Post by: blown motor on May 19, 2020, 12:31:09 PM
I got my insurance notice today for my classics. The premium is up 20% from last year!! What are you guys paying here in Ontario for how much coverage and who are you with?

Most if not all the car insurance companies in the US are lowering premiums and even doing refunds due to so much less driving going on during "house arrest".
I'm not sure if the classic car insurance companies are doing the same though.  I haven't heard anything from mine.
I was interested in getting Hagerty for my classics since they have a great reputation and cool magazine etc, but their rates were always so high compared to other companies I got quotes from.  A few years ago Hagerty quoted my '71 with 75K value at over $700 a year.  Which was close to twice what I was paying State Farm with their classic car policy.  I got classic car policies for my other two Challengers through a broker who found me a company that charges around $400 a year for my T/A with a 100K agreed value.  I'd pay more to go with Hagerty due to their great reputation and support of the hobby, but not double!

1970 Plymouth Duster 340, 40k agreed value, I live in a major Ontario city outside the GTA, $400 taxes in.

My wife was recently unemployed by the whole COVID thing so I called hagerty and had them remove the extra Drivers Club portion. I really liked the magazine and bonus coverages but I rahter the $80 dollar savings right now.

Your insurance carrier must have seen the beginning of "A GARAGE IN ONTARIO". And thought who the hell is that pounding Murray's car?

I'm paying 230 for 25K on my Challenger and 520 for 65K on the Charger. I wonder how the fine print compares.

My Challenger is insured for $30,000 and I believe the premium is about $220-30?
Title: Re: Insurance Cost!!!
Post by: JS29 on May 21, 2020, 06:39:01 AM
I have found it to come out to about 10.00 per 1000.00 of agreed value.  :alan2cents:

It's through Zehr's brokerage and I believe it's Western Assurance. I can give you a name if you want it Murray. I spoke to her yesterday.  :cheers:

2017 - $426.00
2018 - $419.00
2019 - $406.00
2020 - $388.00

Last time I insured at classic car I was really surprised to find out the State Farm had classic car insurance and I was going to get a discount because of the other daily drivers we had insured at that time. Don't remember the exact price, but it was pretty cheap.

@Brads70 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/brads70_12)  I'm with Zehr Insurance. I have 65K plus HST on the Charger for $520. It irks me badly that my rate went up 20% but maybe it's still a good price. You would need an appraisal to switch but you'd be almost $200 ahead the first year. Their policy states that an occasional pleasure drive is ok, it doesn't have to be just shows and maintainance.

I'm using American Modern via Geico for the convertible. 

106K for $990. 

I may start to shop around again.  Haggerty is out of the running, has always been the highest quote.

20%  is a great amount and if you cooperate with a reliable insurance company, then I can most likely say that they will cover absolutely all your expenses, except gasoline. I have experience working with insurance companies, because I myself used to work as insurance agents and in most little-known companies we were ordered to do everything possible and impossible in order to get as much money from the client and pay him as little as possible. This is what most companies do except Money Expert (https://www.moneyexpert.com/car-insurance/). That is why they have a huge customer base and excellent reputation
