Motorhomes require special insurance

The number of motorhomes in Estonia is growing, increasing risks for owners. Insuring a motorhome differs from standard car insurance: the owner must accurately declare its real value, otherwise compensation is proportionally reduced in case of damage. For example, if the actual value is €100,000 and the insured sum is €50,000, only half is paid. Comprehensive insurance covers sudden events like accidents, fire, or vandalism, but not equipment wear.
