I recently shopped auto insurance. There are now policy carriers that refuse to insure Kia and Hyundai for a new policy. It has been one of the very first questions a rep asks so they can figure out if the call needs to be ended right away.
Can’t get them insured at all? Why wouldn’t they offer liability, collision, and comprehensive (except vandalism) and just deny theft/vandalism coverage?
Because they are being used to joyride, often causing property damage, wrecks to other vehicles and all that. The owner’s insurance is usually made to cover it even though they weren’t driving.
Good to know. Hopefully sticking with my current carrier works…
