Mileage limitations on campers and classics?
Are drivers of camper vehicles or classic vehicles limited to a certain annual mileage?

Hi Martin,
Camping vehicles, no — you can drive them as much as you like (depending on any mileage agreed with your insurer of course). Classic vehicles, usually yes — again, each policy is different and you can always negotiate, but Irish insurers tend to view classic and ‘vintage’ cars as very much show ponies, and you’re usually stuck both with a 5,000km annual limit and the need to show proof of having a ‘normal’ car insured and taxed for day-to-day use.
