As stated, next Friday the plane leaves for the paint shop.
It is a 218 mile trip up the 101 freeway at say 55mph.
Special precautions where taken with the plexiglass, I covered them in 5mil clear vinyl and taped it with plumber's tape to the plexiglass every four inches in strips, quite an artistic look.
Question, do I call my auto insurance about coverage or do I call an aircraft insurer???
The fuselage will be towed on a flat bed trailer behing my F250 diesel, the wings and other structures will be in a Penski moving Van and I applied for content insurance.

I believe this is best covered under a “Builder’s Insurance” policy. Nation Air is the company I use.

Years ago we repaired a plane that was hit while on a trailer. I
think we dealt with an aircraft insurer, not car insurance. I agree,
builder insurance is the way to go.

Others have mentioned builder's insurance which I agree, however I got some unsettling news when I asked the question to my insurer Falcon insurance. Turns out they only cover a short drive from the house to the airport. I am quite sure I asked the question before moving it from Fl to MS and then to VA and felt it was covered, turns out it was not! Good thing nothing happened, but I highly recommend not just builders insurance but verifying they will cover the transit you have planned.

I priced non-flying a/c insurance when I was building my plane and I felt that it was too high. As a former insurance agent. I feel that a lot of insurance in the non-mass-market product lines is overpriced due to a lack of good actuarial data. Similar products are sailboats on round-the-world voyages, special event insurance, and earthquake insurance in small markets. It is my feeling that the companies just price the product off the top of their heads with no real feel for the risk. I went naked on insurance till I got my N-number. You can minimize a lot of risks with a few extra safety precautions: Have several fire extinguishers around you build site or hanger. Use lots of people to help you move the plane and explain what you are doing before you do it making sure that everyone understand what is going to happen. Finally move the plane during low traffic times (I did mine early Sat. morning). For a long haul 5-7AM in the Summer is a good low traffic time, or 7-9 in the evening. You cannot eliminate risk, but you can do a lot to minimize it.

I'd put the wings on it, fly it for awhile, fix all the squaks, and then fly it to the painters!!
Then if you have something you want to change or add (like more cowl exit louvers to cool the engine) you won't mess up your pretty paint job!
Just something to think about....
