If you are no longer serving, or have never served (Stacker), look away now..... however, if currently serving or civilian staff needing to park your motor car on Camp, please see below:
Following some recent incidents it would appear that some UK Motor Car Insurance companies are slipping ‘Military Base Exclusions’ into the small print of their policies. Admiral, for example, apparently list Ministry of Defence premises and military bases under the heading of ‘Hazardous Locations’, as do Aviva, General Accident and AA/Saga. Direct Line have something similar but state, ‘other than in any area designated for access or parking by the general public’, given that Bases are not usually accessible to the general public. First Central list MoD premises as ‘Dangerous Locations’. Several other insurers specify use near, on or around airfields. Worth a check?
This has reared its ugly head following recent claims of vandalism to private vehicles whilst parked on a Camp ‘somewhere in England’. It will have repercussions not only for all those mentioned above but also those who, through no choice of their own, have to live inside the wire.
