Well.....self-insured groups "retain" a portion of any claim. Let's say you are pretty solvent and the insurance commisioner allows you to hold the first 500k. BEYOND that, you need a re-insurance policy and underwriter for any big claims, or big aggregate total claims. In this case, OOIDA has (and has for years) Lloyd's. To me; it speaks well because they are a highly respected and highly rated underwriter.

I was actually kidding in my post but after reading your follow up I didn't have a clue. Interesting!!!

Skate.....sorry if that came off wrong....what YOU posted was 100% true.....I don't even USE the OOIDA insurance LOL......just have gotten weary with so much of the rumor that has been posted on here in the past because of "what someone heard"
Here is a list of the brokers that do not accept OOIDA insurance. For the reason enumerated above.Attached Files:

Lol....Didn't take it wrong.
SMTatham Thanks this. -
I don't know why so many people are so quick to recommend OOIDA anyway, I priced insurance thru them several years ago and they were much higher than anyone else.

double yellow and bullhaulerswife Thank this. -
My experience also; more expensive by .........the ONLY redeeming quality is that they are lobbying for you not against you. Most of the insurance companies we use are in various ways actually working against us in one way or another.....hard to quantify though.

The "why" behind it is pretty much BS; the rating system.......my whole problem was the cost.
