Issues with Foremost. Who will insure my SSR?

dh · 11-12-2022, 07:59 AM

I've have my SSR insured by Foremost Insurance since I bought it in 2014. They just sent me a brief note and a refund check, saying my policy is cancelled. I called and apparently it's because they couldn't read the date on one of the docs I signed for them recently to renew. And they skimped me on the refund for the prorated premium I had already paid. I usually pay the whole year in advance and have never been late. They say I have to request a new policy and start over so I'm very frustrated.

My premium had been steadily dropping with them over the years and I was paying $150 per year for full coverage. Now they want over $400 and they are giving me a hard time about the make/model. I've been happy with Foremost until this point. Anyone have suggestions on other companies insuring chinabikes?

Sounds like the insurance company figured out they were loosing money and that there little scam to get more money out of you.

Geico had by far the best rates when I checked around. I have a KPX 250 and have liability, property, uninsured motorist and $2000 medical (to cover copays) and no collision or comprehensive since parts are relatively cheap and I pay $70/yr.

Having sold property and vehicle insurance in the past, I know that Foremost is generally an insurer of last resort. So I am thinking either that you initially wound up at the wrong insurer, or we are not getting the full story...

Same for me, $70.

They are owned by Farmers, who I had my homeowners and cars bundled with for discounts. Yes, Foremost wouldn't give me much info when I called, and just said it was the brokers fault and to call them. I recently switched from a Farmers broker to Good Sam, maybe that got them mad?
