It's common for insurance companies to require inside storage for a collector car and to "assume" that your daily driver must be newer. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.kegkits.com www.grow-sun.com

Recently I tried to get collector car insurance for my 1992 600SEL. Three potential carriers turned my down due to my not guarantee it being stored inside a garage and the fact that my daily driver cars (1988 fox and two 1987 Vanagons) were older. The campers are singled out as they have additional risks, even though they may not be covered. When you and your camper occupy a site, just like renting an apartment you are now liable for anything that happens on that site. My motorhome insurance has that coverage listed.

You can get collector care insurance for an '84 vanagon' ? but not an 84 Westphalia Vanagon ? doesn't sound right. Wonder what your DMV's defenition of 'excursion' is. scott On 6/28/2012 1:55 PM, Stuart MacMillan wrote: > No mileage limit, just can't be used for "regular transportation", > i.e., daily driver.
