If you're an old insurance man like me, going grey and still carrying a liking for old early 70's bands like soft machine and caravan, then you probably think that you've seen the last of your summer music festivals with nights spent cramped under the canvas of a tent and waking up with aches and cramps in places you didn't know existed! However, another way to go is to take your motorhome (or somebody else's) along to the festival and enjoy the music and the atmosphere without the nights spent on the floor under canvas.

What many people have found with the motorhome route that you get the best of both worlds really because you can enjoy the atmosphere of the festival and of course the live music, but you get a cup of tea every morning, there are no queues for toilets and showers and you have a comfortable, dry bed to sleep on every night!

Many owners of motorhomes rent out their motorhomes for events like this because they know that lots of people enjoy music festivals but don't look forward to the camping, however what a lot of them don't realise is that doing this, while perfectly legal, is usually not covered under a standard motorhome insurance policy.

A distinct memory of last year's Glastonbury festival was of a couple leaving their motorhome having had their breakfast and prepared for the day, only to return later in the day to find that one of Glastonbury's infamous rain storms had weighed down the awning outside it and caused it to bend and break meaning it was more or less ruined. This would have been probably over 1000 worth of damage and if they had hired the caravan without letting the insurance company know, then it would be completely uninsured.

If you are thinking of letting your motorhome go to Glastonbury or any similar music festival this year, is well worth thinking about insurance.

So if you're thinking of letting out your motorhome to family or friends for them to take to a music festival or anywhere really, the best way to go is probably to have them added to an existing insurance policy for the duration of their trip. This will allow you to relax at home safe in the knowledge that your motorhome is being looked after and even if it isn't, that you have the right insurance to cover it.
