insuring multiple classic cars?
« on: November 16, 2010, 06:32:25 PM »
Has anyone found an insurance company for classic cars who write agreed value policies and charge only one property damage/public liability amount?  Obviously one cannot drive more than one car at a time and therefore cannot cause liability from more than one accident at a time.  I have heard that some companies do not charge PL/PD for each car.  PL/PD is the largest itemized charge on your insurance policy.  I think that maybe some companies only charge for a certain number of cars and more cars do not always mean more premiums - anyone care to comment on that?  Classic car insurance has become rather expensive and maybe some on this forum can share their solutions to the ever increasing premiums.

At one time, I had 3 daily drivers (non-classics) and only two drivers.  I asked my insurance agent about this exact same issue, and he said, no, it was not possible to float insurance for two drivers against any two of the three cars that might be driven.

These guys are out to make a buck, and there's no good reason for them not to in this situation.

you need to be in the shoes of the insurance company on this one....

yes YOU can only drive one car at a time but that does not mean ALL your cars can't all be on the road at same time though so therefore they do have exposure on all....

what if you,your wife and best firends drive all your cars to a local show one day?

no I don't work in the insurance biz but I do understand how they are exposed to lialibilty......
