If the policyholder dies, arrangements will need to be made to cancel the policy or to make a temporary change to the policy for cover to remain in place.
We will ask for a copy of the death certificate and updated contact details for the spouse or Executor. If an Executor or Administrator is handling the estate of the deceased we will also need their contact details and a copy of the grant of probate or letter of administration.
The spouse or partner handling the estate of the deceased policyholder can cancel the policy or it can be reissued in their name.
If the policy is to be reissued we will need to update the risk details and provide a new quotation for the new owner. This will be subject to our usual underwriting criteria.
We cannot cancel the policy until we have a copy of the death certificate and, where necessary, other supporting documents. This would usually be discussed and arranged over the phone.
The European Commission announced that from August 2021, UK drivers will no longer need a Green Card to show proof of insurance when taking their vehicles into an EU country (or Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Serbia, Andorra or Liechtenstein). You can find out more here: Vehicle insurance: Driving abroad.
Driving a motorhome in Europe
If you’re driving your motorhome or campervan in the EU, your Supersure motorhome insurance documents will be sufficient and will give you the same level of cover that you have in the UK.
From January 1st, 2022 we will no longer send a Green Card to motorhome insurance policyholders who have EU cover.
You’ll need a copy of your motorhome insurance (including your certificate of insurance) to prove you’re insured for driving in the EU.
Do I need a Green Card for a trailer?
No
Driving in Europe
In general, you will not need an International Driving Permit (IDP) when driving in most EU countries for up to 90 days, but you must carry your driving licence photo card with you. There are some exceptions where an IDP might be needed:
- If you only have a paper licence (no photo card)
- If your licence was issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man
You must display a UK sticker on your motorhome and any trailer when travelling in an EU country if your number plates do not include the UK identifier.
You can keep up-to-date and request alerts from the Government’s visiting the EU website.
Unless you’ve sold your motorhome, we don’t recommend you cancel your policy – even if you’ve had to change your plans and won’t be using it for a while. Accidental damage when caravans are being used only makes up a small proportion of claims costs. Supersure insurance protects you against other risks, such as storm damage, flood, fire, theft and vandalism – you still need cover in place in case the worst happens. Unfortunately some of these risks can be even higher when you’re not using your motorhome.
If you have sold your motorhome or campervan or still wish to cancel for any other reason, please call us on 01422 397 794.
We offer a range of ways to pay for your motorhome insurance policy.
