FAQs

Well, we’re probably a little bit biased, but thanks for asking!

We think you should choose Compass because we know what we’re doing. We’re specialists and we’ve focused on holiday caravan/lodge insurance for more than 40 years. In that time have become one of the most trusted providers in the market and our cover is amongst the best available.

If you under-insure your caravan/lodge your Insurer will not pay out your total Sums Insured amount should your caravan/lodge suffer (an insured) total loss.

Instead, they will pay only a proportion, relative to the amount that you were under-insured by, and you may end up with a significant shortfall.

Here’s a few examples to illustrate how “New for Old” cover should work:

You buy a brand-new caravan, sited on your chosen pitch on your park, for £50,000. Your Structure Sums Insured should be £50,000.

You buy a second-hand caravan, sited on your pitch on your park, for £25,000. An equivalent brand-new model sited on your pitch on your park would cost £50,000. Your Structure Sums Insured amount should therefore be £50,000.

Read our guide on avoiding underinsurance here.

If you are a UK or EU citizen and your caravan/lodge is sited in the UK, we can provide you with insurance. However, we may need to speak to you about the nature of your residence in the country you live in.

Under insurance applies if your caravan/lodge is inadequately or insufficiently insured.

On a New for Old policy, your Total Sums Insured (see previous FAQ) needs to be:

enough to buy you a brand-new replacement/equivalent for your current caravan/lodge (or an equivalent) on your current pitch on your park.

While your mum/dad will need to be named on the insurance policy, you are welcome to speak to us on their behalf as a “nominated person”. We will need their permission in the first instance though, so please ask them to call or email us to confirm they’re happy for us to speak with you.

Compass provides policies on a “non-advised” basis, which means we are not allowed to tell you how much your unit should be insured for. However, there are lots of ways to work out how much to insure for. For example, you can look at similar units for sale on your park, or just ask your park owner, who should be able to help you come up with an appropriate figure.

We go to great lengths to keep the cost of our policies as low as possible. For this reason, Compass doesn’t routinely offer discounts.

When we do run a special offer, we tend to send the details to our customers by email. Make sure you’re on the list by signing up to our newsletter below.

Compass accepts payments via Direct Debit, debit and credit cards and bank transfer.

Please note that Direct Debit payments may incur interest or a charge.

We’re working on this. At the moment there are two scenarios:

• If you arranged your current policy online, you will be able to renew it online.
• If you arranged your current policy over the telephone, you will not be able to renew online.

We plan to introduce online renewals for all customers in the future.

We regularly check our prices against other insurance providers in the market and are confident that our premiums are very competitive for most holiday caravan/lodge owners.

There could be several reasons you have found a cheaper quote. Most commonly it’ll be because our policy offers benefits (cover) that cheaper policies do not.

When it comes to comparing quotes, it’s important to look at the differences in cover as well as the difference in price.

Absolutely! Whether you arrange your cover online or over the telephone, you will be given the option to spread your payments over 10 months. Please note direct debit payment may incur interest or a charge.

Yes. Click here to go to our home page where you can select a product you would like a quote for.

Price comparison websites are a useful source of information for customers. However, we have chosen not to work with them as we believe our brand, our products, and our service set us apart from the rest of the market.

Instead, Compass prefers to sell our policies directly to our customers and through partnerships with holiday parks.

If you’d like to cancel your cover, please call us on 0344 274 0277.

No problem! Simply contact us and we will pop one into the post for you.

Alternatively, you will find a copy on our website – click here.

You can make changes to your policy at any time by contacting our dedicated team on 0344 274 0277.

You will not be charged a fee for making a mid-term adjustment or for cancelling your policy before it expires, other than on our Motorhome product where we charge a fee.

Depending on the change, your premium may go up or down. For example, if you upgrade your holiday caravan/lodge, the cost of your insurance cover is likely to go up.

However, making simple changes such as amending your address, or adding a joint policyholder are unlikely to result in an additional cost.

We recognise that in some situations time is of the essence. The most important thing is to take a “safety first” approach.

In the event of an incident, you should take any immediate action you feel is necessary to protect yourself, your family or other members of the public.

Thereafter, there may be steps you can take to minimise further loss/damage to your holiday caravan/lodge – again as long as it is safe to do so – for example switching off your gas or electricity supply.

If it is necessary for you to carry out emergency repairs, it is likely that the cost of them will be covered. However, we cannot guarantee this as we assess each claim on its individual circumstances.

Our claims team are on hand to help you, so please contact them as soon as you can for support.

This will depend on the type of claim you have. When you register your claim, we will discuss the process and timescales with you.

No, but it is something we’re looking to introduce in the future.

Our exclusive ‘Major Incident Plan’ has been designed to ensure we respond quickly to major incidents.

When multiple holiday caravans/lodges are affected at a single location, our expert claims team aim to be on-site within 24 hours (as long as it is safe) to get the Plan going. Damage and loss will be assessed asap with a view to claims being settled as quickly as possible.

You should be able to find some examples of where we’ve responded to multiple claims on an individual park business on our News page.
