I used Haggerty for years and then switched to State Farm with an agreed upon policy.

I'm with AMIG, a GEICO company for several years. Policy covers agreed value and premiums are reasonable. I had a towing claim that I submitted after paying the towing company. All done online and had a check within 5 days.

I would recommend them as a good company to deal with.

JC Taylor does antiques, classics and hot rods. One policy, one company.

JC Taylor treated me very well when I had a claim. Paid quickly and painlessly. I would definitely recommend them.

Same as #2. Switched to Grundy and saved 30%. Would not have checked them out except for a similar question when renewal time.

I've had Hagerty for 20 plus years. The fact is that coverage requirements vary from state to state and comparing prices is a genuine apples to oranges exercise. FYI, Hagerty has a Denver office and that makes it easy for me to do business with them. too, if you're using a broker for your insurance, ask the broker if they write Hagerty, JC Taylor, etc. It's always easier to do business with somebody you know and trust.

I have been with AAA for 25 years. Very happy.
Fewer restrictions than some of the others.

I am very happy with HAGERTY, I have been with them since they started selling antique auto insurance. Back a few years ago they raised there rates, so when I received my yearly quote it was somewhat higher. I called HAGERTY, and had them reduce the amount of insurance that I was carrying on each of my vehicles. HAGERTY and myself have real good relationship, they take my money, and never to this date, have given me any of theirs. I would not drive, without insurance. Take care, E.P.W.

I currently have Geico and tried to use them for my Model A but they told me I have to have 2 vehicles 1997 or newer in the household to put full coverage on the Model A and my wife's car is is a 2008 and my truck is a 1995 so they wouldn't insure the car because they said my truck being the age it is was unreliable... kind of irritating because I work on my own vehicles and they are more reliable than most others on the road!
So I went with Hagerty for $235 for the year.

Just be very sure to double check any driving restrictions shown in the fine print; some companies frown on regular use to many places we take for granted. That is why I also switched to AAA.

J.C. Taylor for 49 yrs. very happy. Some Insurance Companies rates vairy from state to state. So check.
I am with State Farm on every thing else, but in California they were much more expensive.
I have 6 cars with J.C. Taylor for less than they wanted for one car at State Farm.

Another vote for Hagerty. I don't think I could be much happier.
