Insurance for your Skyline

[bobbo]

Well I have 3 cars and a house insured with them... Do you really thing they would be dumb enough not to renew me???

There's definitely some major benefit to being insured for a prolonged time, but I wonder what will happen to you guys at next renewal?

[bobbo]

How long have you been insured with them?

5 years on my 2 dailies and home and my GTR since I bought it in Sept of 2009.

im insured with state farm, 22, a single 15k over speeding ticket, no claims, and im $296 a month i believe.

I don't understand how so much business is being turned down. If one company was to start insuring RHD, they would make a killing.

I have similar thoughts.

If you are talking about a broker I would agree with you but for an insurance company/underwriter I disagree, the market is just too small for them. Think about it how many RHD cars do you see versus LHD? I would bet it is well under 1%, even 0.01%. As a result this does not net them very much market share.

On a related note does anyone know an actuary working at an Ontario insurance company? Perhaps they can explain the rationale behind not insuring RHD.

It's not suprising since The Personal (La Personnelle) is a subdivision of DesJardins that specializes in group insurance. It's the same company, it's only normal they would do the same as DesJardins.

As of November 20th The Personal no longer insures RHDs. We have other vehicles with them / when it came time to insure the GTS a couple of weeks ago - they said no. Hope you remain grandfathered or not impacted.

Looking at buying a skyline so called Lant insurance who does the silver wheel plan etc. They insure RHD vehicls, cant be your daily driver, and I think you might have to be over 25..... Anyways I use them now and there pretty cheap, maybe $300-$400 per year depending on the value of your vehicle.

I've got mine insured through the Personal. They give DND employees a discount. Good so far but haven't made a claim yet either.

What are the chances of anyone keeping their skyline stock though? :\
I mean you pretty much have to inform them when you've modified it or if you get in an accident or need to make a claim they can deny you and hopefully they won't deny people just for basic mods that they wouldn't on LHD vehicles like intake, headers and exhaust.

Terrible news.

Facility here I come...
