What is laid up insurance cover is same as laid up cover, cover for vehicle that is not being driven and is stored off road, covering fire, theft, vandalism and weather but not driving, cheaper than comprehensive. Laid up insurance cover, also called laid up cover, SORN insurance, storage insurance or fire and theft only, is for cars, motorcycles, caravans and classic cars that are off road for months, such as winter storage, project cars, or cars awaiting restoration, costing $100 to $300 per year versus $800 to $1,500 full comprehensive. It covers fire including bushfire, theft and attempted theft, vandalism, storm, hail and flood while parked in garage or storage facility, but does not cover accidental damage while driving, third party liability or driving to events, so car cannot be driven on public road, must be SORN in UK or unregistered or on private property in Australia. For example, classic car $30K stored in garage for winter 6 months, laid up insurance $150 per year covers theft and fire, versus comprehensive $1,200. Some policies include transit cover for towing. In Australia, you still need CTP if registered, but you can reduce comprehensive to laid up if car not used. So laid up insurance cover is insurance for vehicle stored off road not driven, covering fire, theft and weather but not driving, costing $100 to $300 per year, ideal for stored and classic vehicles.
