For those of you that live in North Carolina, Hagartey is now able to write
a low cost policy. My policy for the TR8 is about $135 compared to about
$400 I would have had to pay previously. Until this year that was not
possible as the rates are controlled by a rate board that sets the
liability rates. I started working with a couple of insurers about two
years ago knowing that I was going to retire to NC this year. Hagartey
worked with their underwriter as was successful in breaking the door down.
They now can write a policy and not have to accept drivers from the pool of
bad drivers that makes the rates higher.
