Albert,
I also second Hagerty and I also live in NJ.
(A breath of relief after insuring the car with Allstate for a year before
I tracked down Hagerty (via our list!). ANd I live in the home town of
American Collector's Insurance (as you will see on other rsvp's).
I paid $55 for the current year with basic PIP, 100K for liability, 35K
for uninsured motorist and the agreed value with no deductible, $5000
Dan's higher price is for a higher level liability.
I drive about 3x as much as Dan's 1000 miles per year and that is not
a problem.
It may also help that I'm over 50 and have a solid driving record.
When I did switch, the switch was painless to all except the insurer of my
other vehicles who charged me $500 for the first year I owned it. (Can
you imagine paying 1/10th the value of a $5k car for insurance? It sure
isn't a BMW Z-8).
