Insurance advice when lending your cars to international guests  - Added August 2011

If you are lending your vintage vehicle to one of our international guests, it is essential that you touch base with your insurance company to make sure it will still be covered.  In most instances, nothing will need to be changed to your policy but it is a good thing to let the company know what you’re intending to do!  While every insurance policy and company will be slightly different, these are things you will need to consider.

 

Open driver or named drivers? Most insurance policies for vintage vehicles are open driver policies.  But, if you have restricted your policy to a few named drivers it doesn’t mean you can’t lend your vehicle to one of our guests—you will need to talk to your insurance company though!   Often they will simply require a background check on the driver (claims, driving offences and convictions, etc.) and if their record is promising they can be added to the policy for the duration of the rally.

 

High value vehicles—most insurance companies limit the drivers on particularly high value vehicles.  If in doubt, check it out!

 

International driver excess—some insurance companies may increase the excess (the first portion of a claim that the policyholder pays) for international guests—but not all.  It’s wonderful to be able to extend the joy of the rally to those who have to leave their vehicles at home and we’d love you to consider it. If you do decide to lend your vehicle we want to make sure you are fully covered, so please make contact with your insurer and update them with your plans. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
