Ontario Insurance companies that insure RHDs...as of today

[MKIV]

I'm listening. What's the first step of action?

[MKIV]

....insurance company of British Columbia?

I think that was a slight give away, fail on my end...

[MKIV]

What's ICBC and what's the rates like?

[carson686]

wow did not know this

i would say move to BC. lol ICBC insures any car (legal car)

I have to disagree, the RHD population as stated many times before makes us less than 0.1% (If I had to throw a guess out). The risk factor involved opposed to the income/profit made is almost a break even point.

I'm not against it, I would love an insurance company to step up to the plate, but it just doesn't seem like it will happen.

Help up RightDrive

Let me clarify...the way I think they would make the money is from people like me. I brought all my business to my current insurance company because they took my Pajero, and the rates are actually great.
They're now getting the money for that, my wife's car, our house, and before I sold them, my boats.
Thats my thought. Any company that will insure these, would get that persons other business as well, you think?
I think most people who are insuring a RHD have other things to insure as well.
The "youngins" who are only insuring 1 car and thats it, I believe are still the minority with RHD, thus the profits a company would make off of people with more "insurables" should make up for that minority.

I hope you guys calling Lant realize you have to have 10 years experience and ANOTHER VEHICLE AS YOUR DD.
It's a CLASSIC/COLLECTORS car policy, not DD.
Hopefully nobody fucks this one up for us too.........

And I second RightDrive doing something here, either supporting a new insurance company or starting an insurance "division" or something along those lines.....
Any new company who insures these things would make a killing. All they would have to do is offer a "bring all your business to us and we'll insure your RHD" policy.
Someone would be rich.

I've said this once and I'll say it again, this insurance mess in Ontario is almost as bad as a RHD ban altogether.

I say RightDrive should step forward and become an insurance company

"RightDrive Insurance Group" - Great success!

im with state farm, i was told that now if you have a rhd policy with them, they will continue to cover it. you cannot walk in the door and insure one with them anymore, and if your policy lapses or you miss a payment etc they will discontinue your policy and you cannot get it back. i was paying 300 a month, but now if i want my skyline insured as my primary its 581 a month. if i keep my skyline insured as a secondary vehicle and drive my blazer as primary it remains at 300 a month for the skyline, and 250 for my blazer. go figure.

Good deal, 550 for 2 better than 581 for 1 xD

Im on the same boat, i got a quote with the personal at 203/month and then once i bought the car, i called back and they backed out. leaving me down $7000. hopefully 2012 brings some better news in ins. does lant insure secondary drivers under 25?

I just read through 27 pages but this article posted by daryl has given me a bit of hope...maybe sometime in the future i can have a skyline and still pay a reasonable rate per month.

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

We got to make a list of the companies that have closed their doors to Skylines.

That would be a long list! Hopefully things are going to turn around when the insurance companies realize how much they are going to lose.

Not sure if you guys saw Michael's article in Canadian Underwriters magazine.
RightDrive is doing it's best to convince insurance companies that this is a market they cannot afford to ignore.

[trickey1991]

problem is they dont do Daily drivers, only "occasionally driven vehicles, ex: driven to meets etc" or do they offer more than whats on the site?

Just got my quote for next years insurance, 250$/yr with lant
