High Risk Car Insurance For Race Car Drivers?

Reader’s Question:

Do race car drivers fall under the high-risk category? What type of insurance coverage would suit them better?

Race car drivers can be regarded as high risk drivers, considering they are always facing risky situations when they are about to do their job – which is racing. But come to think of it, race car drivers are professionals and are more disciplined in doing their job. Shouldn’t they be regarded as the safest drivers the world over instead?

For race car drivers, insurance companies tailor a specialized coverage a (high risk car insurance) that would best fit their job description. An insurer refers to it as Racing Car Insurance. As race car drivers or race car owners, they find their racing car as some sort of investment. To them, it means a lot, and highly valued because they put a lot of efforts and expenses on their car. Insuring their car would mean a lot to them. However, it is hard to find high risk insurance because very few specialized insurance companies can tailor the policy to such demands. Plus, many companies do not want to risk their business considering insuring a race car, as it would be a pretty expensive deal. It would demand a host of coverages that maybe only big companies could afford. Comprehensive and collision plans/policy are nowhere near that of an ordinary car insurance policy, and their policy limits go way over the roof – because racing is a big business. The insured parties do all they can to protect their investments, and insurance companies in turn do all they can to cover for all claims and losses.

Accidents happen frequently in the racing field and claims pile up. Insurance companies generally would offset this by setting higher premiums. Getting insurance for race drivers depends on who’s driving. If they rarely crash, then they might enjoy relatively lower rates. Always remember the rule that the greater the risk an insurance carrier has to take, the higher the rates that would reflect that risk.

Car Insurance for 17 Year Old Driver

Question: How does one go about obtaining car insurance for a 17 year old driver in Dallas, without paying an arm and a leg?

Comment: I think this is a super question to inquire about your teen driver. At 17 years of age this teenage driver can not legally enter a contract since they are not considered an adult. I would assume that most teenage drivers would be considered “safe” drivers they are still not old enough to sign the insurance contract.

I would also assume that most insurance companies would require a parent and or a legal gaurdian to sign the contract and to be financially responsible for the vehicle and the driver’s actions.

I would start off your investigation by making a few phone calls the local insurance carriers in your area and get their opinion on this question.

I really do not see why you could not get decent coverage for your teen driver, but a better question might be are you going to be able to afford this type of coverage?

You might also want to contact the Dallas car insurance bureau or DMV to ask them if there are any restrictions for obtaining Dallas auto insurance in your area or specific situation.

What is Collector Car Insurance?

Reader question:

What is collector car insurance?

Great question.

Collector car insurance is a type of insurance that applies to car that are antiques, specialty in some way, often older and high performance cars. This type of car insurance has been on the market for about fifty years, but even with that length of time it is still not as widely spread as it should be. In fact, the majority of drivers who own collector cars are insured with a regular car insurance company instead of with the insurance companies that specialize in collectible and high performance vehicles. And then there is also a significant number of drivers in this group who are self insured.

However, getting your collector car insurance through a company that specializes with those types of cars is much cheaper in the long run. The reason for this is because the insurance from a regular company can often cost five times as much as it would from a collector company, and the policies from a regular company don’t really fit the use typical of a collector car, and often don’t provide for the care and coverage that it needs.
