Foremost Insurance Accepts Scooter Business; Offers More Coverage to Meet Rising Trend

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan –Now more than ever in a climate of spiking gas prices, people are looking for lower cost, more fuel efficient ways to get around. A leading specialty insurer is moving with this trend and providing insurance for drivers taking to the streets on two wheels instead of four.

Foremost Insurance has a program designed for scooters. Whether it’s a Honda^® or Yamaha^®, Vespa^®  or Piaggio^®, Foremost will accept the risk. In addition, they’ll write Liability Only and Liability and Physical Damage when many companies will not.

“With scooter sales up by 24% countrywide (in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period a year ago), we’re filling a niche for people turning to alternative transportation,” says Brian Otolski, Director of Product Management, Foremost, citing a recent statistic from the Motorcycle Industry Council. “We’ll write scooters from most manufacturers,” says Otolski. “A Foremost policy includes several benefits when Physical Damage coverage is purchased such as Optional Equipment, Safety  Apparel and Towing and Roadside Assistance. We also offer Total Loss Replacement coverage.”
