DEALERS OPEN LOT: “Open Lot” is a term used for insuring the physical damaged caused to your auto, truck or recreational vehicle by a covered cause of loss which typically includes wind, hail, flood, fire, vandalism and collision. Rates are determined by the acquisition cost of your inventory, lot protection- whether kept inside or outside, maximum value of any one vehicle, geographical location of covered inventory and past lost ratio performance. The tricky part of insuring open lot correctly is accurately insuring to value. If a loss occurs at time when the dealer has a limit higher than insured value on the policy the insurance company can apply a penalty due to co-insurance. An example using round numbers would be an Insured has inventory of $500,000 of cars when the loss occurs, he had originally written a policy for $250,000. In the event of a claim the insured would be underinsured by 50% and the insurance company would only be responsible for paying you 50% of your claim minus your deductible. Therefore, it is very important to insure your inventory at current values.
