Most car insurance policies will only insure your caravan or trailer whilst it is actually attached to your car. A separate insurance policy is required for whenever the caravan is detached from the car. To date I have only been able to find four companies that are willing to quote a premium for insuring a Portafold.  As a rule companies that insure modern caravans will not insure any that are over 20 years old.  If you know of any other companies that will insure a Portafold please let me know, my details are on the 'contact us' page.

The Caravan Club Insurance Services – They were very helpful when giving me a quote but you must be a member of the club before you can purchase their insurance.  The cost of joining the club in 2006 was £39 (including a £5 joining fee).

Club Care Insurance Services – Equally as helpful as The Caravan Club (and they offer a 5% discount if you’re a member of the club) but you must mention whether you have an awning you wish to insure as this will have to be quoted for separately.  The cost of joining The Caravan Club in 2006 was £39 (including a £5 joining fee).

K. Drewe Insurance Brokers - They won't give you a quote over the phone as they require photos to ascertain the condition, but they are competitive. Incidently, these are the brokers that Footman James use.
