Question
The Flamingo Cab Company of Cougar Creek is interested in purchasing $250 deductible collision insurance and full-coverage comprehensive insurance to cover its fleet of 10 taxicabs. As a requirement for the job, all drivers already carry their own liability coverage in the amount of 100/300/100. Cougar Creek is rated as territory 2. Five of the cabs are 4-year-old Checker Towncars, model class Y. Three of them are 2-year-old Chrysler station wagons, model class R. The remaining two are new Buick sedans, model class C. Because the vehicles are on the road almost 24 hours a day, they are considered to be very high risk and carry a rating factor of 5.4. They are, however, subject to an 18% multi-vehicle fleet discount.
