Does anyone know where I can find a true occasional use policy
in Canada?
Currently I have my car and Westy insured. Car is used throughout the
year. I just looked through the past five years of logs, and Westy
is used from 1-3weeks (ie my vacation and occasional weekend).
Yet my insurance company (Wavanesa) charges more or less the same for both.
(ok its $100 less, 500 for Westy and 600 for car (Vibe), but thats
only a 20% rebate for a 95% reduction in used days. Not fair!
But insurance agents I call seem clueless at understanding the
difference.

Restrictions like these would be fine with me if it mean I paid for the
true risk of the occasional weekend/vacation drive in the countryside
instead of being fleeced for more or less the same amount as a daily
driver in the city.
Anyone knows who I should contact in Canada for true occasional use
insurance? (I tried calling the Westy an RV but they didn't go for that)
Thanks,
Martin
