Kenny,
Take the money you were going to spend on the wedding and buy a nice Speedster. If you are really determined to get married, take the money you have left over and ELOPE IN THE SPEEDSTER!!! When the dust clears, you'll still have the speedster and hopefully your sweet young bride. If you have the big wedding you will have pictures of a huge party that goes by so fast your head will spin, and a whole pile of bills. Ask me how I know. All the in-laws will get over it.I'm just saying. Good luck either way.
I'm being practical:
Big weddings are a thing of the past, do yourself and parents a financial favor and do as AL says..... Buy a speedster, get hitched in local park with a pre nup buddy. (a speedster is too nice to have to sell and split the proceeds)
Snap a few post wedding pics with the speedster and the gang at a reception in who's ever yard is bigger. (you'll still get the cherished envelopes this way :)
Then head out enjoying what will be the last half assed free feeling day you'll ever have :) ~Alan
Erwin,
Thanks for sharing my e-mail with everyone in the forum.

Sorry if I may of offended you with my offer for $175 to use your car for one day. I think the price that you want ($800-$1000) is very steep price to pay for a one day use to drive it less than 60 miles.

I would like to offer $200 to anyone interested for a one day use with less than 60 miles. I will have in the contract "I will be responsible and pay for any damages to the car during use, including deductable"

Acccording to insurance company. The car is still cover if a person "borrowing" does not live under the same address and is not excluded in in the policy. I also have car insurance from AAA that will cover rental.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_insurance

In the United States, liability insurance covers claims against the policy holder and generally, any other operator of the insured vehicles, provided they do not live at the same address as the policy holder, and are not specifically excluded on the policy. In the case of those living at the same address, they must specifically be covered on the policy. Thus it is necessary, for example, when a family member comes of driving age they must be added to the policy. Liability insurance sometimes does not protect the policy holder if they operate any vehicles other than their own. When you drive a vehicle owned by another party, you are covered under that party
I noticed Al posted to both threads. So I will do the same.

The lovely Kim, bride and TRUE better half to our good friend Al, is correct. But so are those that say there will be coverage.

How can that be?

Policy terms and conditions will vary from insurer to insurer. The bottom line here is...you have to read YOUR policy.

One of the most broadly used standardized auto policies in the US will provide coverage in this situation. This is a policy that is used by many personal auto insurers. I won't mention names because I don't want this to sound like advice or an interpretaion from my company. But I know coverage is there because I used to manage the product and the staff that wrote the language. I still work at the company. And I bounced this off my successor before I sat down to pen this already too long missive.

So long as you are not regularly renting your car out or in the business of renting the car out, most liability policies will cover you and the driver. Your Collision and Comprehensive coverage will also apply should there be damage to the vehicle.

Again, you need to read YOUR policy, two sections in particular. The "Liability Coverage Agreement" (or words to that effect) and the "Liability Exclusions".

In addition, the driver's own insurance policy will provide him/her bodily injury liability coverage for the use of the non-owned auto (your car, which he/she does not own). However, in this case, if the driver is also liabile for damage to the car itself, the "standard" liability coverage will not respond. But your insurance will.

I'll repeat the bottom line, insurance policies vary. I am confident with what I just wrote with respect to the "standard" auto policy provisions. But my only concrete advice to you is...read your policy before you do this. Especially if you have a collector, antique or other specialty insurance policy.
I would let a speedster enthusiast or someone interested in buying a speedster drive my car no problem. lending it for the day to a stranger, regardless of the miles would scare the $h!t out of me. If kenny and Erwin can come to terms so be it. great for them.
Kenny, I doubt that the money ($200 or $800) is the hang up. you are asking someone to trust a stranger with their baby.
Erwin, sell Kenny a keychain to give to his wife for $200 cash and then let him test drive your car for free

BTW My insurance does not cover any driver with less than 10 years driving experience.
Ultimately the rental fee, if any, will be between the Kenny and the car owner.

But for what it's worth...

I once got $1,200 just to have my 65 Plymouth Satellite sit as the "centerpiece" for a cocktail party that had a 60s rock & roll theme. Mine and one other car. It was the opening night celebration for some medical profession convention. Cost me a day. Couple hours on the road to bring the car. Had to be there early for the set-up. I stayed for the reception. Had to hang while the joint cleared out. Then drove it through their trade show hall and headed home. Nobody but me touched the car. Well, me and one idiot who was just about to set her drink down on the hood so she could pose for a picture. Even docs can be morons.

All depends on how bad they want you and how deep the pockets are.

And an open note to drclock...Al, I just looked at the plaque. "Mr. President" was more than a decade ago. 1996-1998. Scary how time flies.

Kenny,
Sorry if you didn't like that I shared your email with everyone on this forum. I just wanted to give anyone else interested a chance to rent their car to you, I personally do not feel comfortable renting my car to a stranger for $175.00. I have heard of a lot of things happening to other cars on this forum and my insurance coverage will not cover damages if I rented it out(I called my agent to ask). I put too much money in my car to take a chance for an extra $175.00. maybe someone else on this forum is willing to take a chance but not me.
Vince,
We're paying for our own wedding with about 450 people we're planning to invite. Our tables and food alone already cost 24K

NOT INCLUDING:
Wedding dress
Bridesmaid dress & groomsmen suits (12 total)
Flowers and decoration
Liquor (45 bottles of Hennessy)
Car rental
Hotel for out of state relatives
Photography
Photo booth
Party favor
Cake

We're in for tight budgeting.

Paul,
I definitely understand if it was an original '65 Plymouth Satellite, I would actually pay more since it's an original and a tax write-off for company. However, I'm looking to borrow a speedster replica which could be built for 14k-30k. Not that anything is wrong with replicas, I know if I had one I'd treat it as my baby and probably wouldn't even trust anyone driving it.

To be honest I have a budget of $600 for transportation on our wedding. $300 of which is already for two '09 Escalades for our wedding party (my fiance is manager at Enterprise Rent-a-Car). I have $300 left to spend on a car for myself and my bride. We would really like to have a black speedster.

So if anyone is in need of a little extra cash I'm willing to pay $300 CASH to drive it from bride's house, to church, then to take pictures, and then to the reception. Mileage is well under 60 total. The owner of the car is also invited to the wedding. I can also have it returned to the owner once we're dropped off at the reception spotless.

I'm not here to scam anyone, I just want to make our dream complete by having a speedster on our wedding day.

I have included a contract please take a look.
