Erwin,

Thanks for sharing my e-mail with everyone in the forum.

Sorry if I may of offended you with my offer for $175 to use your car for one day. I think the price that you want ($800-$1000) is very steep price to pay for a one day use to drive it less than 60 miles.

I would like to offer $200 to anyone interested for a one day use with less than 60 miles. I will have in the contract "I will be responsible and pay for any damages to the car during use including deductable"

Acccording to insurance company. The car is still cover if a person "borrowing" does not live under the same address and is not excluded in in the policy. I also have car insurance from AAA that will cover rental.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_insurance

In the United States, liability insurance covers claims against the policy holder and generally, any other operator of the insured vehicles, provided they do not live at the same address as the policy holder, and are not specifically excluded on the policy. In the case of those living at the same address, they must specifically be covered on the policy. Thus it is necessary, for example, when a family member comes of driving age they must be added to the policy. Liability insurance sometimes does not protect the policy holder if they operate any vehicles other than their own. When you drive a vehicle owned by another party, you are covered under that party
Here's the real skinny on this:
My wife Kim who is a multi personal lines insurance agent writes standard auto & specialty auto policies.
"An individual receiving monetary compensation for use of an insured's vehicle for other than private use, claim coverage will be denied, your policy will be cancelled and the cost to obtain coverage though a high risk policy will be excessive".
Kenny,
If I lived in the area and I had a black speedster, I'd loan it to you at no charge - as long as I was invited to the wedding. ;)
There's been a few people that have come on this site and asked about renting speedsters for various reasons and most of them sounded like scam artists. Stick around a while and show everyone this is different.
If you do, maybe one of your new speedster buddies will be happy to help you out.
The lovely Kim, bride and TRUE better half to our good friend Al, is correct. But so are those that say there will be coverage.

How can that be?

Policy terms and conditions will vary from insurer to insurer. The bottom line here is...you have to read YOUR policy.

One of the most broadly used standardized auto policies in the US will provide coverage in this situation. This is a policy that is used by many personal auto insurers. I won't mention names because I don't want this to sound like advice or an interpretaion from my company. But I know coverage is there because I used to manage the product and the staff that wrote the language. I still work at the company. And I bounced this off my successor before I sat down to pen this already too long missive.

So long as you are not regularly renting your car out or in the business of renting the car out, most liability policies will cover you and the driver. Your Collision and Comprehensive coverage will also apply should there be damage to the vehicle.

Again, you need to read YOUR policy, two sections in particular. The "Liability Coverage Agreement" (or words to that effect) and the "Liability Exclusions".

In addition, the driver's own insurance policy will provide him/her bodily injury liability coverage for the use of the non-owned auto (your car, which he/she does not own). However, in this case, if the driver is also liabile for damage to the car itself, the "standard" liability coverage will not respond. But your insurance will.

I'll repeat the bottom line, insurance policies vary. I am confident with what I just wrote with respect to the "standard" auto policy provisions. But my only concrete advice to you is...read your policy before you do this. especially if you have a collector, antique or other specialty insurance policy.
Terry,
Definately would not mind at all having you at our wedding. Too bad for me you're located up North.

Paul,
Thanks for the insight.

Lazy8,
Thanks for your offer. I really appreciated! I could definately have our photographer take some photos of just your car.

The wedding date is still a long way from now, November 27th 2009. It will be held in Fountain Valley, CA.

Do you have photos?
