Specialist Classic Camper Insurance
Getting insurance for your classic camper is incredibly important. As well as being a legal requirement in the UK, campervan insurance lets you protect the time, money, and effort you’ve put into creating and maintaining your home away from home.
A lot of us here at Just Kampers Insurance have classic campers ourselves, and we understand how important it is to have proper cover which protects your classic campervan as a classic campervan, and not just a van or a classic car.
Whether you’re using your classic camper to head to festivals or you’ll be spending your retirement cruising around Europe in your campervan, we’ll help you get a great deal on insurance.
What Counts as a Classic Camper?
If you’re not totally sure whether your camper counts as a classic or not, you can get in touch with our friendly team of experts on 01256 44 45 46 or get in touch via email, and we’ll discuss it with you.
Is a Classic Camper the Same As a Vintage Camper?
Yes, the terms ‘classic’ and ‘vintage’ are pretty interchangeable when it comes to older campervans, and anything referring to classic campers on this page could just as easily be applied to vintage campers.
We tend to find that more people use the term classic than vintage here in the UK when describing vehicles, which is why we generally use that term, but you can definitely still get vintage campervan insurance here at Just Kampers Insurance, if that’s what you’d rather call it!
What Are the Benefits of Classic Camper Insurance?
We also include a range of policy benefits as standard, at no extra cost. These are important extras which can really help you get the most out of your classic camper and include:
• Limited Mileage Discounts, which means you’ll pay less if you don’t get to drive your classic camper very far each year.
• Modification Cover, so you’re properly insured no what changes have been made to your camper.
• Salvage Retention, which lets you keep parts of your classic camper, including the interior, if your camper is written off.
You’ll also have the option to further customise your classic camper insurance policy with a whole selection of optional policy benefits, such as:
• Agreed Value Cover, which you can add to your policy and ensures you’ll be paid out a sum of money which reflects the true value of your classic camper if it’s written off.
• Breakdown Cover so you can get roadside assistance if you’re out in your classic camper.
• Contents Cover, which covers the possessions in your classic campervan it they’re damaged or stolen.

What Makes Classic Campervan Insurance Different to Standard Vehicle Insurance?
The classic campervan policies we offer here at Just Kampers Insurance are tailored to you and your camper, as we understand that classic campers are treated and driven differently to daily drivers, or even modern campervans.
A lot of us have our own classic campervans, and so understand that they’re usually driven far less often than other vehicles, often only hit the roads in the summer when conditions are better, and spend a lot of their time parked up safely.
All of these factors and more mean that classic campers are generally a lower risk than other vehicles, which helps us to get you a great deal on insuring your camper.

This type of insurance cover generally costs less, as you won’t need to be protected while driving!

Classic Campervan Insurance FAQs

How old does a camper have to be to get classic campervan insurance?
There’s no strict industry-wide rule, but at Just Kampers Insurance we generally classify a campervan as a classic when it is around 20 years old or older. Some vehicles, particularly older VW campers, may also qualify based on their heritage, rarity, and enthusiast ownership rather than age alone.
If you’re unsure whether your camper qualifies for classic campervan insurance, our specialist team can help assess your vehicle and find the most suitable cover for you. Give the team a call on 01256 44 45 46
What is agreed value cover for classic campervans?
Agreed Value means that you and your insurer will set a price which reflects your vehicles true value, which will be paid out if your vehicle is written off.
There’s more information on our agreed value page.
What is a classic campervan?
There’s no firm rule, but at Just Kampers Insurance we tend to classify a campervan as a classic if the engine is in the rear or if it was built more than X years ago.
This means that the VW T2 Splitscreen, VW T2 Bay, and VW T25 would fall under the classic campervan categories, as well as MK2 Ford Transit campers, the Mercedes 407D, the Bedford Dormobile and more!
Luckily, we’re able to provide bespoke vehicle insurance to classic campers or modern ones, as well as daily drivers and a whole host of other vehicles, so no matter what camper you’ve got, or when it was built, you’ll be able to find affordable insurance policies with Just Kampers Insurance.
What isn’t covered by classic campervan insurance?
Classic camper insurance policies generally have the same exclusions as normal vehicle insurance, which include:
• Normal wear and tear to your camper,
• Mechanical breakdowns or fault which aren’t caused by accidents,
• Damage to your camper while driven by an unlicensed driver.
Your policy may have specific exclusions, so you be sure to check your policy documents.
How does a limited mileage discount work?
If you only use your campervan occasionally, you could save money with a limited mileage discount. When you choose a policy with a lower annual mileage allowance, the risk of making a claim is generally lower, which means your insurance premium could be reduced by up to 50%.
Typically, policies covering 5,000 miles or fewer per year qualify for a limited mileage discount. You’ll simply need to provide your vehicle’s mileage at the start and end of the policy period so your usage can be verified.
If you think you may exceed your agreed mileage limit during the policy year, contact the Just Kampers Insurance team as soon as possible. They can discuss your options and help ensure you remain appropriately covered.
What are the differences between classic and modern campervan insurance?
Classic campervan insurance policies from Just Kampers Insurance take into account the age, value, and mileage of your camper and are tailored to provide you with great cover at a really affordable price.
We’ve been offering bespoke vehicle insurance quotes since 1998, so we understand that no two campers are the same, and that a classic campervan will be treated different to a modern one.
We understand that your classic camper is likely to be driven less and pampered more than a modern camper might, and these differences are considered when finding you campervan insurance quotes.
