When I switched to a classic car carrier (Silver Wheels through Lant & Co.
in Ontario), my rates for two Triumphs for 12 months were the same as I
paid to a regular carrier for one Triumph for 6 months. Not only that, but
despite thinking that after 33 years with that car, I was covered for
everything. The appraiser (a requirement of the new policy) indicated that
if my garage were to have burned down with both cars inside, with my old
policy I would likely have received more money for my tools than for the
two cars!
