Update...Insuring your truck...a note of caution.

[fastom]

I wanted to give an update on my insurance purchase.

I received insurance quotes from three company's, Grundy, Hagerty, and American Collector. Two vehicles, my 1968 C-10 and my 1958 Chevy Biscayne. The C-10 with an agreed value of $50K, the 1958 Biscayne with an agreed value of $25k. The quotes were $585, $555, and $645 respectfully.

I contacted Barrett Jackson Insurance and received a quote from them.

The quote was $378 for the same coverage with no usage restrictions. I went with Barrett Jackson.

Soooo how long has Barrett Jackson been insuring vehicles? I wonder if they are an agent for one of the other Insurance companies? Google time...

Tom,
I checked out the link and I'm interested but I didn't see anything on driving restrictions. The price they quoted me was very low and I signed up for an agent to contact me. Just wondered where you found the info on the unlimited driving you mentioned. Thanks for posting the link. I had no idea that Barrett-Jackson was even an option.

I talked to an agent today, asked lots of questions. She told me they had no restrictions.

I just did an estimate and for $30,000 covarage my annual cost would be $206. I will be giving them a call also to ask some questions. Again thanks for the heads up on Barrett Jackson Insurance.

Did they give you a reason? Just kind of curious, I see a ton of Wally World campers. Vandalism maybe? Wal-Mart drivers?

[diggertodd]

They did not spell it out entirely, i just assume that everything from 3am drunks to errant shopping carts has the insurance companies not liking WalMart parking lots. If you look at about every light pole in a WallyMart lot, they have a very extensive "we are not responsible" sign that must have teeth against the insurance companies. A friend with a different carrier said he got the same notice for his RV policy.

which is no big deal for me because I was tired of the dudes in their zoom-zoom cars impressing me with their burnouts when they see the race car rig....at 4 am...

X2. I also have State Farm and I can drive whenever and wherever. Maybe it's different for me as I drive my truck daily. I have mine insured for a stated value and an apprasial to match. I pay a bit more for full coverage and it's worth it. You never know what will happen.
