What insurance company do you use after your truck or car is completed.
Do you get a appraisal?
What did you do or advice?

You should have insurance on your truck while you are building it if you have a good deal of money in it. Hagerty will insure it as long as it is under construction and will be completed in a year, I believe. They will do an agreed value and then you can raise it, if you choose to, once completed. American Collector's would not insure my Blazer while I an restoring it so I switched back to Hagerty.

I have mine insured through Philadelphia which is Grundy.

4x4k30 · 12-09-2018, 08:21 PM

I was going to use grundy on my 77k3500 I sent them a money order for the payment 2 weeks later I had to call them to find out whats up that's when they said they will not insure my 77 because I have a 79 k30 listed as a daily driver grundy said its too old of a vehicle they said I need a later model to drive or they will not insure my 77 well I told them to kiss my ass . I did get my money back but it took 30 days to get it back they held my money up for a month which aint rite .

**special-K** · 12-09-2018, 09:14 PM

Mine's with Haggerty. There was some difference with them I liked but it's been so long I'm not sure what that was, and I think whatever it was is about the same now as the other classic carriers.

I always wonder about this company that pays to have their name blasted at Carlisle, Heacock Classic Car Insurance. I have never heard a thing about it except on the loud speaker at Carlisle. And it's been a few or more years now.

Andy4639 · 12-10-2018, 07:43 AM

I had Hagerty's until they cancelled me for my son who doesn't even drive mine he has his own car's and because I carry his insurance they cancelled me. I have American classic now. Same coverage as Hagerty but cheaper and I pick who tows it.

**FleetsidePaul** · 12-10-2018, 04:01 PM

I have Grundy. It's cheap. But I've never filed a claim.

Indychus · 12-10-2018, 04:17 PM

I have Hagerty on mine while I'm building it. I have heard people have issues from Hagerty with big blowers, modified suspension, and narrowed axles though... I check all those boxes so I may have to go with another company when I update the value before putting it on the road. They've been great to deal with so far though, so maybe for a mild build or restoration they'd be fine.

Red71gmc · 12-13-2018, 08:57 AM

Does Hagerty or Grundy have limitations on miles per year. I am restoring one but I want to be able to put 8-10k a year on it while having good insurance.

flashed · 12-13-2018, 09:30 AM

I have no mileage restrictions here in Ga .

Indychus · 12-13-2018, 09:33 AM

Hagerty asked me a lot of questions about how I used the truck and wanted to know how many miles I drove it per year... but they did not impose a limit on mileage. I think they will if your vehicle is valuable enough.

95 S_Trucker · 12-13-2018, 11:33 AM

I use American Collectors Insurance

https://americancollectors.com/

Prices are good. Everything is agreed value coverage. I've never had to make a claim though.

**davischevy** · 12-13-2018, 11:55 AM

I don't think Progressive does collector car insurance, but avoid them like the plague. I have had two claims against their insureds and got screwed to the wall both times.

**old Rusty C10** · 12-13-2018, 12:08 PM

American Collectors was good for a while then they started balking at projects that weren't complete enough for them. I went to Hagerty and they have been fine. I have agreed value and they've insured almost anything I had wanted them to with exception of a Dodge Dakota Pickup that I told them I wanted to make a pace truck replica out of... Every year they come in cheapest so ive used them Ive never had a claim
