About Us

Shield Total Insurance (formally known as Shield Direct) was established in February 1997 to become one of the first specialist Caravan Insurance and Motorhome Insurance intermediaries in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In March 2005 we re-branded as Shield Total Insurance and our portfolio of products expanded from three to eight (to include Pet Insurance and Home Insurance), as we moved into providing Caravan Insurance online for the first time - thereby increasing our presence significantly in the caravan and mobile leisure vehicle insurance sector.

At Shield Total Insurance, we take a lighter, less 'grey' attitude to specialist insurance, both in our tone and presentation, treating customers with respect and courtesy in an informal but professional manner.

Our key objectives include:

  • Our commitment to providing a wide variety of customers with a single, preferred source for all their outdoor leisure-related insurance requirements
  • Meeting customers needs by offering a range of flexible products designed to meet the demands and needs of the individual customer, at a competitive price and supported by friendly, knowledgeable and responsive customer service
  • To de-mystify the jargon and terminology so prevalent in insurance documentation today


We have continued to expand our outdoor-leisure insurance product range and now are one of the fastest growing providers of Static Caravan Insurance, Residential Park Home Insurance and Leisure Home Insurance in the UK (including Holiday Lodge Insurance and Log Cabin Insurance).

More recently, we have added Folding Camper Insurance, Folding Caravan Insurance, Trailer Tent Insurance and Tent Insurance to meet the increasing demand from customers who enjoy the great outdoor lifestyle.

Finally, in these economic times, we recognise the importance of providing a wide range of product cover options and delivering great value. With this in mind, our starting prices are amongst the cheapest leisure insurance premiums currently available today:

  • Touring Caravan Insurance and Folding Camper Insurance from just £51
  • Trailer Tent Insurance from just £51
  • Tent Insurance from only £31.50
  • Static Caravan Insurance and Residential Park Home Insurance from only £77.55
  • Motorhome Insurance from just £183
