We use a company called Premium Credit Ltd to provide finance for direct debits. Premium Credit's financing solution is easy to manage online at www.mypremiumcredit.com.


My Premium Credit gives secure 24/7 access to your account. You'll be able to keep tabs on your direct debit payments, sign your credit agreement, view correspondence, settle missing payments by card and make changes to your personal or banking details online. If you already pay by Direct Debit and are happy for cover to continue on the same basis, your Direct Debit collections will automatically continue.


Please note a charge for credit applies, written quotations available. Credit availability is subject to status.


Please forward your cheque made payable to "Happy Place Insurance" to Caravan Guard, New Road, Halifax, HX1 2JZ. Please make sure you print your full name and postcode on the reverse and make sure that we receive your cheque before your policy expires.

Inform us of changes

If your circumstances change then you need to let us know. So that changes to your policy can be made straight away we ask that you call us on 01422 395 895 to speak to our customer service team. We are open 8am-8pm weekdays and 9am-4pm weekends and most Bank Holidays. If you need to tell us your CRiS or VIN number, please use the form below.


CRiS

Send us your CRiS identification number


Fields marked with an * are compulsory






How can I find my caravan's CRiS number?



  • From 2016, model ranges were security marked with VIN Chip stickers which contain the 17 digit VIN number. You’ll find a master window label in the nearside front window’s bottom left hand corner. There’s also a label in the gas locker and then most windows should be applied with a tamper proof window lozenge.
  • 1992 to 2015 caravans carry a 17 digit CRiS number etched onto windows as well as a VIN or chassis number on the A frame or by the door. CRiS numbers begin with ‘SG’.
  • Folding campers and trailer tents should have a chassis number on the A frame also.

Still having trouble finding your VIN, CRiS number or chassis number? Call our friendly expert insurance advisers on
