Comfort Insurance announces partnership with the UK’s leading Recreational Vehicle sharing platform, Camplify

Comfort Insurance (Comfort), an award-winning motorhome insurance provider in the UK – supported by Aviva – has negotiated additional value for its large strong base of motorhome and campervan owners as a result of a new partnership with Camplify, one of the UK’s leading campervan and motorhome sharing platforms.

A family business, providing motorhome insurance for over 30 years, Comfort prides itself on providing knowledgeable service to our clients by way of specialist motorhome insurance policy and cover, and value-adds that set it apart from other insurers.

Comfort will now proactively market and recommend Camplify’s UK sharing platform (camplify.co.uk) to its large base of motorhome owners, providing those vehicle owners with a safe and secure opportunity to share their vehicles with like-minded people, and earn an income as a result. Camplify unlocks new earning opportunities for van owners, and RV owners on Camplify can earn up to £10,000 a year as more and more travellers turn to Camplify sites in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Spain for their next #vanlife adventure.

Ben Cue, General Manager & Director of Operations shared: “We’re formally endorsing and recommending Camplify to our large network of campervan and motorhome owners, which enables them to share their motorhome with a safe and secure way to rent out their vehicles, with reputable business, at an exclusive commission rate for our members for the first 12 months on Camplify. In doing so, they will have the confidence of knowing their motorhome is fully insured for any damages under Comfort’s customised motorhome policy, just as they do on their annual policy they hold with Comfort.”

Justin Hales, CEO & Founder of Camplify shared: “We are excited by this partnership and endorsement. The Comfort business has been built on providing a fantastic customer experience and product for their large base of motorhome owners. Now through this partnership, Comfort customers will be able to leverage their van in a simple and easy way to start earning income through the Camplify platform.”

Comfort has negotiated an exclusive offer to Comfort van-owner customers who sign up to share their van on Camplify with best-in-market commission fees for 12 months after they join Camplify.

About Comfort Insurance

Victor Millwell Insurance Agency Ltd t/a Comfort Insurance specialises in various leisure products with our main focus being on Motorhome and Campervan insurance.  The main business has been trading for 42 years with specialist niche’s having been its focus for more than 30 years.

Specialising in a niche Motorhome and campervan product, it is important that we have the correct partners, hence we have a solo scheme with Aviva with optional breakdown cover provided by DAS with a line into the AA. We have been working on an additional product to suit our customer base and one that will complement the Motorhome and campervan offering. This ranges from a new Hirer product which allows the owner to lend their vehicle for a financial reward and, more simplistically, Car and Home policies.

We use an array of different distribution channels due to the scale and specialist nature of our products, and we have employed a marketing team that monitor and develops this. Various routes to market are:

• Digital nature and paid searches
• Print Publications ranging from owners’ clubs and specialist magazines
• Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn

Competition is always a changing landscape where we have seen several brokers come and go over the time that we have specialised in the leisure industry. The most important thing to us is to maintain the level of service and product to the customers. The way we currently engage with customers is changing; we need to make sure that we match all the channels and can make contact with existing and new customers whilst monitoring what our competitors are up to as they may have spotted something that we may have missed.
