Give Primmum Insurance a call. 1-866-454-8911

I had no trouble getting full coverage from them.

Every year when I renew I shop around, and I have never had any insurance company tell me they won't insure RHD.

there are 2 companies which have been easy to deal with and offered decent rates:
1) TD Meloche Monex (or simply TD Insurance) they quote me every year and have no issues with RHD.
2) Johnson Inc. I never used to recommend them just based on their customer service, but that seems to have drastically improved in the past year or so, they have consistently been the lowest price for me, however different people may have different results.

I also have been quoted with AMA, however they quoted almost double what I pay currently.
And the absolute worst quote I received was from Canada Direct, They didn't mention any issue with RHD, however it took a lot of back and forth arguing over the course of a week to convince them that my VIN was in fact my actual VIN, and that it didn't need to be 17 digits long. at the end of the whole mess they quoted me approximately double what AMA wanted (or almost 4 times what I pay now!)

I currently have liability as well as theft/fire/vandalism, I have not asked for collision protection as I believe that it is far better for me to self insure on that one. however all of the companies were willing to quote for full coverage.

Sorry to dig up a dead thread, but I am just starting the process of owning a Delica in Alberta and I was just wondering if the same companies for insurance are still offering reasonable deals on Delica insurance in Edmonton, or if their are any new ones to look for. Where is a good shop for an OOP inpection in Edmonton? Any tips aside from those listed here in the thread would be greatly appreciated. I am nervous about getting hung up on all the hoops to jump through, but I can't wait to get a Delica! I have had conversations with Mardy (amazing amount of knowledge and expertise) to help track down the one I am looking for. Just begining to think about the leg-work needed. Thanks.
