from hiring your van out when not using it.

Cons - Again you are responsible for checking the hirer's details, and it's quite tricky in the early days of hiring out your van to know whether the cost of such a policy will be covered by your rental income.

Get a quote quickly with Adrian Flux by calling free on 0800 181 4542 (Monday to Friday 9am - 7pm and Saturdays from 9am to 4pm). They find that in over 70% of occasions the best rates are achieved over the phone.

Insurance organised by the Hirer

Pro's - The Insurer deals with the legal requirements regarding identifying the policyholder to meet Anti Money Laundering legislation. Vehicles can be hired on an 'excluding insurance rate' basis with claims not affecting your policy record.

Con's - As a hirer you are not in as much control as you are not the policyholder.
