Preferred Track Insurance Company?

I think these companies generally offer single event, multi event, and/or full season (unlimited event) coverage. Websites are all pretty good. I have been using OnTrackInsurance for the past year or 2, with no claims and reasonable rates. But based on my plans for NJMP in October, may try OpenTrack based on their single event rate.

Yes, I highly recommend Opentrack.
For or me the numbers crossed-over at about 6 events per year.
If if I am going to do more than 6 DE events per year then it made sense for me to buy a full year (unlimited event) Opentrack policy.
Any less than 6 events/yr then it's best (for me) to buy insurance on an individual, per event basis.
Can't wait until I can retire and do 20+ events per year. Unfortunately now I only can squeeze-in about 5 events per year.
It it is wonderful that Opentrack gives the option of a full year policy or a per event option.

It really comes down to number of events, rather than number of days. Most single-event coverage is the same cost whether the DE event is 1, 2 or 3 days.

I have used them for 2 or 3 years now. Prices are fine, Ben, Jarod, Sue, and the rest of them are super easy to deal with, and the peace of mind is priceless.
I highly recommend Open Track based strictly on my experience with them.

I have three years of experience with OpenTrack, covering three cars. We have always taken the annual coverage as it is a better deal and gives us complete flexibility, and we go to enough DE’s to make it worthwhile. I have made one claim, and the fault was mine - a minor off with no impact. It was a small claim early in our usage, but it was on our GT3, it was in Canada (we live in the US) and despite the fact it was only minor cosmetic damage to a plastic piece, it was still a five figure repair because I wanted it done right and nothing Porsche is cheap! I was going to cover it myself but when, in passing, Ben heard about it he encouraged me to make the claim. I had video of the incident and an instructor statement. The claim was paid promptly and it was all very painless. Ben involved himself throughout. His staff was superb as well. I don’t believe our deductible increased. There has never been a question about the value I nominate for the cars we insure - old and new. My wife and I are both covered for all three cars. I expect our daughter will be too when the time comes. We haven’t even questioned the value of taking our insurance with OpenTrack in subsequent years, and this season we included the liability coverage happily.They have even been kind enough to allow us to shift the renewal date for our convenience. We can not recommend OpenTrack highly enough. Hopefully this helps anyone on the fence.

Steve Katz at "on track insurance" has been doing this for as long as I know.
He's one of us, so they get it.

Correct. You can just go to their Web site and plug in your figures and coverage desire and a price will pop out. Or you can email Ben or Sue and generally get a response with great alacrity.

I use RLI as the group i drive with does DE on 1st day and TT on 2nd day. I couldn’t find any of the other companies that would cover time trials.

I have been very please with OnTrack Insurance for several years now. The office staff is very responsive and I can track with confident having their policy in place. Steve Katz is a superb competitor and is very serious about the insurance business. It is his mission to provide affordable reliable insurance for we enthusiasts.

Question for those who do events with different clubs: does the event organizer need to be certified with each provider in order to have the coverage options mentioned in this thread? I’ve only done Lockton which is offered as an option on checkout for PCA events on Motorsportsreg. I tried to use them last year for an event with the SoCal Alfa club, but it required paperwork that wasn’t in place so I couldn’t get coverage.
