Reply to "Insurance Woes"

Keep us posted Dave. Also curious about the rates. I dumped AAA about 4 months ago because they were giving me grief about increasing my coverage limit - jumped through a bunch of hoops, provided a current appraisal, provided 6+ ads for comparable cars for sale, had the car photographed by a AAA office, etc, and they still wouldn't increase it after three months of such BS, all the while telling me there were classic car companies that handle cars like mine. So, I took them up on their recommendation and pulled all my auto policies (4 of them).

Most of the classic car insurance companies say you can NOT drive your car to work. Haggerty said I cannot use it as my "DAILY DRIVER," and I must have another regular commute vehicle. FWIW - The policy does not say I cannot drive it to work. And use is not limited to club events, shows or parades. I think I listed 1,500 miles for club events and 3,500 miles for "pleasure" driving. And, several fellow PCNC club members have had accidents and claims with Haggerty and all reported that they were great to work with.

One friend recommended American Collectors, but their quote was half of what anyone else's quote was, which left me skeptical. This friend has never had a claim with them either, and I didn't want to be the one to find out they don't stand behind their policy holders.

One more thing... During the Summer months, there are a number of weekday car shows in the Bay Area where I live
Wednesdays - hot rod show at Boston Market
Thursdays - Willow Glen car show
Fridays - Informal employee car shows at work
and others I'm sure...

Any time I drive my car to work, it's either a pleasure drive or so I can participate in one of these events.

Good luck!
