What does a caravan cost?

A caravan is an investment in freedom, comfort and adventure. But what are the actual costs of a caravan?

What do the options for a caravan cost?

When buying a caravan, you can choose from various options and accessories to enhance your travelling comfort. At Lume Traveler, for example, you can choose from solar panels, an awning, mover, rear tent, leveling system or air conditioning. These options can significantly influence the price of your caravan and are often not included in the price of the caravan itself. Although our Travelers are completely finished, there are always options to personalise them even more and complete your travel style. Want to know more about our options?

What does storing a caravan cost?

If you do not always have space to store your caravan at home, it is useful to look into external caravan storage options. The cost of storing a caravan varies greatly, depending on the location and facilities. On average, you pay between €300 and €800 a year for covered storage. At Lume Traveler, we also offer the option of safely storing your caravan in our Lume hotel where it is equipped with all the necessary ‘luxuries’ and facilities. This is a perfect solution if you are temporarily not using your caravan but want to keep it well maintained. Think of it as a holiday for your caravan!

How much does caravan insurance cost?

Insuring a caravan is essential to protect yourself against damage, theft or accidents. On average, caravan insurance costs between €100 and €300 per year, depending on the value of your caravan and the cover you choose. It is also wise to consider travel insurance that specifically covers damage to your caravan while travelling. Want to know more about caravan laws and regulations at home and abroad?

What does road tax cost for a caravan?

A big advantage of a caravan over a motorhome is that you don't have to pay road tax. This makes a significant difference in annual costs. However, it is important to consider the fuel consumption of your car while towing a caravan. With heavy caravans, the car will use more fuel than normal. A big advantage of the Lume Traveler caravans is that we have a hugely erodynamic design which certainly brings advantages for electric vehicles in combination with a caravan. We have also written a blog for you with more information on which cars can tow a caravan.

What does camping with a caravan cost?

Camping with a caravan is a wonderful way to experience freedom, but it also comes with a cost. The price of a pitch at a campsite varies greatly, depending on the location, the type of campsite and the facilities. In the Netherlands, you pay on average between €20 and €75 per night. However, these costs can vary a lot from country to country and if you choose to go glamping, these costs are often even higher. For those who like adventure, off-grid camping is an interesting option that often involves no costs. Here, you are not dependent on a campsite or availability of a spot and can enjoy ultimate freedom. With a caravan from Lume Traveler, off-grid camping is a real adventure in complete freedom, super easy and also super comfortable!
