Your Questions Answered.
There are a lot of agents who say they know cars, but how many of them really do? How many specialize in just cars for serious enthusiasts? We’re experts because it’s all we do.
No! We don’t mark up the cost or charge any additional fees. The price you pay with us is the same as you’d pay with the carrier directly but with the advantage of having an advocate that works for you and helps you navigate. We will do our best to make sure you have the best coverage at the best prices available.
In select states we have carrier programs for daily driven JDM vehicles. Please request a quote and we’ll be glad to discuss the options available to you.
In most cases and states we operate in we can help you understand premiums or even potentially obtain coverage before you’ve taken possession of the imported vehicle, generally targeting the date it has arrived. Please request a quote and tell us more. The closer it is to your arrival date, the more accurate and/or further into the process we may be able to go. However, we may be able to help you understand some of the coverage options before you purchase, which is generally recommended.
We may have an option available depending on your specifics, including gray market imports. However, we will need details on how the vehicle was imported.
Most agents don’t know how to write imported car insurance. A common “trick” they will try is to just write it as some random model car. We do not use or recommend this approach. You may have problems maintaining coverage, you could have problems if you have a claim and you are unlikely to get anything like the real value of your vehicle in the event of a loss.
We are not a carrier. We are agents who help match enthusiasts with underwriting companies. We have over a dozen specialty enthusiast insurance carriers. Your typical agent may only have 1-2 and may only place a handful of enthusiast cars a year. We place 100s!
Yes! We have partners who actively want JDM import business and seek out those kinds of cars to cover. Short VIN, many gray market or just about other kind of import. And while we can help ensure you have coverage, we cannot guarantee your state will accept your registration for non-insurance reasons.
Yes! We can help with insurance for Kei cars and trucks. And while we can help ensure you have coverage, we cannot guarantee your state will accept your registration for non-insurance reasons.
Yes! Depending on your use and situation we help all kinds of non-typical enthusiast and collector cars get coverage.
