New insurer offers fair go for car enthusiasts

Enthusiast Underwriting's Limited Recreation policy gives Sunday drivers a better rate

Owners of 'Sunday cars' rejoice! Australia's newest specialist vehicle insurer, Enthusiast Underwriting, is offering its new Limited Recreation policy for cars games of any age that are driven on a limited basis.

Offering 60 days cover per year, the policy allows club-level premiums for owners of less frequently used vehicles, provided the vehicle is securely stored in a locked garage when it's not being driven.

The policy can save drivers of weekend cars up to 60 per cent on the everyday premium for the same vehicle.

"There are thousands of later-model cars all over Australia that are rarely used but owners are still paying full price for their registration and insurance," explained Enthusiast Underwriting's marketing manager, Cliff Chambers.

"Owners of pre-1980 models can access cheap registration and insurance through 'club' schemes, but there is no relief for those with newer cars

"Someone with a ten year-old performance car might be paying $1000 or more to insure it on full rates, but under a Limited Recreation policy it can be covered for less than half that amount."

Enthusiast also offer great savings of fully-registered older models which receive the added benefit of excess-free glass cover and automatic salvage retention at no extra charge.

Coverage is also offered to modified vehicles and show cars which are often declined by mainstream insurers.
