who would everyone recommend for collector car insurance and what have your experiences been in terms of claims.

Thanks,
Joey
 
Joey, Hagerty hands down. Stay away from American Collectors Insurance out of Cherry Hill NJ.

I had them insure both my 63 Belvedere and 62 Nova together up until this august when I sold both those cars.
They are one of the most expensive insurance out there.

Why do you say that about Collectors?
I just insured my 63 Dodge with them and they are half what Hagerty quoted me.
 
Yeah. What's the deal? I've had insurance with them for a couple of years now
 
I got the best price from Grundy Worldwide. I haven't had to file a claim with them so I can't comment on their service.
 
I've been with hagerty for years. I've never had a claim, but some friends have had them. They were great every time!

I just put new insurance on mine this year. Got quotes from Hagerty and Grundy and went with Classic Automobile - a division of Infinity Insurance Company out of CT. Price was "a lot less" than either of the other two and when I compared coverage and all they were all pretty much the same. Of course the big question is how they are to deal with if I ever needed them...
 
Insurance

Because my car was "modified", Hagerty wanted $790 for "agreed value" full coverage. My insurance agent of 30 years lined me up with Condon & Skelly (check their website) for $360 "agreed value" of $55,000. You'll need a certified appraisal submitted with pictures, but they have an outstanding reputation for claim service. Their information # = 800-257-9496. Merry Christmas everyone! Bob
 
I was very UNHAPPY with Collector car insurances customer service and it took over a week or 2 to get insurance with them. With Hagerty call and email a few pictures and your id card is faxed or emailed to you.
I went to the DMV and Hagerty faxed my updated id cards directly on the spot.
Plus Hagerty was a few hundred cheaper on the policy.dollar for dollar value on my cars.

All I can say is it didn't take two weeks for me to get coverage with American Collectors. I've also needed a copy of my card before and they would have faxed it, if I had a fax. So instead they emailed it to me.

no problems here

When I was buying one of my cars, I needed car insurance fast. I was using American collector for years and just realized that why should I wait to get my car registered.
So i looked into a different insurance carrier and found Hagerty to be cheaper,friendlier and must more customer service oriented.
I switched all my cars over to Hagerty and never looked back.
 
Here's another vote for Hagerty. They have always been fantastic to deal with. Had a windshield claim on my '64 and they covered it cheerfully, quickly, efficiently, and with zero hassle.
