Just wondering who everyone is using for collector car ins. and if there happy with them .
I,m thinking about switching .
-
I'm with Hagerty. Haven't had to make a claim with them (and I don't want to!!), but I've had to use their emergency road service twice, and been very satisfied both times. Rates are less than 1/3 what I would pay through my regular insurance company (State Farm).

Another Hagerty customer.

Thanks guys ,
Hagerty is who I have now also . I was just curious to see if anyone was using Grundy car ins.
I was talking to someone this weekend that said Grundy was quite a bit cheaper .
I guess I,ll call tomorrow and find out .

John,
Used Grundy for one year. Did not enjoy the experience. They were less but not very cordial.
Dan
-
Nothing but love for Hagerty. :love4:
A happy customer for over 15 years.
Chris

Hagerty for 25 years. Rates are reasonable, especially compared to my everyday carrier that I've been with for 43 years.

Dear Keith, Dan, Mark, Chris, and mid-60 insurance experts,
This is an item that I have deferred . . . until I have a car that can actually be driven!
However I'm curious, Can you go with a collector car insurance and still drive the car a significant number of miles a year? My hope is to use my wagon as a vacation cruiser and . . . as others have noted . . . there are lots and lots of places to see in these U.S.ofA. without needing to get off any road my wagon should be able to navigate!
Curious minds want to know!
Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

I have Grundy. Someone hit the front corner of my car when we were at the coliseum swap meet at cruisin the coast year before last. Naturally never left number or anything. Got home called Grundy explained what happened. Adjuster was at house in 2 days and I had 2100 dollar check in six days. Very happy with them and they are reasonable.

Bob ,
Do you happen to know the mileage limitations thru Grundy ins. ?

Since you are probably an insured driver on your other vehicles, the way I understood it was that my Hagerty insurance was additional agreed upon coverage for the car.
No driver or car restrictions that I can recall.

^^^^ What Chris said ^^^^ Hagerty requires that every driver in the household that they will cover on the classic car have another car and insurance policy in force at the time; and they ask for proof. They do not want the car used as a daily driver. Other than that, no mileage restrictions. I was also impressed with the fact that they had no age restrictions. When my older son got his license, they had no problem adding him to the policy, once we showed that we had another car in the household that he was using as his daily driver.
One thing that does scare me a bit about Hagerty is that their default policy has very low liability levels, basically the state minimum. So, consider upping that, particularly if you have any other assets that you want to protect.

Okay, that's good to know. Collector car insurance hasn't really been a problem because my trusty wagon really hasn't been running yet. Hopefully, that will happen soon and I now need to protect her after all I've invested in her!
Thanks Chris!
Cheers, Edouard

John no mileage restrictions. Car must be kept in enclosed locked garage on your property. Not to be used for errands shopping or going to races. Must have a daily driver insured. No driver under 25
Bob

No driver under 25

Bob - I don't believe Hagerty has this restriction. My oldest son is 19, and he has been approved to drive my GS since he was 18, and he had his own car / insurance.

My coupe was insured with Hagerty and sitting on my driveway when a wind storm hit us and created about $3,000 damage. When I called them the first thing they asked me if everyone was okay. They asked me to send them a couple pictures of the damage and take it to two places (of my choice) for estimates. I turned in both estimates and they honored the lower of the two ($150 difference) and issued me a check that arrived in 48 hours. Absolutely no hassles and they didn't jack up the rates to punish me for my claim.
Another benefit are the free membership perks. They have a really nice magazine that they send out and their website has a lot of care tips and valuation information. Hagerty is a class act for sure! :icon_thumright:
