Hey I searched but can't find an answer (I can't search JDM as it is too short). I need to know the name of some companies that will insure JDM cars. I know there are lots out there, so if someone could give me some names it would be much appreciated.
I know I could look in the phone book and make calls, but I'm hoping someone has an easy answer. Thanks guys! |

Ummm yes. My mom and wife are also employed by them. But that doesn't mean they insure JDM cars (other than mine). |

They have been requiring appraisals lately. |

| My GTR is insured through AMA. I had it insured before they even knew what it was. It might be harder to get a JDM car insured than it was 2 years ago. :dunno: |

I have heard that AMA will not insure Skylines in particular at some establishments. But "heard" is different than "knowing"for a fact, I just know some friends got turned away before they could finish their first sentence. |

thats a tough call as im with AMA, but i actually canceled my insurance on the skyline with them because of their lack of coverage available and higher costs in general |

| my insurance broker told me that since those new insurance laws came in effect a few years ago, every insurance company MUST insure any vehicle as long as it passes inspection and you have a fairly good driving record. Now that is only for PLPD. I asked about collision insurance and my company wanted 360 degrees of pictures + under the hood pics and possibly even put it on a dyno. Anything more then PLPD is up to the insurance company. |

Part of that is going to depend on who you are.
A 17 year old kid (male) walks into the AMA and wants to insure a Skyline GT-R, and he's going to get shot down. A 30 something with a clean driving record, and they'll talk.
My sister's insurance company told her that they wouldn't cover a Civic. Go figure. |

I've had insurance co's shoot down my wife and her car, she's a 6 or 7star(whichever) driver, no accidents, one ticket in the past 6 years, she drives a Neon R/T and they shot it down cause it has a CAI on it. |

| i can't see any insurance company refusing PL/PD on any car for any reason. i'm not sure if it is legal to refuse based on the new grid system in place. |

The story I was told was they didn't insure modified cars, I told them if was for fuel milage, cause it sure doesn't add any HP(well nothing that makes an actual difference)
I dunno they prolly figure modified cars are a higher risk for Liability... :dunno: |
