    I have Grundy also. No mileage limits, but you must have another vehicle insured for a daily driver. The website says you must keep it in a locked garage, but I don't see it written anywhere in my policy.

    I have had Hagerty for at least 6 years now and they have never asked for milage on any of my cars. Not even when I signed up. I tried Grundy at first and got a bunch of runaround. I finally thought everything was straight and mailed my check in. One month later they mailed my application and check back requesting more information. I had been driving around with no insurance and didnt know it. Hagerty was a quick phone call and it was a done deal.

    I don't have a gararge, just a carport. I insured mine though State Farm on an agreed price, well above blue book.... No mileage limits & full coverage. Of course they insure the rest of my cars also. I have 4 cars & a motorhome though them at a cost of $130 a month.... Not bad....

    Hello guys!
    i got some questions for you.
    How come Hagerty and Grundy are that cheap?
    i just did a quote with them on the web: it's arround $200 PER YEAR!

    Progressive: $400 for 6 month???

    What is the deal? Why such a big difference?
    i'm looking to insure my future 76 mav as a daily driver (will be my only car), so i need comprehensive and collision...

    plus, i don't have a garage. (live in Nebraska, so might get some hail here, but i'll park it in a public garage on storm days i think)

    any ideas?:)
    thanks!

    The quotes you are receiving on-line from Haggerty and Grundy are for collector cars/non daily drivers. Insurance will be higher for a primary vehicle/daily driver. (higher risk)

    Yes, because with Haggerty you have to send them the policy on your primary vehicle to show that you do have a daily driver besides the car they are insuring.

    I tried to get Haggerty, I liked their roadside assistance plan. They told me they don't insure cars with power adders, I had nitrous at the time. So I went to Grundy. They didn't ask about power adders, and I didn't tell. :D

    I have mine insured through state farm as well, agreed value, also above blue book. they said they would also insure for appraised value if I got it appraised. I do have other cars insured with them , but I dont think its mandatory. With my daily driver and others on policy you get a multi car discount and the rates arent bad. I think the 71 Maverick amounts to $36.00 every 6 months, but everyones area and cost is a little different. see what company and rules work for you. hagerty & grundy are both good as well from what my friends say.Good luck!
