Just received my insurance application for the monte from Crosslands, they apparently have a new carrier, Echelon General Insurance.
They demand payment by credit card or debit card only and you have to give them your card number, this gives them direct access to either your credit or your bank account.
They say you can check a box on the form for onetime use only.
1/ Is not cash legal tender?
2/ Are you going to give a stranger unlimited access to your finances?
3/ Does anybody have sugestions for reasonable alternatives?
Check the box use your credit card and take a copy or photo. The card company will have no problem clawing a extra payment back. most times your on your own withdrawing from your bank account . It comes down to who is holding the cash, with a card you still have to pay. From the bank you have already payed.
I use Echelon and just send them a cheque with my statement they have never asked for a credit card. They have been more than helpful with me. Just sayin

I use Pay Pal or Electronic E-transfer My credit card guarantees my purchases...
You have to trust someone You going to send the cash in the mail ?
I switched from Crosslands to Young's. same Echelon policy, they just added the bill to my family cars................
Same price as Crosslands too...........
I use Hagerty and set them up as a payee with my client number and pay them electronically and in less than a minute good to go for another year and I record the transaction number if needed down the road.
I wrote off m classic car insured with Hagerty and I was paid the agreed value less deductible in 3 weeks. Only thing I would suggest is that if you do many upgrades to the car uping the value on it that you get a new agreed value as I left it at the value of when I bought the car.
