QBE's comprehensive policy covers you for up to $30,000,000 for legal liability – many insurers only include up to $20,000,000.
QBE insures your caravan or trailer for an agreed value, giving you more control than policies that only offer market value.
Optional lay up cover allows you to save on your premium if there's months where your caravan or trailer won't be in use.
Cons
Contents cover is an optional add-on; other insurers such as Youi include personal possessions in their standard comprehensive cover.
QBE Caravan & Trailer insurance covers up to only $500 in emergency expenses or repairs. Other insurers cover up to $1000.
We found the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to be a bit vague, which can make it hard to understand what your policy covers you for.
Green Insurer of the Year 2023
QBE is our Finder Green Awards winner this year. A portion of your premiums go towards a social or environmental cause and it's on target to be a net-zero emissions organisation by 2030.
We don't currently have this brand on our panel. But don't fret! You can head to the QBE website or compare a bunch of other caravan insurance companies with finder.

What additional cover options are there?
When taking out comprehensive caravan insurance, you can add on some or all of the following options for an increase to your premium:
Excess free windscreen/glass cover. If your windows are broken accidentally, QBE won't charge an excess.
Hire car. If your caravan is stolen or undriveable following an accident, you will be reimbursed for up to 14 days of replacement hire.
General contents. By default, your caravan or trailer contents are not covered by QBE. This option will protect possessions kept inside the caravan or trailer, up to $750 per item, with a number of general exceptions.
Specified contents. The reasonable cost to repair or replace an item up to the sum insured for that item listed on the Policy Schedule.
Lay up cover.This is a discounted premium for up to six months of your insurance period when you're not using your vehicle.
On-site cover.A discount on your premium when your caravan is kept in one location.
What excess do I need to pay?
If you lodge a claim, you will most likely be required to pay one of the following excesses. A number of excesses can apply for a single incident. These are the main ones:
Vehicle excess. Every vehicle carries a standard excess that must be paid for any incident.
Cyclone excess. This applies when the incident involves a named cyclone.
Imposed excess. When insuring certain types of vehicles, QBE may require this extra excess in order to provide cover.
Named driver excess. Certain insured drivers will carry a particular excess, which is defined at the time you take out the policy.
The only time you will not have to pay an excess is if you are not at fault for an accident and you can provide the full details of the party who is at fault.

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.
