Insurance coverage

[Brock J]

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I am looking for insurance for my tracked vehicle, has anyone had success in having legitimate coverage?
My current (historic vehicle) insurance provider in Ontario, Canada, is not interested in underwriting my vehicle.

Thx, Brock

that's pretty much everything I ever got as well

In BC we have a number of licensed carriers, M5 tractor and at least 6 or so half-tracks. Vintage plates only with limited use.

Link above is who I use for my T-16 Universal Carrier and other vintage vehicles that have tyres. They have no issues with the carrier being tracked and having no title since it isn't a street vehicle down here. USAA Insurance is linked to them as well but you don't have to be a USAA member to use them. I've had one claim in the past ten years with my jeep so I know they will pay when needed and don't drop you or jack up your rates just because you used your policy.

Being insured against loss is one thing, but liability is probably more important given the possibility of running something/someone over that gets into your blind spots. Thankfully I haven't had that happen yet.

I take it you mean Haggerty/Silver Wheels?

Have you tried to contact Hagerty directly.

If you go to their web site you should get the phone number. Avoid anything with silver wheels in the name.

[Brock J]

yes ... apparently Lant (AVIVA) don't do tracks.
.... and having 6 vehicles (no claims) with them for 25 years didn't help.
I will try contacting Haggerty direct as suggested.
I believe I could do the snowmobile thing, but would prefer insuring it as a historic collectable.

I welcome your replies / suggestions

thanks, Brock

Dear All,

Lant and Haggerty eh?

Well, pull up a pew.

Lant offers a product that is sold by others as well and things have changed quite a bit over a short amount of time.

From my discussions with Ms Julie Lant periodic appraisals are no longer required. I do know that she has said the industry is getting leaner and margins are getting thinner and what Haggerty offers in the USA is not the same as what is offered up north in Canada.

I have to do more research.

I do know that Haggerty in the USA do not require an ownership for a vehicle to be insured but I am fairly sure Lant do and also want a photograph and I am aware of one tracked vehicle in Ontario that currently is insured for the road.
