In this week’s InTouch Insurance Show, Dave Ferderer and I discussed the importance of insuring more than just your cars and your home. With summer just around the corner and the weather getting warmer, some need to consider shopping around for the proper insurance coverage on specialty items such as boats, motorcycles, ATVs, RVs, dune buggies, trailers, haulers and other recreational vehicles.
Following are some points to keep in mind regarding boat insurance:
1) Coverage – including personal effects on water towing, etc.
2) Agreed Value vs. Actual Cash Value (ACV)
3) Waters navigated
4) Engine size
5) Trailer
6) Perils covered
7) Live aboard
8) Boating experience and training
9) Safety tips
Here are some things to consider for other specialty items such as motorcycles, ATVs and dune buggies:
1) Coverage
2) Street bikes vs. Cruisers
3) Pricing
4) Perils covered
5) Usage
6) Cycle training and experience
7) Safety tips
For bigger vehicles such as RVs, trailers and haulers, there are also some important items to consider:
1) Coverage
2) Difference among RV types (Class A, B, C, haulers, etc.)
3) Agreed Value vs. ACV
4) Perils covered
5) Usage impact rate
6) Full-timers liability
