    You are correct in thinking that they are probably getting some sort of commission or kick back from the broker/insurer.

    On the other hand they could be making sure that all the occupiers of the park have valid insurance and it is easier for them to collate and ensure all of the policies are up to date.

    A couple of questions:

    - Is this a national park or single venture?
    - Have you checked can you post a copy of the T&C's?
    - Do you actually get an insurance document from them?

    Thanks for your reply

    Yes it is in the contract and they do send a proper policy i think all that is up front,it just seems so wrong we have to get there insurance.The caravan is ours all bought and paid for we just rent a pitch from them on a well know holiday park,it's the same with the alarm we have pay them for one even though we don't use it and for a yearly maintance check,seems they have us over a barrel.
