Your trailer tent insurance policy provides cover of up to £75 per day for up to 15 days to cover the cost of alternative accommodation. This could for example be for bed and breakfast accommodation or for the hire of a static caravan on-site. See your policy book for details of how to claim.
In the event of an accident or serious damaged caused by another peril covered on the policy and the trailer cannot be towed as a result, the policy also covers you for the cost of towing the caravan/folding camper to the nearest competent repairer and then on to your home or storage address. Unlike many policies this also includes the cost of repatriation form Europe.
We recommend that you check that your car breakdown and recovery service will also deal with your trailer if your car breaks down or your trailer suffers a mechanical breakdown.
