Hagerty's Collector Car magazine has a 240Z in it

[bob m]

I have Haggerty for my 72z. It is insured for $ 15k. I also have had Haggerty for my wooden boat since 1990. They are the major insurer of classic wooden boats in the US. I have only heard positive things about them from people who have had claims.

Hi Guy:

I have Hagerty - and I did have a claim {first one in 40 years} Absolutely no hassle - and all the kindness and help they could offer. The only thing they said was "take it to whatever restoration shop you use and have it fixed". "If you don't have a shop in your area that you trust to do the work correctly, let us know and we'll get recommendations from Collectors in your area".

I started working with the Hagerty many, many years ago to get Agreed Values on our Original Owner's 240Z's -, from the Z Car Original Owners Register on the Z Car Home Page. At that time most insurance companies, claims adjustors were putting actual cash values on 240Z's of around $1,500.00. {no matter if you had $10K in the car}. The original owners simply wanted Agreed Values high enough to assure their 240Z's would be properly fixed, should anything happen, without being totalled out for a relatively minor accident.

In most cases, if there was an accident, it wasn't the original owners fault. Nonetheless the hassles with claims adjustors from the other persons insurance company or their own were simply impossible to overcome. It is a whole different story when your car is insured for an Agreed Value by another insurance company. Funny how insurance companies don't like to sue one another.. Really great when you don't have any hassle about getting your Classic Car properly repaired...

I think we have about 130 of our 165 Original Owner 240Z's insured with the Hagerty today, and something over 600 Z Cars insured with them 70-96.

The people at the Hagerty are real "Car People", they support the Classic Car Hobby all over the nation.

Needless to say I don't think you can do better.

FWIW,

Carl B.

Carl-

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - IMO this is the most important part of being with Hagerty, agreed value. I have my '72 insured through them $25K and also my '29 Roadster $30K. I hope everybody has their "Agreed Values" adjusted to todays market of restoration shops. They are not cheap and the labor rates just keeps going up and the parts just keep getting harder and harder to find, not to mention the prices............if the members have not looked at their policies to see what kind of replacement values they have set they could be shocked if they do have a claim in todays economy.
