Once the above information is secured, your broker can then do the legwork of shopping the best carriers that offer the most affordable coverage on life insurance for race car drivers. Again, it is vital that you only work with a specialist who knows the best companies to talk to.

To save time from having to apply for coverage with multiple insurance carriers, your broker will speak to several different insurance companies.

The broker is invaluable when trying to obtain the lowest rates in the marketplace. It is the broker’s job to secure the best offer.

After speaking with multiple companies, your broker will come back to the client and explain the best offers from each carrier. At that time, rates will be presented based on the information obtained from the client.

These rates are tentative and must still be approved once full medical underwriting is complete. But, on most occasions unless their are some surprises on the medical exam, lab testing or MIB report the tentative offer usually holds.

Will I have to pay a higher premium since I race cars?

Typically, with ever thing else being equal you will pay a higher premium over someone who does not do racing. How much more is hard to say. Since all cases are looked at individually and again are based on the type of car, speeds, experience, etc.

It is important to remember that if you stop racing, and have had no other material changes in health or activities, you can request that any additional premium added to your policy for racing be removed.
