Qualification for our collector vehicle insurance program depends on vehicle and owner guidelines.
Usage and Mileage
Policies through Hagerty allow the collector vehicle to be used for club functions, exhibitions, organized meets, tours and even occasional pleasure driving — it just can't be a daily driver. Regular driving to work and/or for errands up to 5 months a year as a Seasonal Driver may be considered.
Qualification for our classic car insurance program depends on vehicle and owner guidelines.
Usage and mileage requirements may differ based on the vehicle that is being insured, such as collector trucks or vehicles that are 1990 and newer. Please review specific vehicle guidelines for this information.
Mileage of 3,500 or less is generally consistent with operating vehicles that have collectible value. Mileage up to 7,500 may be considered.
Storage
Though we prefer that collector vehicles are stored in an enclosed, secure structure when not in use - such as a private garage, pole barn, car condo or storage unit - we will consider other storage types, including:
Carports may be considered in all states except CA and FL (counties of Broward, Miami-Dade & Monroe)
- Must have 24 hour security such as an alarm system, guard or video surveillance
- Must be limited access (not for public use)
- Assigned parking spaces are preferable
Parking Garages may be considered in all states except CA
- Must have 24 hour security such as an alarm system, guard or video surveillance
- Must be limited access (not for public use)
- Assigned parking spaces are preferable
Car hauling trailers and other enclosed structures may be considered in all states except CA
- Must be located in a secure location
Vehicles kept in driveways may be considered in all states except CA, CO, FL or HI
- Must not be within 50 miles of the coast in LA
- Vehicle value must not exceed $50,000
- Motorcycles and some modified vehicles are not eligible if stored in a driveway
Unacceptable storage includes:
- Temporary storage facilities assembled of canvas or plastic (i.e. tents, domes or igloos)
- Streets
- Parking lots
- Public parking garages
Driver Eligibility
In most states, we can't offer coverage to drivers with a serious infraction. Serious infractions include:
- Alcohol-related offenses
- Reckless driving
- Excessive speed violations
All household driving records are subject to underwriter review. Generally one or two minor violations or accidents are acceptable.
Vehicles That May Not Qualify
Because we provide low-cost, Guaranteed Value© coverage, we are not able to provide coverage for certain vehicles due to how they are used and the increased risk associated. Examples of vehicles not eligible include:
- Off-road or recreational vehicles
- Vehicles driven on a daily basis
- Commercial-use vehicles
- Motorcycles with performance modifications
Please Note: Policies through Hagerty differ from standard insurance in that we don't have a price for every type of risk. We determine eligibility based upon the accumulation of all risk characteristics related to our program guidelines.
Coverage Limits
Hagerty encourages liability limits to be less than or equal to the limits carried on the Personal Auto Policy (PAP).
If an applicant does not have a Personal Auto Policy, we can consider Business Auto Policies (BAP) with the appropriate personal liability endorsements attached (Drive Other Car (DOC) or Individual Named Insured (INI)). Exception: The maximum limits we will offer in GA, KS, MN, NY, and NC are state minimum limits when the applicant has only a Business Auto Policy.
Daily Use Vehicles
- All household members with a valid driver’s license must have a vehicle to drive on a daily basis
- Clients with less than one daily use vehicle per driver may be considered
- The daily use vehicle should be reliable
- Motorcycles and public transportation are not considered viable daily use vehicles by our program in most cases (contact us for details)
- Applicants must also maintain daily use insurance in their own names
