Do I need to contact my insurer before contacting AllBrand?
It is usually best to notify your insurer first, because the insurer decides what your policy covers and may issue a claim number. However, you are welcome to call AllBrand before doing so. We can answer initial repair-process questions, explain what information is commonly required and help you understand your next step.
Can I choose my own caravan repairer?
This depends on your policy and insurer. Ask your insurer whether you have a choice of repairer and whether they need to authorise the assessment or repairer before work begins.
Do you repair motorhomes as well as caravans?
Yes. We assess and repair eligible insurance damage on caravans and motorhomes, subject to vehicle size, construction and workshop capability.
Can you repair caravan water damage?
Yes. Water-damage work may involve leak detection, pressure testing, resealing and repair of affected walls, floors, framing, cabinetry or exterior components.
Can you repair hail and storm damage?
Yes. We assess damage caused by hail, wind, falling objects, heavy rain and other storm events. The repair scope depends on the affected roof, panels, fittings and any related water entry.
What happens if hidden damage is found?
If dismantling or testing reveals additional related damage, it is documented and the insurer may need to review and approve a supplementary repair before that work proceeds.
Do I have to pay an insurance excess?
Your insurer determines whether an excess applies and how it is collected. Check your policy or claim documentation for the amount and payment arrangements.
How long will my caravan insurance repair take?
Timing depends on the assessment, insurer approval, parts availability, hidden damage, repair complexity and workshop scheduling. A more reliable timeframe can be provided once the approved scope is known.
Can upgrades be completed during the insurance repair?
Yes, where suitable. Upgrades are quoted and authorised separately from the insurance work and may depend on compatibility, parts and scheduling.
What should I do if the caravan is unsafe to tow?
Do not tow a caravan you believe is unsafe. Contact your insurer or roadside-assistance provider to discuss recovery or transport options, then tell us where the vehicle is located.
