The latest survey from Admiral reveals that Brits dream of travelling free, setting their own rules inside a campervan. No interrogation by hotel reception, no batch of expensive Covid tests demanded by airlines, no “have you booked and scanned in?” questions at a cafe or restaurant. There’s a lot to be said for campervan holidays, enjoy the freedom while you can.
With more Brits opting for a summer staycation this year, the latest research from Admiral van insurance explores the increased appeal of campervan and motorhome holidays.

That said, it’s always worth shopping around for campervan insurance anytime of year.
With more holiday makers looking for a new type of holiday, the insurer found almost half of drivers (45%) would like to own a motorhome or campervan and a further one in five (22%) would be open to the idea of owning one.
The freedom a motorhome or campervan offers to Brits is the most appealing thing about owning one (56%). Drivers were also attracted by the ease of travelling around different parts of the UK (53%), the added comfort compared to a tent (44%) and the ability to stay in interesting places (40%).
