Note: CIAB data cited here are based on a survey. Rate changes earned by individual insurers can and do vary, potentially substantially.
Renewal Approach • After a challenging 2012 renewal, an extensive marketing plan was deployed for 2013: • Approached several alternative markets to replicate the current program: • “All Risk” placement including Quake & Flood and also coverage for vehicles while in the yard. • Became apparent that while there are markets that are willing to provide insurance to WSTIP, the projected renewal rate via incumbent placement was better than what they could offer. • Simultaneously, we sought to restructure the current program in a more competitive way, also providing better coverage: • Carve-out and place “stand-alone” coverage for the vehicles via an Inland Marine specialist. • Competitive option via Markel has been secured • Convinced the underwriters to bring the CNG facilities back in at the “account rate”.
Outcome – Summary: Year over Year Comparison • 14% composite rate reduction; • TIV up just under 10%; $42,925 overall cost reduction (5.84%) • Reduced self insured retention from $500,000 to $250,000, except for CNG Facilities; • Added “over the road” coverage • The APD coverage will provide Replacement Cost Coverage for vehicles 2003 or newer which are not repairable: • Subject to $250,000 retention
Vehicle Reporting / Automatic Acquisition • Single vehicles valued $750,000 or greater must be reported to the carrier (via WSTIP/Alliant) upon acquisition. • Articulated & Double Decker Busses
