Did you know? Key facts about camping insurance

If you are planning to take a trip in your mobile home through Europe or go tenting in Switzerland, a real adventure awaits you. But as nice as it can be to travel without having to tie yourself to fixed accommodation, camping trips tend to be difficult to predict. In the event of a breakdown or an accident involving your camper van in a foreign country, you can soon incur hefty costs that can leave an additional dent in your travel budget.

Luggage stored in a mobile home or tent is also less protected against theft. If you have to terminate your camping trip prematurely due to an unexpected event – such as a serious illness like COVID-19 – additional travel costs are usually inevitable.

With our camping insurance for Europe, you can take out cover for all eventualities on your trip. The trip interruption insurance reimburses you for the costs associated with terminating, rebooking or extending your trip. Good to know: if you need medical assistance abroad, for example because you are involved in an accident or fall ill, repatriation to Switzerland where it makes medical sense is covered as part of the personal assistance package.

Comprehensive camping cover: these vehicles are insured

Our camping trip insurance allows you to insure passenger cars and mobile homes of up to 3.5 tonnes, as well as motorbikes. Registered camping trailers and caravans are also insured. Is your vehicle no longer roadworthy as a result of a breakdown or accident? We organise roadside assistance at the location of the event and assume the towing costs where appropriate. The costs of recovering the vehicle after an accident are insured up to CHF 2,000. If you are unable to continue your trip on the same day, we will reimburse you for the overnight accommodation costs. Alternatively, if you are abroad, we can organise a rental vehicle for continued or returned home.

Optimum cover for luggage on camping trips with our camping insurance

The benefits provided by the camping insurance policy are tailored to make them an ideal fit for camping trips within Europe. While the cancellation and trip interruption insurance covers you against unforeseeable events during your camping trip, the value of the items you take with you is insured as part of the luggage insurance included in the package. If your luggage is lost due to theft, damaged or even destroyed, for example, you will be reimbursed for the fair value. Bicycles, surfing and kite equipment are also insured as part of the travel insurance for camping trips in Europe.
