Default Check with your Insurance Carrier first!

I was going to tow my Cobra home from ERA, also. It was about seven years ago, but the weather was just about like this - pretty "iffy" in the snow belt. I called my insurance company, State Farm, and asked if my insurance would cover this $30k load of "parts" (an FIA roller) in-transit in an enclosed trailer. "No!" was the answer - they would not consider it a "car", or COVERED, until it was completely assembled, titled, and registered.

That's when I decided to go with ERA's regular transportation carrier, Intercity Lines. The move was smooth and uneventful - they did a really nice job (and THEY provided the insurance coverage).

That ultimately led me to looking for other avenues for insurance. I selected Parish, who WOULD insure my unfinished "pile of parts" during the 18 month construction phase. Both choices worked well for me.

BTW, my ERA FIA fits comfortably in an 18' enclosed trailer. I'd guess you'd want a 20' or maybe 24' to carry the car with boxes of parts.

Good Luck with your car!
