With Towergate your policy covers you for storm damage as standard. If your leisure home is in a flood risk area you might find other insurance providers can't cover it or will exclude flood cover. We aim to find you cover including flood cover as standard.
We’ve included theft and attempted theft through violent or forcible entry as standard on our holiday lodge policies, so you can rest assured that you are insured against damage or loss caused as a result.
As long as the necessary precautions have been taken, we will cover for frost damage to your interior boiler and fixed domestic water and heating installations. Please see our policy wording for the required precautions.
We include accidental damage cover as standard on our policy to give you that extra peace of mind.
We offer a standard £5,000,000 public liability cover on our policies, we understand a lot of parks require this so we have built it in to our policy

You can choose to include homecare emergency as an additional product with your policy. It provides a 24-hour helpline and assistance, including emergency repair services.
We can offer you cover for your keys if they are lost, damaged by accidental means or stolen. As well as replacement insured keys, it will also cover you for Locksmith Charges and new locks if a security risk has arisen.
We provide Leisure Home Insurance tailored to you and your holiday lodge or chalet so the premium will depend on the level of cover you choose, the age and size of your property, the property and content values you need to insure and your claims history. Ask our advisers for more details.
If you insure your holiday lodge or chalet on a ‘new for old’ basis, we will offer a brand new, equivalent model of your property if an insured peril causes it to be damaged beyond repair. We offer new for old holiday lodge insurance for properties up to 20 years old.
Holiday lodge and chalet insurance can protect you in three main ways:
1. Public liability, usually required by your holiday park
2. Damage caused by insured risks, including storms and fire, and both malicious and accidental damage
3. Any extra covers you choose to include, such as such as hiring out cover for when the property is let or lent, homecare emergency, key protection, excess protection and legal protection
Most companies will give you the option to insure the contents of you holiday lodge or chalet as well as the property itself. However, we can offer you cover based on the specific amount of contents you want to insure. You may also choose to insure your contents on a new for old or a market value basis. If you choose new for old cover for the property’s contents you should consider how much it will cost to replace your items as new.
Yes, we offer a Direct Debit scheme for our holiday lodge insurance payments.
