A real cliff hanger. Can I get car insurance.?

I live in an area that's falling into the sea. The surveyors say my garage will fall into the sea within the next 3 years. Do you think I need to declare this to my car insurer, and can someone let me know if any company will cover me please? Thanks, x

Think about it, if someone told you that they where going to rob you, would you give them the keys to your house?

They may say that knowing the garage was going to dissapear and then parking it there that the loss was inevitable and not an accident

It's like putting your car in a crusher and trying to claim it was accidental

I think you better find a new home first. That sounds terrible sorry. I think your insurer will probably charge you a fortune.

I don't think car insurance would help you if your garage slipped into the sea.
I'm not sure if Home owners will even cover you in this case.

I cant see them paying out

No, you will not be covered, you have to make "reasonable efforts to ensure the cars safety". Leaving it in a garage thats gearing up for a swim is not "reasonable effort."

and yes, you'll need to tell your insurance company.

isn't the car insurance the least of your worries ?

Best of luck with it.

You will receive no compensation if this happens. Home Owners insurance does not cover "insurable vehicles". This includes cars, boats, ATV's and motorcycles.

its against the law to give a another address ,unless you are living there .Its no good pleading dumb after the fact wont get you nowhere
its best if you can get a safe place to park away from your house and tell the insurance company otherwise you could be (pardon the pun) in the drink if it happens


welcome news

I suppose in theory you have to tell an insurance company (utmost good faith) but I don't think there will be any problems - you're not mad enough to park the car on the top of a cliff when a storm is approaching surely? Similarly you will have a good ide when the garage will fall into the sea and keep the car away from it.

I wouldn't even tell the car insurance carrier about it - they don't have anything to do with it. Your homeowner's insurance would cover it, if it went with the house into the sea.
Just make sure that your homeowner's insurance has the correct coverage to replace your car if it gets destroyed in or by the home.
