Re: Insurance recommendations
Haggery X 2 , I had Condon & Skelly also for 10 plus yrs. I wanted to take my vehicles to another house I have w no garage & keep there for a couple weeks @ a time but it does have off street parking for several cars. C&S said no, gotta have a garage, called Hagerty & they said no prob & as Tubman said I got a rate significantly lower from them!

Re: Insurance recommendations
"Newc", this is of interest to me, as I am a Hagerty customer. How did this finally turn out? What did you finally end up with? You had to get something, didn't you.

Re: Insurance recommendations
Had Hagerty & when they added roadside service, which I did not request, they went bye bye & as others have done I went with Grundy. Had 2 claims with fast payout to me. When I called to make the claim, they said an adjuster would call which one did the next day. We agreed on the repair amount & when they asked where we send the check I said right here to me, no problem I had a check within a few days.

Re: Insurance recommendations
Mine have been insured with State Farm for a long time. The only claim I had was on the 1940 Mercury. The trailer it was in was put in a ditch in an accident. The paid $17K to fix it. I'm still with them for all my cars.

Re: Insurance recommendations
I agree with sugarmaker. I insured with Hagarty because I did not think I had any real choice when it came to my c-750 COE car hauler. They would insure me but would not insure it to tow. Except for the occasional load they also would not let me put anything on it except my own collector/classic cars. I had an opportunity to pick up 2 Ford cars about 90 miles from my house. The COE and a trailer was the obvious way to go. I went with Shelter Insurance Company after a suggestion from a fellow hot rodder. I cancelled my policy for three vehicles with Hagerty. I got a slightly better policy, agreeing also to insure my daily driver. No restrictions on any (except the obvious - racing). They only operate in 15 states but, my COE now does COE things and still wins at car shows!

Re: Insurance recommendations
Discussions about insurance companies get my blood boiling! I don't like insurance companies and I think in trying to minimize their risk they take advantage of us. That being said, I had Hagerty for over 15 years, had what I thought were reasonable premiums and I thought their rules for driving my car were fair. Then 2 years ago (2021) my premium went up about 40% in one year. I had never had a claim and drive my car on average about 100 miles a year. I called to complain but to no avail so I switched to Grundy. My new premium with Grundy was less than what I paid with Hagerty in 2020. This is my second year with Grundy and my premium went up about 10%. I hope it levels off in the coming years.

Re: Insurance recommendations
Unfortunately inflation and the cost of materials and labor at body shops causes premiums to go up. I still think the specialty insurance companies are money savers when compared to using the major companies like State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, etc. You really find out how good a company is when you have to file a claim.

Re: Insurance recommendations
This thread is a couple of weeks old now, but I can state that attempting to set up a new multi-vehicle policy with Grundy has been a pain in the ***. Between their barely functional website and continued asking for additional information when the documentation provided has already met the initial requirements really makes me question how they'd respond during/after a claim.

Re: Insurance recommendations
I've had no experience with Grundy claims. State Farm has been pretty good for me but I've heard some pretty bad stories from some. Growing up with three insurance agents in the family I knew to document everything and what to specify in writing the policy originally. That's probably where a lot of the problems people have come from. Insurance companies won't want to pay anymore than they are forced to so make sure you cover your bases from the start. Keep current pictures and be able to produce receipts when asked.
