Absolutely, 100% not the case. Say you live in NJ and you come here to the Museum, or to Carlisle, or a pleasure trip and you stay at a hotel. You will be 100% covered.

We are an agent for American Modern and other carriers. We are a very high volume agent for them, and make sure our customers are taken care of.

So let me get this straight: If I call NCM for a policy I get a policy with some other insurance company because NCM doesn't issue insurance policies. The policy might be with
American Modern or some other company that NCM is an agent for but not an actual NCM policy... Hmmm. I'll bet if this is correct that few are aware of it... I certainly wasn't.

We are a Collector Vehicle specific insurance agency. Much like any of the other names you may know in the CV world. We are just ultra high volume. We have never hidden this. It’s on our website, on our brochures, etc. it would be far too costly to develop a new program, file with each department of insurance, handle and process claims, etc. All of our paper (apps, quotes, policy declarations, etc) clearly state this.

I'm amazed that you don't understand how insurance agents function. One of our members here had an issue with his insurance company so we all should avoid that company? Seriously?
You don't have to do business with the NCM, if you choose not to. There are other insurers.

I don't know where you get the impression that I am denigrating NCM. I never said for anyone to avoid any particular insurance company. I simply wanted to clarify what function NCM was involved in. Seller of policies or merely an agent FOR insurance companies.
And I'm completely aware how agents and companies interact. Apparently many others are not, thinking that NCM was the insurance company and not the agent...

From reading posts over the years, I for one certainly thought it was an insurance company. Too many posts saying "I have a policy with NCM", I guess.

That is 100% true by saying “I have a policy with NCM.” We represent the customer in the event of a loss and we are needed. Our customers are generally satisfied with the service that we provide to them. We are quick and efficient with handling their needs.

I agree. I read the quoted passage below a few months ago and did not remember it correctly. the wording is lawyerly and why is it written like this. So what does this mean?

"The occasional pleasure use definition no longer includes a vehicle temporarily left un-garaged for less than 24 consecutive hours on the residence premises. Also, the vehicle may be located at a temporary lodging of the named insured, however this does not include a residence premises of the named insured".

What it is saying is that the vehicle can be left outside of a garage at your primary residence if less than 24 hours. Also, it is saying that if you are not at your residence (hotel) you are fine.

Previously the policy said that if it was at your residence it needed to be in your garage.

This is less restrictive.
