Calling everyone who can hear me!

I bought a 1968 unimog in Europe and will have it shipped soon to the U.S. of A. Trouble is that no insurance company I contacted so far wants to deal with that vehicle. May be I make the wrong statements and scare them instead of putting them at ease.

The vehicle should be insured as a classic because I do not want to use it for anything. Just enjoy putting around and make it look good and eventually present it at a show. I do not even want insurance against theft because of the low value and the difficulty to steal such a thing anyway. The radio truck is 10 ft. tall and does not fit into any garage so I would like to keep it at a guarded storage facility where they have boats and RVs.

How does that sound? Does anyone have insurance on a mog and let me in on what it takes to get the vehicle covered?

Thanks so much in advance,

Jo

Jo, contact Gulfway in the Tampa area. Guarantee they can insure it, they cover my junk that lives outside

Ditto on Gulfway... They are a really easy company to deal with and are very fair on prices!!!

I insured my 404 with State Farm in WV and Allstate in VA. No problems on either end and the rates were very cheap with liability and comprehensive. You just got to know how to talk to your agent.

I have my M725 and M35 with Hagerty. No off road, towing, ect and they are happy. About $130 a year with both insured for $5000 each.

Yeah, I think mine was under $200 with all the bells and whistles.

This can be tough. Your insurance agent and underwriter should have a classification for Mercedes benz, B Class or Mercedes Benz 4x4. They hear Unimog and think big heavy truck. If you have a 404 that is the easiest to insure, when you get into 1550, 1750 etc the heavier duty trucks then you have to get real creative.

Specialty insurance co's are just fine, however some are pretty adamant on excluding any sort of off-road use. Sort of defeats having a Unimog.


Just remember, Mercedes Benz 4x4, B class. 1.5 Ton pickup.


Cheers
