Can you offer any other recommended insurance provider other than Alan Boswell?

Yes! We are pleased that we can recommend Sterling Self Drive Hire Insurance as another recommended insurance provider. 

There are a few key differences between Sterling, and Alan Boswell which you should be aware of before changing insurance providers: 


  1. Driver Criteria: 

    1. Drivers must be aged between 25-75 (Alan Boswell age minimum is 23)

    2. Drivers to have full licence for no less than 3 years (Alan Boswell is 2 years)

    3. Convictions:  CU, LC10, LU20, MS10, MS30, MS20 PC or SP in the past 5 years is ok, anything else will need to be referred. 

    4. Claims: Drivers cannot have any claims or losses in the past 5 years.

  2. Referrals for non-UK licence holders - All non-UK licence holders need to be referred to Sterling. Our contact has confirmed that it is likely to be a yes for EU licence holders, however for countries outside the EU, this will be determined on a case by case basis.  

  3. Premium Costs - We have not been sent any standardised pricing for Sterlings premiums, however our contact quoted premiums between £700-£1800. Please make sure you are adding breakdown assistance to your policy also. 

  4. Vehicle Location - Like Allianz, unfortunately some UK postcodes cannot be insured, however our contact has advised us they can offer policies to most of London. 

  5. Contact - Sterling have advised us that there will be specific agents available to speak to Quirky Owners using a dedicated Quirky Campers phone number and email address, and to use this phone number to receive a quote. This direct line is 01279719429 and email address is quirkycampers@sterlinginsurance.com


If you need Quirky Campers to contact Sterling on your behalf (for example for referrals) please set your password to QuirkyVanName (eg. QuirkyFrida). 


If you decide to change your policy to Sterling, please contact us as soon as possible, as we will need to update the insurance information listed on your campervans page. 


Our goal is to be able to have a similar working relationship with Sterling as we do with Alan Boswell. Going forward, we will be working closely with them to make sure they are providing an excellent service to Quirky Owners so we would appreciate any feedback if you arrange cover with their team.
