I just contacted them for a quote ... tey say that they can't do a 74 or newer Corvette for agreed value ... unless it is a part of a collection. So I asked them to include my daily driver Pontiac and they said it's not worth enough for them to cover! :mad

So I am back to the Drawing Board looking for better insurance. My existing coverage is due for renewal this week! :rolleyes:

I recently called Grungy for a quote on my 74, they did quote me a good price, but had low limits($100,000) and it took two calls to get an application. I ending up going with Hagerty, they raised the coverage limits to what I wanted($300,000) and were very freindly.The only negetive is 2500 miles a year max, but that works for me.

Please, folks :smash: somebody chime in with a contact in the insurance industry! Who knows Hagerty's?? :lurk:

But for collectors only, no driving to work, must be stored in a locked garage, etc. I have three cars with them. Hard to beat. But that are not for regularly driven cars.

OK then I'm out. Hagerty won't work first, because I have a carport, no garage. And I drive the car to The Dyno Shop to work, a few times a week.

Any other suggestions???? :smash: PLEEEZE :blueangel: :yesnod: :crazy:

I can sympathize with you, all I have is a carport also. I stayed with my regular insurance company (Farmers) they have a decent collectors policy. No mileage, and you can set the value.

Just don't faint when they quote you the premium...mine is just over $350.00 every 6 months...

Thats bad, but you have keep it insured. Right?

Try "AN PAC" they have special policys very reasonable. Will try to get the contact info for you, they gace a presentation at one of our corvette club meetings...LT

Paul, you should also be aware that American Family will insure your vette on a special coverage form if you have your other auto insurance with them. The car has to be over 20 years old. I have been with them for 3 years..LT

Larry,

Did you insure your '79 through ANPAC? Acoording to their websie the car has to be at least 25 years old. Did they give you a waiver?

Neo, no I have mine insured with American Family, my daughter is my agent...LT

Neo Fender

Thanks, I'll check them out. BTW, saw your car at the Fun Fest last September. Nice.

American Family- I just dropped them on the vette - why?

Im 34, presently have an absolutley clean record-no tickets-nothing, I have my house, truck, and fiances' car with them and they still quoted me $400+ for 6 months full coverage on my stock 82. They called it a pleasure vehicle policy but it was the same premium as my full coverage 98 S10 ZR2 blazer policy? Actually once I went to insure the vette, they raised my truck policy rates !!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather stay with a company that has no restrictions, but I think a policy like this should fall somewhere between a Hagerty type policy and a full coverage daily policy. American Family could not offer me that, at least from my agent.

Is there a different policy that AM FAM has that can get you there?

Im ready to go to Hagerty and then just take my chances :mad

With Hagerty the car has to be 25 years old.

Ive heard that the exception for that rule is vettes.

I think I pay about $200.00 a year for full coverage on my vette. A friend of mine had the same problem with his AM FAM agent, wanted 600 every six months. He checked with another agent and got it for 180 a year. Worth checking in to....LT

Thanks, had a good time there. Vette magazine took a lot of photos of my car there and said it would be in their mag sometime after Feb. Good thing, I just dropped and axe on the passengers door and have a pretty good gouge now. Need to get it fixed.......LT

Tom73

Apparently there is. Just put your car into the on-line quote with a $15K value and it came back with $276 a year.

I guess I will try AM FAM again and if they cannot find the policy that can get me to the $200 ballpark, then it is a Hagerty type policy.

Thnaks for your help-

San Diego Paul- I hope this is helpful for you too...
