Vin number insurance issue

[Sidcupboy]

Hi there this is my first post. I’ve ordered a couple of vehicles in Toronto Canada. It seems like the insurance companies cannot identify the Vin numbers to actually insure the vehicles. I find this to be completely absurd. Does anyone have any info on this or have you come across the same issue when registering these trucks? I feel it might be just a glitch relating to something on Ineos end. Newly imported vehicles may not have hit the system yet. It doesn’t make any sense to me when I see other Grenadier‘s driving around town. Do they know something I don’t ? Lol

You might be on too something when you say "not in the system yet". Not sure how long you've had your ride but I've had similar issues when getting early allocation of a few cars in the past. The insurance company couldn't get the green light for the VIN research for about two weeks, but it seems like the same time my actual plate came in it was good too go. However you would think Ineos would have populated the list of VIN's for Canada ahead of time but heck maybe not...

Thanks for the reply, the trucks are actually sitting at the dealership, and I can’t take delivery because I don’t have insurance. This is extremely frustrating as my broker does not know what to do. Dealer is looking into it tomorrow.

I initially had a similar issue with mine (Knauz was my dealer in Chicago) - they got it sorted and I think had to talk to my insurance company but all good

My Grenadier was the first insured by my big US carrier and while it took them a couple of days they were able to recognize the VIN.

Same - my insurer had never heard of it, but eventually figured it out - just took a few days.

So I got insurance, I had to go through a couple of different brokers, one right out refused, and I’ve been with them for 26 years. I went to another broker who said it was an issue with the 2025 Vin numbers even though they know the trucks exist. It is something on Ineos end. Anyway, picking up the new Quartermaster in the morning. Looking forward.!!

Like they just weren’t willing to insure it? I’ve never heard of that - maybe only for historically significant or true exotics - and even then they usually just broker it with a specialist underwriter. Oh well - congrats on the QM. Post pictures! Not a lot of them in NAM.
