How to measure your car and caravan/trailer…
The total cost for your car and caravan or trailer is determined by measuring the overall length of both units. To work out the cost, measure the distance from the front of the car (including the bulbar) to the back of your caravan or trailer. Vehicle lengths are rounded up to the next whole metre. For example, if your car and caravan or motorhome equal a total of 10.1 metres, it would be classed as 11 metres.
