HMSA Group Insurance Program
EPIC has teamed with the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA) and with Chubb, one of the world’s top insurance providers and a leading underwriter of collector car coverage, to offer a comprehensive, cost-effective suite of insurance products available exclusively to HMSA members. In addition to some of the broadest coverage forms and policy terms available, the HMSA / Chubb program provides a number of unique features that can further drive down insurance costs for qualifying HMSA members. Don’t pass up the opportunity to consider this winning, high performance alternative to traditional insurance policies. Contact your independent Chubb-appointed agent, HMSA or EPIC today to learn more.
Since this is a group insurance program endorsed by HMSA solely for their members, you are able to join with and leverage the collective purchasing power of all participating HMSA members. Like you, other HMSA members are serious, responsible collectors and racers, so you know that those whose premium and losses go into the group are likely to produce better than average results. Because the risk is being spread across this larger base of quality participants, the rates and prices of the program are more competitive than one can achieve on an individual basis.
And unlike many other association or affinity group endorsed insurance programs, the HMSA program is an “open” group. Rather than being “exclusive” to a single agent or broker, the HMSA program can be accessed on your behalf by any Chubb-appointed agent (including EPIC, who is a preferred HMSA partner). Though we would welcome becoming your broker, you don’t have to change your existing insurance representative (assuming they are Chubb-appointed) in order to participate in and gain the advantages of the HMSA group.
For further information on the HMSA / Chubb program, please contact your independent Chubb-appointed agent, HMSA, Chubb or EPIC.
Private Client Services (Personal Insurance Portfolio)
EPIC’s Private Client Services Team understands the needs of car collectors and vintage motorsports racers. We have experienced professionals who are collectors and racers themselves - who both share and understand your passion and the risks associated with that passion. EPIC’s team will provide the proper protection and first class service to support it - including loss control services, personal risk mitigation advice, our quarterly newsletter and, in the event of a loss, hands on claims management advocacy and support.
Collector Car and Vintage Motorsports Coverage
Collector car enthusiasts and racers typically accumulate a wide range of valuable possessions and property – and with them substantial exposure to financial loss. Fine homes, rare and distinctive vehicles, fine art and jewelry collections, and aircraft and water craft are among the items acquired – too often without enough thought given to their value, protection and possible replacement. In addition, many people underestimate the ongoing income their families would need to live on comfortably without them. Fortunately, EPIC’s experienced and knowledgeable Private Client Services team can help you to thoroughly identify your personal exposures to loss and protect you and your family with a customized insurance portfolio and risk management plan.
EPIC’s consultative approach includes:
- Personalized “invest the time to understand the client’s needs and lifestyle” philosophy
- Comprehensive personal risk review and exposure analysis performed annually
- Identifying uncovered exposures and recommending practical, cost-effective solutions
- A strong focus on loss prevention and eliminating, reducing and transferring risk
- Design and delivery of a truly customized insurance portfolio
- Overseeing and managing all aspects of our client’s on-going personal insurance needs
- Dedicated in-house claims manager
- Complimentary background checks of private staff
Collectors Title Insurance
In today’s marketplace, the need for title insurance is becoming more and more important. EPIC is currently working on a cost effective insurance product to protect you against defective title exposures. For example, if you have paid $2M for chassis number 001 and ultimately find that your car is not chassis 001, or you have bought a car that was purportedly stolen 30 years ago, title insurance is your best answer for financial security and protection. We expect to have this product available in early 2012.
Motorsports Race Preparation and Restoration Insurance
Every vintage motorsports enthusiast knows the importance of restoration and repair shops and race prep shops and operations. EPIC has designed several custom programs that address the high value of customer vehicles in your possession and the risks associated with repairing and servicing these vehicles. Whether you are restoring a Bugatti or servicing a Group C car, we can provide you with the protection you need. When you have a problem, we will be there to take care of you and your customers.
