What policies are available with RACQ caravan insurance

RACQ provides 2 levels of cover: Comprehensive Caravan Insurance and Comprehensive Trailer Insurance.

Both cover you for loss or damage – either to your caravan or trailer – caused by a range of specified incidents such as accidents, theft and natural weather events such as storms or floods. They also provide up to $20 million in third-party liability cover.

With RACQ's Caravan Insurance policy, you can choose to pay more and add further contents cover up to an amount you nominate – this isn't available with Comprehensive Trailer Insurance. The caravan policy already comes with up to $500 in cover for contents such as electrical appliances, bedding and furniture.

What affects the cost of RACQ Caravan Insurance?

A range of factors is considered when calculating the cost of your RACQ caravan insurance. These include:

• Accessories and modifications. Accessories may attract thieves and modifications can affect your caravan's performance, handling and braking.
• Address and location. Whether your caravan is kept on the road or in a garage; and whether the area you live in has a high number of claims, including thefts.
• Caravan type. The size, make and model, cost of replacement parts and safety record can all affect the risk of a claim.
• Your claims history. Whether or not you have made claims in the recent past. In general, expect to pay more if you have a history of at-fault accidents.
• Any optional benefits you choose. These will increase the cost of your premium.
• Any discounts you are eligible for. Any no-claim bonuses, or multi-policy discounts, can lower the cost of your premium.

RACQ Caravan Insurance excess

An excess is an amount that you must contribute towards the cost of a claim. There are 2 types of excesses that apply to RACQ Caravan Comprehensive Insurance:

1. Basic excess. This applies to all claims (except for not-at-fault claims).
2. Listed driver excess. An additional excess must be paid on top of the basic excess should the loss or damage occur while another regular driver is behind the wheel.
