Is Caravan Insurance More Expensive Than Car Insurance? 

Touring caravan insurance is usually cheaper than car insurance and there are a few reasons why; caravans generally aren’t used every day, and they’re not driven independently on the road. 

However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all answer. The price you pay will depend on things like the value of your caravan, the level of cover you choose and your personal circumstances.
