I've got my 71 TR6 (no flames please) insured with Hagerty. I told them in
the application that I would be driving to work occasionally, (which I do
maybe twice a week) and using the car for other miscellaneous drives not
related to show. It's only costing me about $70.00 per year with a $6000
value. I have a friend locally that has a 76 Rolls and a TR4A that he has
with Hagerty. He has had a few claims which he said were handled very
quickly with out question. He got full value for the repairs and is very
happy with them. I'll give them a try for a year and see how they work out.
If everything is ok I'll stick with them. If not, I'll look elsewhere.
Just my $.02

Allen and everyoneelse,
Hagerty priced a comparative policy for my 76B that was 1/10th
Allstate's price.
That is a kind of amazing difference. I find it such a difference that I
begin to distrust Hagerty (why not distrust Allstate ????...actually
despite bad press, Allstate for me has come through quite promptly twice in
not-my-fault accidents.)
Can anyone verify that Hagerty, when push comes to shove,
comes through with a prompt check for repairs?
