Hey Patton,
I got my my Midget insured through the ERIE Insurance company as
an agreed value policy. I work at home, so I don't have to drive
to work daily. This probably got me a lower premium, but there is
no mileage limit on how much I can drive per year. I had to get the
car appraised which was no big deal. We agreed on $6000 as the
value of the car, I can have it reappraised as I do more work to
it and they will adjust my premium accordingly. I got this through
a broker so I don't know anything about the company except that the
yearly cost is quite reasonable. Check with your local broker, I
believe ERIE is located in Pennsylvania.
Good luck,
Robert Weeks
