I have Hagerty.
Got my car on the raod last spring and called a few places and asked who was using what on a couple forums.
Price was less than expected and thankfully no claims, I did however use the towing feature once . The car got home safe and sound.

The only hitch is that there is no coverage for any race-track activities. Curious what the guys are using that do track day events if anything?

I have used Hagerty and Grundy, and called a few others for quotes. Lately Grundy has had the best prices for me. You really need to check a few, because there is no one company that will be the best for everyone; type and mods of the car, where you live, credit rating, age, etc. will all influence the pricing.

thanks for the quick responses!

Im definately going to check around.....not neccesarily looking for the best pricing ,more service , customer service and agreeing on insuring a heavily modified car that i have a TON of money into. Man i fear the day if i ever have to call an adjuster

Seems like Grundy doesnt shy away from our types of cars .THat alone will make my choice easier

I've been pretty happy with Hagerty. In order to come to an agreement on value they usually ask to see pictures, and if they think your number is high they ask for documentation of invoices, etc. In my case, I keep having to send over documentation every time I want to update the policy. At most it is mildly annoying that they won't just accept my figure, but I can't blame them, and if that's my biggest complaint I think doing pretty well. As for wondering about how they handle heavily modified cars...well, I think the only original things left on mine are parts of the sheet metal. Everything else from suspension to glass is new and after providing invoices Hagerty was happy to insure my car for exactly what I had into it.

FWIW, I use Grundy. They know it has a roll bar and that's fine with them. And so far it's been real easy to up the policy as the project moves forward.

I am using American Collectors Car insurance and the premium is $450. I am insuring $35,000.

With all recent upgrades I wil be going up to $50,000 so I,m sure that will change a Bit.

For racing and time trials K and K insurance will handle on track incidences and the premium is 5-10% of amount you are insuring but they dont cover bodily injury or death.

For bodily injury there is Stida Insurance and they cover up to $250,000 for medical bills payed over a 2 year period but only $10,000 for death.

BARRETT-JACKSON COLLECTOR CAR INSURANCE Ask for Jim or Amy

they have better rates than all the others and unlimited mileage towing if you have a problem...I had a claim and it got paid within a week...they even over nighted the check!

Jim 419 794 1075

Amy419 794 1080


its worth a phone call

I bet they save you at least 30% for agreed value insurance...

I'd call Tamra Perto over at MK Insurance,all the heavy hitters from Yenko.net use her,she's a sponsor there.
I just insured the Buick funny car yesterday at a value of $50K,premium is $90/yr.

I have $220K total in agreed-to value on all 4 of my cars and my premiums are less than $500/yr.
