CIL Insurance specialises in insuring caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and other RV's. They offer one cover option - comprehensive. Read on to see a breakdown of what they offer and if they're right for you.
CIL offers one form of comprehensive cover, which includes cover for loss or damage to your caravan plus a number of additional benefits, such as $20 million in legal liability and a replacement caravan if yours is a total loss within two years of being insured. On top of this, you can extend all available cover to your annexe, and premium options can even provide cover for hire use and caravan transport by road, rail or sea.
Additionally, when you take out caravan insurance, you have the choice between Australia-wide or on-site cover. If you choose the second option, you could get cheaper premiums, but your caravan is only covered when it’s at the location you specify when buying your policy.
