New member needs help

[damiant]

new member, i have been running up against a brick wall trying to get temp insurance to get a school bus from VA to NC. Any suggestion???

Double-check your existing auto policy - a good number of them will temporarily cover new purchases for up to 30 days regardless of type.

I used a commercial policy IIRC, it was through Progressive. I do remember having some trouble finding an agent who wanted to cover it, but the local progressive office came through at the last minute.

I switched to commercial for private use when I got it home and had time to shop around. Got that through National General, but it was also underwritten by Progressive.

I had no problem getting "commercial vehicle for private use" insurance through my current State Farm agent.


Sometimes YOU have to tell them "commercial vehicle for private use" or they get that deer in the headlights look in their eyes...

Call Kelly Newsome from All State. You can search for her info on here. She will get you in touch with an agent in your area and you will have insurance same day.

i have mine through NATIONWIDE in NC and it is just a phone call for me.
my original bus is insured as a bus for personal use and for the one i purchased and picked up today was just a phone call earlier this week with the VIN number to get a letter of insurance coverage with no problems before i ever purchased it.
