Vette(s): 1995 Indy Pace Car Convertible (Original owner) 1979 Red on Red (Original owner)

I'm a relative new member and recently read a thread about classic car insurance and the ones to check out. My question is: Has anyone had a claim for damages and did the company come through as promised? I have a '79 and '95 that are currently insured with a regular insurance company. I don't want to drop them and take a chance with an unknown company.

Thanks |cool|

Hi, Ron, I use Hagerty. Thankfully, I have never had a claim. I have heard from the person I bought my car from (he is a dealer) that Hagerty is very good with claims.

we have Hagerty's classic on Ian too. no need for claims yet and hope there will never be. But the agent we deal with assured us of quick claim action when needed. |cheers|

Ron, I use American Collectors Insurance for my 82. Never had a claim but have an agreed replacement value of 15K. Only costs me about $140 a year

Hi Ron!
My 78 Pace is insured with State Farm. The car falls in a separte catagory for antique and classic cars so the insurance is very inexpensive approx $200 a year for total coverage $500 deductable. My car was in my shop durring hurricane Georges and a tornado hit the shop, it took off the roof , dumped in a lot of water and threw items around in the shop. After the storm I notified my agent He asked me where I wanted it fixed, I took it to a corvette restorer I knew (licensed shop) They replaced all the interior/new windows/complete paint my cost $500 dollars. The vet is in great shape I'm still doing shop repair. |cheers|

I checked out Hagerty and what they offer does not cover driving to work, only pleasure and shows.

Any other insurance companies suggested???

thanks

Thanks to all the replies to my insurance question. I will check out several of them and make a decision. I don't drive to work any more, so that won't be a problem. I do plan on driving the '79 and '95 more often, but only for pleasure or occasional shopping.

Thanks |bouncy|
