Membership fee or is that towing add on that includes the magazine? I think they call it the Driver's Club or something.

[Step-down]

Yes Tim , your right . They can keep there Mag.

[ronn]

the towing is well worth it. I switched from AAA to Hagertys towing.

The article I read said they went public last year and have to make the stock holders happy. What is next?

[alexiskai]

They went public, but the family retains majority ownership and control of the board of directors.

Years ago I had Grundy. I wanted to increase the insured value of my cars—they said no problem. Your new premium will be $XXX. A few weeks later I get a bill for $XXX + an underwriting fee of $XX and $XX (one for each car). Dropped back and punted. I have been with Hagerty since. I just called Hagerty last week and added a 30 Cabriolet. Cost=$30 annual. Now, having said that, I have a small fleet insured with them so there is no way I can drive them all, but $30? No underwriting fee, changed the value of a few other cars while I was on the phone. And thanks to the comments above, it looks like I need to call them and inform them I am a MARC member. I don’t think i get that discount.

I was surprised when I added my '31 Town Sedan to my existing Hagerty policy a few months ago, premium for that was very reasonable (around $40 if I recall). Turns out that Hagerty writes one policy and then adds vehicles to it, as opposed to other vendors that write a separate policy for each vehicle. So my very reasonable premium was for only a couple of months, until the existing policy renewed. Having said that, I still think Hagerty is the best overall for me, but it may be that your $30 doesn't cover an entire year.

I hate that chicken-s**t "fee" thing that vendors do. Here in the PRC when you have your oil changed by a shop there's a "fee" for disposal of the oil. And a tire carcass disposal "fee" when you buy new tires, regardless of whether you're disposing of old tires or not. Not to mention a general "environmental fee" that gets tagged onto every service order. That's a cost of doing your business.

They told me it was $5 more until my renewal in February, then $30 for the year. Time will tell I guess, my fingers are crossed.

[Jeff/Illinois]

I have Hagerty, but every time I added a car I was charged full price on top of full price for the other cars. Never just 30 bucks.

I had better do some calling......

[Keith True]

With Hagerty there is one liability charge,and when you add a car you just pay for the additional comprehensive.That price is set by the value set and agreed upon.It can be $30.depending on the value you set and your location.I have three A's with them right now,I pay under $300.for all three.I can't remember the value on all of them,but I do remember one is valued at $28,000.

[Jeff/Illinois]

keith you are getting a heck of a deal. Illinois insurance rates really aren't all that bad compared to most states. I'm paying around $650 for three cars valued at around $30,000 each average. Each car is like $215 each.

I'll be talking to them Monday.............

[31 Woody]

The Hagerty bill has arrived. Verdict: $5 for the term through renewal, and $30 for the renewal period.

[ronn]

big difference in cost when you value your A at say 10k vs 30k. Jeff, that is why you feel your rate is high.


it isnt. 200. per car is very fair.

You are exactly correct Ronn.

I jumped to conclusions. I talked to Hagerty, nicely, and the lady explained it very well. It was an ah-ha moment I should have stopped and thought it through

Insurance in NW Illinois is pretty reasonable overall this is a good area of the country no wild fires, hurricanes, tsunamis and floods, limited tornadoes, etc. I have the three old cars valued at quite a bit of money, and they suggested raising them as prices of these cars has gone up quite a bit. I am looking at replacement cost what it would cost to get another one in the same condition. It isn't cheap. Mach 1's are through the roof it's crazy.

Thanked her and am staying with them! Will pay up when premium comes through!

[Phil Brown]

Mach 1's are through the roof it's crazy
Model A's and Mach 1's, a good combination

[TerryO]

I just added a "new" 30 roadster to my policy. I have 3 Model A's, a CJ5, an 05 Mustang convertible, and my 69 Shelby on my Hagerty policy. The Shelby isn't cheap either...

Phil, you and Terry O---- I likes da way you guys think!!!

Our Mach 1 is a '69 black plate California car, built at San Jose Assy. in Milpitas, have the history of the car came from Foulger Ford in Monrovia, at that time they were the premier Ford performance dealership of the West Coast.

Terry I have a '69 Shelby on my 'wish list' and you are right they are big dollars. Nice cars both of you guys,,,,, love 'em

Brothers from different Mothers I suppose! My ‘69 Mach on the policy with my A’s and my ‘96 Mustang Cobra.

Wow, neat !! Your Black Plate Mach might have been a stable mate to mine, maybe both built at San Jose Assy.

Surprising how a lot of us have a muscle car tucked away when you feel the need for speed and the Model A won't quite cut it!! A lot of guys on here also have Camaros and Chevelles and such too.

Plus laying the hammer down on a Mustang won't snap an axle key that a Model A sports, that and the rear ends are the weak link.

I like them all from Model A to Mustang

[TerryO]

I have owned the Shelby for 52 years (she's my 1st born child) and she is nice to look at but I don't drive her on the road, but the Model A's are really fun to drive.
