STAR INSURANCE’S TAKE ON ‘GET AROUND TO IT’
Owners of classic cars naturally want the best protection for their pride and joy. When it comes to choosing the best insurance, most companies provide the basics like good backing and adequate security ratings. So how then do you decide which to choose?
There are many things that we Kiwis will do when ‘we get around to it’: sanding and polishing the deck, taking your spouse on that long-overdue date night, or replacing the transmission and clutch in your restoration project. There’s always something that seems to challenge your attention and before you know it, ‘get around to it’ becomes ‘get away with it’, or ‘I wonder if I can get away with not doing that?’ Obviously, the answer is no.
Something that always gets relegated to the bottom of the pile, no matter how insignificant the things are that are piled on top of it, is doing a quick audit of your insurances. Yes, exciting stuff. But when was the last time you audited your insurances?
Even if you use a broker to sort your insurances, it’s always good to ask them to do a quick review of what’s out there in the market and what changes might have happened or be available to your existing policies. For instance, are you over-insuring your classic car? Have you got enough coverage in your policy to cover anything and everything that could cause damage or loss to your precious car? That kind of thing.
Summer, which often sees Kiwis relaxing in the garden, is a great time to get the wheels in motion and get around to checking that you have the best insurance possible for your classic car and anything else you insure.
Star Insurance Specialists has New Zealand’s leading classic car policy, called ‘Star Enthusiast Classic Car’. As they Star is a niche insurance specialist, it knows everything there is to know about insuring classic cars and what their owners desire. However, unlike many insurance providers, Star actively encourages its customers to check in regularly to ensure they have the best policy for their unique needs and are not paying too much for what they’re getting.
Oh, and if you have to decide between replacing that transmission and taking your spouse out on a date night, we know you’ll do the right thing.
