  • Share on Facebook

Imagine having your own personal home away from home. It isn’t difficult to see the appeal of owning your own place, but a static caravan can represent a significant financial purchase. So, it’s only natural that you may want to protect your property with insurance.  

If you’re the owner of a permanently sited static caravan (one with plumbing and a permanent electrical link up), you can get insurance similar to regular home insurance. This static insurance guide will lay out all you need to know when it comes to protecting your holiday home.

Static caravan insurance protects you against a range of scenarios related to your caravan.

Here's what's insured:

  • Loss of any rent due to you if your caravan can’t be lived in following insured damage – up to £400 per week (£1,200 overall)

  • Accidental damage to fixed glass and sanitary fittings

  • Replacement of external door locks if keys are lost or stolen – up to £250

  • Public liability up to £5,000,000 if you’re held legally liable (as the owner or occupier) for injury to a third party or damage to their property

  • Accidental damage to any service cables and underground pipes that you are legally responsible for

Optional cover

Important information

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2031

Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.

‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview.  The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.

“Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed or equivalent or superior grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion.  It is available across 40% of eligible Parks and applies when letting a new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home (or equivalent or superior grade for 15 weeks.

An example of how “Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of an Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home at Primrose Valley with a monthly site fee of £585.00 (includes purchasing discount of £45) and monthly letting income of £803.67. The monthly difference equates to £218.67, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2024 figures.

Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Atlas Sahara 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading.
