Which insurance?... help ;)
Hallo, (revised)
I have American Collectors ins. for my '73 vette, its about to expire and before I renew.. I hear Hagerty is the best and most reliable...I like to occasionally drive to the store and have dinner at a restaurant...which is better for me?
Any suggestions?
....any stories how your claims were handled?
Thanks you guys rock.

I have Haggarty for my 73 and have no issues at all.
There's a few threads on here regarding this so definitely do some reading.
Ps... With that said, nobody should go to Walmart in a C3!!!

I see it as a good faith type of policy. Unfortunately I have a feeling more and more people will take advantage of it and eventually ruin a good thing. I wouldn't take a nice Pinto into a Walmart lot.

Call Adam Boca with National Corvette Museum Insurance. Great guy to work with, great coverage (more lenient than the others) and great rates.

There have been so many threads on insurance it's ridiculous. Use the search function and take lots of time to read.

The only complaint I've heard over the years regarding insurance were from folks that found out too late that insuring their classic Vette with a "regular" policy was a good idea.
In 8 years I've never seen a complaint about a Classic Car Insurance Provider so I'd be confident to say all the national ones are pretty good and reliable.
I've had Hagerty for the entire time I've owned my Vette. Their roadside assistance is great, I've used it twice. Their rates have been steady, no problems.

There are a lot of variables that go into a rate. You may have paid $175 but someone else (different age, different city, different record) will pay more or less. You really have to call around and get quotes, find out who you're comfortable with and go with them. Personally, I pay a bit over $300/yr. with NCM for their best policy and $30K agreed. I also live just outside Chicago.

After some research and a few calls/quotes I decided to stay with American Classic by upgrading to Platinum status which gives me better coverage for Towing/Road Assistance, it also covers longer trips to car shows and events..besides their quotes are much better for my vette.
I also found out that some Ins. Companies don't offer the same services in certain states. Virginia is one of them.
Basically I've learned that when it comes to Classic cars, all Policies are pretty much similar..the trick is to find the right one for your specific needs and State
Thanks for your input guys
