In my 35 years of doing this I have owned many cars and appraised many cars, and also had to act as an expert witness in court for guys who had their cars insured with conventional insurance companies. These type of companies have no clue about collector cars, seldom pay up without a fight and seldon pay the full amount.

We are blessed with a number of great specialty insurers in the industry that are exactly the opposite. Grundy, Haggerty, J.C. Taylor, American Collectors, etc. etc are all good. and the rates are super low, as their loss ratios are really low. My advice to anyone, don't trusts the company that insures your home or late model car with your collector car, go with a specialist.

I just took out ins. with Safeco for 67.10/6months full coverage 250 deductible 10k value. Has anyone used this company?

I know people who have had claims with Grundy and I've been to Mr. Grundy's garage. If you could see his garage, you'd understand why he understands car people. He's one of us... a collector.

Folks,

I "re-titled" this thread as the referenced Insurance Vendor in the original thread title and negative comments in some posts directed at them will not and cannot be tolerated due to possible legal actions. Thank you in advance for understanding.

Hi guys,
I think we all should compare the different companies before taking any policy. I have also taken auto insurance policy after comparing many companies of insurance online. I took policy from online-autoinsurance.net.

He assured me that it would be no problem and that he has insured cars that looked much worse. I pay him and all is good. Untill I get a bill a month later for 500 bucks for the same policy. OK, someone made a mistake. Call them up and after being put on hold several times, some wise guy comes on the line and told me that my original Antique policy was cancelled because they suspected that i was using the car as a daily driver and was trying to fradulently insure it as antique for the low rates. I reminded them that it was registered as an antique and it would be illeagle for me to do so. Also I still have my 2004 F-150 on my policy as my daily driver. On hold again..... "sorry the car doesnt have a show quality finish so it does not qualify as an antique." So it is insured for storage, but I cant drive it unless i call em up, tell them its on the road and i have to call immediently when it is placed in storage. ANyone else run into this BS or am i just out of luck untill i can afford to have it painted.

Thanks in advance!
