Antique and Collectors Autos
If you have antique collector cars, you will be surprised to know that you can have them covered year-round for a very minimal premium if your annual mileage is limited. There is extra coverage for spare parts, lower deductibles, free display signs for auto shows, and agreed amount coverage. Agreed Amount coverage is very important because most standard auto policies only cover the “Actual Cash Value” which means they may pay you less than the antique value of your car. Agreed Amount means they will pay you the full amount you insure it for less any deductible. In general, your vehicle needs to be at least ten years old and increasing in value to qualify. The car should only be used for personal use and shows, not drive to work. The vehicle must be stored in a locked garage when not in use.
Both companies are good. Hagerty offers some extra benefits you may want including club membership, collector car magazine, roadside assistance and flatbed towing (up to 125 miles) and more.

Deductible too high? Click here for The Plan Enhancer Choose an accident plan that most closely matches your deductible to pay you directly for injuries up to the amount selected. A plan with “SIP” will also pay the total specified if you end up in the hospital for a day for sickness. For a lump sum benefit for cancer/heart/stroke, choose a plan with “CHS” in the name.
