Vehicle Insurance...
I'm just wondering what other providers are doing when it comes to your transportation policies and vehicle insurance. I recently got a new vehicle and when I went to add it to our current policy, my insurance company said they couldn't cover it because, technically, its considered a commercial vehicle. The only way they would cover it was unless I followed a strict no transportation policy. At this time, I don't provide transportation for my families. For the most part, the only time we'd be going out would be to go to the store or the park. So what do you guys do? And, out of curiosity, someone mentioned having families sign a waiver stating they wouldn't sue in the event of an accident, if they wanted/needed their child transported. How viable is that?

My Insurance company allows me to transport the DCK's in the car with me. I did raise my limits to 1 Million for only a few extra dollars just to be sure I am covered. If you have 6 kids in your car things could get costly very quickly if there was an accident.

a wavier will do you no good. As Tom on the tax forum or go read his article.
I can not transport either and had to sign a paper stating I would not. Try state Farm They ins childcare so will likely have a policy to cover it. |

The only solution to your problem would be to find another insurance company that could happily serve you. I know there are some companies that has a minimum when it comes to holding policies so better ask around for another.

A few weeks ago I bought a new Honda pilot. When the finance company got the fax to prove coverage they were flabbergasted at all that was on there regarding information and amounts. I, like a previous poster, majorly upped my coverage amounts to cover myself, my two kids, and five more. It's one thing to have me and my two kids at a max of $300,000 but when there are 8 people total in a vehicle, the numbers have to be adjusted. |
