The Bear Valley Triathlon on Sunday Sept 6th is lots of fun with all the swim-bike-run distances being fairly short.
It’s a great to see BV Village and enjoy their little lake.
Yep, we were dropped by Liberty over the summer, too. Moved over to AAA (EVERYTHING: San Jose home, all our cars, liability insurance and the Big Trees cabin). Good for AAA, bad for Liberty.
The cabin, though, got insured through Lloyds, too, as others have done. Be “non-admitted” in Ca is not a big deal, especially for a big name like Lloyds.
Not sure where you live, but the AAA branch in Palo Alto did it all for us and were very professional. In the end, all our insurance policies were cheaper from AAA than from Liberty (exact 1:1 insurance policies).We also jumped through hoops to obtain fire insurance for our recent Truckee purchase. State Farm referred us to a local insurance broker who found a policy through Scottsdale Insurance https://www.scottsdaleins.com/web/public/. We landed with Hartford and needed to insure the other properties/cars to receive a discounted rate which is less than our current State Farm rate with better coverage. To note, some insurance companies are “non-admitted” insurance (including Lloyds) and claim coverage and compliance is not governed by the state of CA.
Do check with AAA. Within the last year they covered my cabin and I do not have any other insurance with them. They insured it through Loyd’s of London.
There is also a state risk poll for those who can’t get fire insurance.
I Have AAA for both cars, house and cabin, but I’m not sure if they’ll still cover a cabin. Sort of grandfathered in maybe.
Check with Costco….we have all insurance through them including our primary residence, cabin, autos, umbrella liability.
What a timely post! I am in the process of purchasing a cabin in Big Trees Village and am having trouble finding a carrier who will write a homeowners policy due to the fire danger. So far I have tried State Farm (my primary carrier), Farmers, Barlocker (broker) and Vantreo (broker). Vantreo did provide a quote, but it was very high. If anyone can provide a referral, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
We’ve been advised that Liberty Mutual is using an updated map and our cabin in BTV is now in a fire brush zone that they will no longer provide insurance in. Has anyone received a notice from other carriers that their insurance will not be renewed? We are in search of a new policy if you have any recommendations regarding service and cost.
