The Hagerty Agent Confidence Engine is a dedicated training hub on hagertyagent.com, built for Hagerty-partnered agents and their teams. The page serves as the central destination for agents looking to deepen their knowledge of collector vehicle insurance, grow their book of business, and differentiate their agency in a specialty market. Training offerings are organized around three core outcomes: Recognize, Place, and Grow. Agents learn to recognize collector vehicle opportunities, place risks with the right Hagerty coverage, and build lasting client relationships that expand their book over time.

Modified vehicles don’t have to mean complicated placement. From hot rods and resto mods to custom imports and high-horsepower builds, Hagerty helps agents confidently quote vehicles built with passion and personalization in mind. Understanding modifications, documenting upgrades, and discussing vehicle value upfront can help streamline underwriting and protect your client’s investment with coverage designed specifically for enthusiast vehicles—including Guaranteed Value® protection.

You may already insure collector car owners without realizing it. Get the simple signals that reveal enthusiast vehicles in your book of business and learn how to turn those moments into easy quoting opportunities.

Most agencies don’t lack opportunity in the collector vehicle space. They lack a clear way to recognize it – and a strategy to act on it. Jeremy Benjamin, Partner at Winton-Ireland, Strom & Green Insurance Agency, is a clear example of what happens when recognition and strategy connect – and scale. Here are five learnings from Jeremy that agents can use to build a collector car growth engine inside an existing book of business.

Most agents don’t miss collector and enthusiast auto business because they “can’t find it.” They miss it because it doesn’t announce itself as enthusiast business. We highlight six customer patterns pulled from Hagerty enthusiast segment demographics to help you spot them, talk to them, and build the full household account.

If you serve clients along the Gulf Coast, in wildfire corridors, or anywhere severe weather has become part of the underwriting conversation, you know this: Catastrophes aren’t hypothetical anymore. And when it hits, it tests every promise made at binding. For owners of classic and enthusiast vehicles, that moment feels different - and Hagerty is built to operate differently.

Each year, Hagerty publishes the Bull Market List, an editorial look at enthusiast vehicles positioned to appreciate in value. On the surface, it’s a conversation about trends in the hobby. For agents, it’s something more powerful: It’s an appetite signal. And that matters because the definition of “collector car” is expanding quickly.

In the last The Accelerator podcast episode of 2025, John and Bryant sit down with Jeff Briglia, Hagerty’s President of Insurance, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, growth, and what’s next for the Hagerty insurance business.

Grounded by personal stories, this episode blends strategy with humanity.
