A Disaster Turned Into Triumph

5
Within 10 minutes of starting a weekend away, our caravan (2014 Model) spontaneously combusted as we were travelling along the M56 motorway. Within 60 seconds of stopping the fire punched a hole in the wall of the caravan and destroyed the whole van in minutes. Fortunately, my wife is a meticulous list keeper so we knew exactly what was inside. The resulting insurance claim was therefore merely a matter of filling in the simple claim and pricing the replacement cost of the items on the list. The claim and contents lists were submitted to the Club's insurer and we sat back to wait for an expected interrogation. We had a 'New for Old' policy so expected some questioning. None came. We had a couple of phone calls to clarify exactly how events unfolded, but not a question about the condition of the caravan or the contents, despite nothing being identifiable from the pile of ash swept up from the motorway. After about 4 weeks we were asked if we wanted a new replacement caravan or the cash alternative. We chose the cash, and a cheque for the full amount of the new replacement value duly arrived about 10 days later. As a result we had much more cash in our bank than had been expended on the lost van. A brilliant pain free, fair settlement in line with the terms of the policy we had purchased, and totally hassle free. I cannot praise them highly enough and would recommend them, without hesitation, to anyone. G. Henderson 06/09/17 Reviewed on: 6th September 2017
