Can Castle Insurance Offer Coverage for High Value Vehicles?

2020 Motor Trend Car of the Year

The short answer is “YES”! We have several clients that have the more expensive vehicles insured with Castle Insurance. No matter if you prefer German imports or a car made right here in the Bluegrass, Castle Insurance can write a policy for you.

I’d like to invite you to read an article from one of our clients. He is a member of the Bluegrass Region Porsche Club of America and the editor of their monthly magazine.

Bluegrass Region Porsche Club of America – The Editor’s Desk

by Kevin Vrbanacpublished in August 2020

BASED ON THIS month’s content, it looks like the Bluegrass Region decided it was time to get out and drive in the month of July. And I don’t know about you, but that makes me extremely happy. If there’s one thing I love to see, it’s our members and their Porsche’s in their natural habitat. Whether its on the back roads or the race track, these cars are made to be driven. Actually, they deserve to be driven. So don’t deprive your car of it’s purpose! Instead, follow the lead of the Bluegrass Region Members who contributed to this month’s Rumble and get out there and drive!

As you already know, our Monthly Cars & Coffee and Socials are back in full swing, albeit with masks and social distancing. If you weren’t able to make it last month, our events chair, Larry Dukes, takes us through what you may have missed at our recent event at Hall’s on the River and our July C&C. As crazy as it sounds, fall is right around the corner, so make sure you’re enjoying these events while the weather is still favorable for us. The Board is staying close to local regulations and we’re doing everything we can to keep our members safe. Check out the calendar for upcoming events, but we’ll be hosting our monthly Social and C&C for the foreseeable future.

Next up is a story that I’m particularly excited about, because it’s all about my recent journey to Road Atlanta for SCCA’s Track Night in America. Region Member Gregg Morton Jr, Region Sponsor Steve Castle (of Castle Insurance) and I headed down to Georgia last month to check out this event, and more importantly, check this track off of our bucket lists. Read on to hear all about my personal experience, and to learn more about Track Night, which is a great event for anyone who is looking to get into track days, but isn’t quite sure where to start.

You may have noticed that I referenced a new sponsor, and you’ll see a new ad in the Rumble, so I’d like to formally welcome my good friends at Castle Insurance to the PCA family! Without getting in too deep, they’ve taken excellent care of me and my cars for the past few years and I’d happily recommend them to anyone out there. And that’s not just because they used my car in their advertisement!

Switching gears, Region Member Rich Barsalona takes us through a recent impromptu Saturday drive with a few other members. Rich outlines a fantastic route that includes one of my all time favorite roads in the area, and walks through how to host a small, unofficial event while still complying with all the recent Covid regulations. My recommendation—read the article, call up some friends and go replicate his adventure. It’s a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday.

Finally, Region Member Bill Meckley returns to his home track of Watkins Glen as an instructor at a recent high performance driving event. And luckily for us, his friend Lee Turner was there with his camera to provide some great photos of the experience as well.

So if you like 987.2 Base Cayman’s on racetracks, have I got an issue for you! But in all seriousness, if you take anything away from this one, it’s to get out and enjoy your Porsche in whatever way you see fit!

Thanks to Kevin for the use of his photo of his mint-condition 2009 Porsche Cayman.

BMW CCA – Kentucky Chapter Dinner

 
Bluegrass Bimmers 2020 New Year Kick Off Party
-Article by Fausto Sarmiento, President of the Bluegrass Bimmers (edited for space)

Over 80 Bluegrass Bimmers members and their families met at BMW of Louisville to share our passion, enthusiasm, and friendship over what connects us all, the Ultimate Driving Machine. Anthony Magagnoli delivered a presentation that incorporated racing tales and business acuity to inspire all of us to “Drive in to 2020” with the same enthusiasm we feel when we prepare to go out on a spirited drive.

The 2020 Bluegrass Bimmers Kick Off Party was funded in part by the generous sponsorship of Castle Insurance. Bluegrass Bimmers President Fausto Sarmiento had the chance to speak with Castle Insurance owner, Kris Castle, about the role insurance plays when we “Drive in to 2020”. Read on for additional information on how to manage risk while you “Drive in to 2020”!

Fausto Sarmiento, President of the Bluegrass Bimmers:
Many car owners opt for “minimum coverage” out of routine convenience. BMW drivers often make it a point to take the scenic route instead of the direct route when planning trips or even on their daily commutes. In other words, BMW drivers are hardly routine! What are some factors BMW owners need to consider when looking at their auto insurance coverage to make sure their insurance coverage meets their needs?
 
Kris Castle, Castle Insurance:
The most important factor to consider in an insurance policy is the liability limits that you have. State minimum coverage is not enough! A good insurance agent will definitely advise you to increase those limits! This is the main protection a driver has in a lawsuit situation, so spend the few extra minutes to have that conversation. It’s worth the time and money. Secondly, if you have after-factory mods on your car, keep in mind that they may not be covered. Discuss this with your agent. 
 
Fausto Sarmiento, BGB: 
Castle Insurance supports the automobile and motorsports community by sponsoring events such as the Bluegrass Bimmers Kick Off Party and the Cars & Caffeine community event. What is it about car drivers and driving enthusiasts that makes us an attractive market for your insurance company – we’re not crazy, risky drivers, right?!

Kris Castle, Castle Insurance:  
My favorite character quality of BMW drivers is their love and care of their vehicles! I know if I write a policy for a BMW owner, the car is usually in excellent shape and while they enjoy driving more than the average driver, they are also very responsible and in tune with what their car can do. They appreciate quality, so I know they will appreciate a quality insurance policy, and not necessarily the cheapest option if that doesn’t serve their needs best. Plus, BMWs are just really pretty to look at so I enjoy attending events, even though I don’t really have the deep knowledge of the cars like most of the BMW drivers do. I’m married to a BMW owner and we have three BMW cars in our household – quality and quantity rarely go hand in hand, but few things are as appealing as a line of BMWs out on a spirited, technical drive!
 
Fausto Sarmiento, BGB:
What are some tips you can recommend to BMW drivers to ensure they are properly protected from an insurance point of view? 

Kris Castle, Castle Insurance:

I can’t stress enough how important it is to have high liability limits. The state minimums are laughable. Be sure you use an agent that will explain and educate you on what your options are and why they are recommending what they are writing for you. BMW drivers appreciate quality, obviously, so spend the extra $150 per year and increase your liability limits. I personally have $250k/$500k/$250k and that’s what I think is a good mid-range coverage. You can never have too much insurance!
