What additional cover options exist?
In addition to the standard policy options above, AAMI caravan insurance provides the following cover options:
Annexe cover. Normally, your annexe is covered as a part of your caravan when stored in your caravan and not in use. This option extends your caravan cover to the annexe when it’s in use, as well.
Increased contents cover. The default contents insurance only covers up to $1,000 worth of possessions. This optional cover can extend that cover to a sum agreed upon by you and AAMI.
Monthly instalments. In some circumstances you can choose to pay your premium in monthly instalments, rather than annually. This may incur an additional fee.
AAMI lifetime repair guarantee. Comprehensive caravan insurance provides a lifetime guarantee by AAMI on parts they authorise for your caravan’s repair.
What exclusions are there?
As always, no insurance will cover you without certain exceptions. AAMI will not cover your caravan if the damage is caused:
By trees or the movement of the sea
By animals or pets
By heat or asbestos
By chemical and biological contaminants or radioactive materials
By chips, scratches or natural wear and tear of the caravan, e.g. mould, mechanical faults, electrical faults or being driven while un-roadworthy
By failure to protect or secure your caravan
By intentional loss or damage to your caravan
By incorrect loading of your caravan
By named cyclones at any time, or by bushfires and floods within the first 72 hours of purchasing your policy
By any theft carried out by someone you’ve invited into your caravan
While your caravan is in the charge of someone else you’ve entered into a liability agreement with, or while hiring it out
While being used for business or carrying goods for trade
While in the charge of someone under the influence of alcohol or drugs
While storing or transporting dangerous goods
During lawful repossession or destruction of your caravan
During erection, dismantling or modification of your annexe
During unauthorised repairs or the replacement of non-damaged parts
During any unlawful activities
What excess do I need to pay?
Different excesses apply depending on the circumstances and type of claim lodged. The following is a list of potentially applicable excesses:
Standard excess. This applies to all claims unless explicitly stated otherwise.
AAMI Flexi-premium excess. As with many insurance policies, you can lower your premiums by raising your excess in case of a claim. This additional excess will apply on top of the standard.
Age excess. This applies on top of the standard if a driver of under 25 years was using or in charge of your caravan at the time of incident.
Inexperienced driver excess. The same as the age excess, for a driver over 25 who doesn’t have at least 2 years of experience handling the vehicle towing the caravan.
Off-road excess. Applies on top of the standard whenever your caravan was being towed over a beach or other unsealed road surface.
With AAMI, it’s possible to pay zero excess if it agrees that the driver was not at fault for the incident and you can provide the full details and registration of whoever was at fault for the incident.
How do I make a claim?
AAMI has a step-by-step guide for what to do when you need to make a claim.
Make sure everybody is safe. Call 000 for emergencies.
Try and prevent further loss or damage. Do everything you can to stop the situation or damage worsening. Emergency repairs may be warranted.
Report the accident, theft or damage to the authorities. Call the police immediately and record the time, date, report number and name of reporting officer.
Collect the details of all those involved or any witnesses. These will be required to lodge your claim. Collect full names, addresses and phone numbers but do not admit fault.
Contact AAMI as soon as possible. Include details of anything that might have caused damage to others’ property as well as any legal action threatened.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
