ted1922 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Would like to hear your store with your classic car insurance company. If your car was stolen ,in a accident, lost do to weather or fire. Did you have any problems, were they helpful, did it take a long time to be payed? Do you have rules you have to follow to be insured with your company? I am looking for a company for my cars .

Lebowski Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I've had several cars insured with Hagerty over the years but have never had to file a claim after a theft or accident (knock on wood). You get an "agreed value" policy with them so there shouldn't be any arguments about what the value of the car is if it's totaled or stolen. Good luck....

bryankazmer Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 All antique car insurance has restricted use rules. Know what they are - it's as important as the rate. Each carrier sets their own rules, but all prohibit daily driver use or for hire use. You'll need "regular" insurance to cover if that's what you need.

padgett Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Most have something similar to: "Be used primarily as hobby vehicles: used in exhibitions, club activities, parades, or other functions of public interest. An occasional nice day drive to keep the vehicle in running order is perfectly acceptable". At one point I asked if being driven to a show about 100 mies away & night in motel was OK and was told it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank DuVal Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I wasn't endorsing Ride Share by Hagerty, just commenting on the fact there now is antique insurance that does allow for hire uses. You better believe I would read all the particulars before doing Ride Share!😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBerg Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I had an accident a number of years back. Ended up doing nearly 20k in damage to my car. Hagerty had it settled and a check in my hand in less than two weeks. Needless to say I have been thrilled with Hagerty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Stick with the companies that specialize in antique car insurance. You will find the coverage to be better and cost less. Hagerty, J.C. Taylor, American Collectors, and others who advertise in the club magazines. Most of them get good reviews here whenever anybody asks a question like yours. Remember all 50 states control policies requirements in their state. Shop around and talk to their agents. Retired Agent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
