Default '71 Bay Window Camper Insurance for 20 yo

Because of my age, it seems that insurance companies won't touch my if I ask about driving my families 1.6 '71 Camper.

Irritating since I am insured on a 1.6 Beetle. Are there any other young-ish people who can get insured on thier campers? If so who did you insure with?

thanks for the help! - james

I just renewed the insurance on my camper today. I got a good deal from Adrian Flux 08700 777120. I even managed to get them to drop the price of recovery (including home start) from £75 down to £45.

Mind you, I'm a lot older than you but you don't know unless you try.

Good luck

Im 22 now but I insured my bay using JustKampers (I think it was HIC who actually provide the policy) and it was good value, and i've currently got a 2 litre bug insured for even less! I'd suggest giving them a go.

Have you tried Footman James?

They insure me on my bug at a reasonable rate, and I intend to insure my '71 bay with them when I get it roadworthy.

Currently pay under £400 a year for the bug, lowered, mods etc and I'm 18 and male. TPFT, limited miles and agreed value.
