I went with Grundy collector car insurance on my 2006 Z06 and the annual premium is $502 a year.

I have 2 cars with Grundy, a 35 & 56 Chevy that's about $500 a year for great coverage...My son has an independent insurance agency that writes for all companies, maybe your agent can as well.

Something does sound wrong with that high quote.My regular policy is $960 per year for everything.

Others have told me Grundy has great rates. I'm not pushing Hagerty's. Shop around and get the best rate. As someone else mentioned some independent agent represent several companies. Good luck.

I had bad experience with Hagerty, Now have NCM for my 72 and 2011, $750/year, no deductible. Great service, pays claims fast, and you support the Museum.

I had Hagerty for my 72 Corvette and when I went to purchase my 2011 I called them before I bought it and told Hagerty of my intention. They look at the photo and all the information, and told me it would be not problem to insure the 2011. I went to the dealer on the following Monday and signed the papers for the car, called Hagerty to verify the insurance and we started all over again. They wanted another picture of the car and said they needed the underwriter to approve the insurance. We went back and forth on the quality of the picture, and finally the underwriter said they could not approve the insurance for the 2011, because it was the newest car in my family and it could be used as a daily driver. I made enough noise and they finally approved it. This was in the summer of 2014. The premium for tne 72 and the 2011 was $1200/ year. I got made and called NCM and the were happy to have my business and the premium was $750. Never looked back and very happy with Adam and his team at NCM

Thank you for your input. I guess shopping around is the best idea.

Default 5 Star rate and service

I FOUND National Corvette Museum Insurance to be better and at a lower cost. Flexible mileage plans....Agreed to value if totaled Speak with Bobbie Jo

I use Hagerty for my old Mopars but use Progressive for my 2012 base coupe. I average 15k miles a year on it and have liability at 250/500/100 and collision and comp with 500 deductible. Also have towing and transportation coverage. Total cost per year is 530.

Hagerty insurance wanted $814 with 0 deductible
Grundy wants $421 with 0 deductible and unlimited mileage. I didn’t think that it would be so different.

FWIW I put Hagerty on the 74 I had a few years ago. I also had one minor claim due to parking lot damage and they were good to deal with and treated me fair.

I've been with Grundy for years. Great rates and service and my claims experience with them was outstanding.

Neither Hagerty or Grundy will allow any type errand driving and you will have mileage restrictions. I’ve had both but switched to NCM years ago.

I'm not sure where you got your information but I've had Hagerty's for 10 years. They have no idea what the odometer reading is on my vehicles (eight). Also, my cars are listed as "pleasure driving" and that includes going to dinner or just going for a drive. If I run an errand while I'm out I'm covered; if someone backs into the car parked at Lowe's I'm covered; if my grandson takes the car to the prom and gets rearended I'm covered. I know because one of those actually happened and I asked those specific questions when I signed up.

Grundy restrictions are no racing,not driving it to work or school( I’m retired) no errands, back up or primary car. I can use it to go to a restaurant. $300,000 for bodily injury and property damage liability also $300,000 for uninsured motorists, bodily injury.
Zero deductible, towing $250, trip interruption $600 and spare parts $500.
They said no mileage penality but I don’t drive it that much as I have 3 cars. It should work for me but if I find myself wanting less restrictions then I may switch to NCM.
Thanks to all for your comments.

My information comes from both companies when they insured my car. Both wanted to know the mileage with a picture to prove said mileage. There is no doubt both stated that any errands are not allowed. I had both companies and I know their restrictions. I don’t think you know either as well as you think you do

I'm not going to get in a p***ing match with you about this. I have eight classic cars insured with Hagerty's going back to 2008. They have never asked for the mileage on my cars and they don't have pictures of my Vette, which is a little odd because they asked for exterior and interior pics of the others. Regardless, I'm glad you like your insurer. I'll keep Hagerty's until they give me a reason to change.
