Why Should You Have Dedicated Air-cooled VW Insurance?

It’s important to make sure that your vehicle insurance properly covers your VW air-cooled car as a classic, rather than taking out a generic vehicle cover policy which may not offer you proper cover if you ever need to make a claim.

Just Kampers Insurance offers flexible vehicle insurance policies which are tailored to you and your classic VW, whether you’ve got a Karmann Ghia which only comes out in the summer, or you drive your Beetle every day and rack up thousands of miles in it each year.

We’ve got decades of experience in tailoring vehicle insurance policies for a whole range of classic air-cooled VWs, and know exactly where to go to get the best deal on the best cover. A lot of the team here at Just Kampers Insurance have their own VW air-cooled cars, especially the Beetle.

Our first-hand experience and understanding mean that you’ll be getting cover which properly protects your classic VW when you insure with Just Kampers Insurance, and not just getting a generic vehicle cover policy.

We don’t just cover early air-cooled Volkswagens; we cover all years from 1946 to brand new. We can also cover your vehicle while it’s at a professional’s workshop, whether this is for general maintenance, a full restoration, or modifications. Plus, our price guarantee means that we’ll either beat your existing price, or give you a £50 gift voucher for our sister company, Just Kampers.

Air-cooled Insurance FAQs

Do you offer Agreed Value Policies for Air-cooled VWs?

Yes, at Just Kampers Insurance we can provide an Agreed Value policy, including a certificate, that pre-agrees the value of your vehicle for the term of your policy. This applies regardless of whether your classic air-cooled Volkswagen is 100% standard or a modified model.

Why do I need an Agreed Value from Just Kampers Insurance?

An Agreed Value policy is hugely beneficial to drivers of Air-cooled VWs. This is because such vehicles are often significantly undervalued when it comes to payouts post-incident. Securing an Agreed Value policy means that even if your vehicle was involved in an accident, declared a write-off, or stolen, you would not be faced with a nasty surprise when it comes to the money you receive.

Agreed Value insurance policies are also an advantage if you plan to carry out restorations or upgrades on your vehicle. This is because without this kind of policy, the potential payout is unlikely to reflect the true value of the vehicle that you would be able to obtain through selling it.

What does Just Kampers Insurance legal protection include?

All Just Kampers Insurance policies automatically include legal protection, which includes the following expenses if you’ve been involved in an incident that was not your fault:

  • Up to £100,000 to cover repair costs, the hire of a vehicle, and legal expenses relating to accidents that happen in the UK and Europe
  • Legal assistance in pursuing claims for any losses not covered in your original insurance
  • Advice and help claiming compensation for injury and losses
  • Where possible, a like-for-like replacement vehicle
  • Access to helplines
What air-cooled VWs do you cover?

Just Kampers are leading VW insurers in the UK, and the only camper insurance specialists. As such, we will provide the right policy for all air-cooled VWs including:

  • Beetle
  • Beetle Cabriolet
  • Buggy & Baja
  • Karmann Ghia
