Unit Information

The Unit Information page provides a place for you to enter the following information:

If the complete VIN cannot be identified, the AO (All Other) Class (under the model name) identifies the minimum characters necessary to accept the unit. VINsure® then requires you to enter the model name and appropriate cc’s. If you receive an error message for a VIN you believe should be valid, contact your managing agent or American Modern's Home office to have an associate review the VIN information.

A report is generated to list units in the AO Class. American Modern identifies the reason for the initial AO classification and then classifies the unit appropriately.

See Coverages for more information on Class and Sub-Class.
