There are several things to consider when choosing the right insurance cover for your RV

  • What benefits are offered as part of your policy? 

  • Will you receive a fair settlement if you were to write off your vehicle? 

  • What additional extras are included? Will you be covered for a range of eventualities?

Cheaper insurance can often come with small print, misleading terms and conditions, and lower policy limits.  This increases the risk of a shortfall when it comes to claim time. All policies differ and it makes sense to understand the quality of protection offered by your chosen insurer. 

The NZMCA started an insurance scheme in 1958 so members could be assured their RV’s were adequately covered, this scheme is now called Covi NZMCA Insurance. Covi exists to provide members with the highest level of cover in the market and is trusted to operate in the best interests of NZMCA members.

What’s more, Covi continues to give back to the NZMCA each and every year. This money enables the NZMCA to provide numerous membership benefits such as NZMCA parks, the NZMCA travel directory and helping to fund the legal battles for members’ rights to freedom camp.

Covi are committed to protecting your vehicle and the future of the lifestyle for generations to come.
