With many people taking their classic VWs off the road for the winter, we thought it was time to explain more about the laid up insurance cover available from Just Kampers Insurance.

What is laid up insurance?
Simply put, laid up insurance covers a vehicle whilst it’s kept off the road, but does not include any cover for road use.
There are three different levels of laid up cover available from Just Kampers Insurance, which are:
• Accidental damage, and fire,
• Accidental damage, fire, and theft,
• Fire, and theft
This cover applies when the vehicle is kept at your home address, or on a driveway, garage, or during transport in a locked vehicle or secured trailer.
Your vehicle won’t be covered for use on the roads if it has laid up insurance, but it will be covered if driven for track days, race events, or to MOTs and IVA tests.
