Hagerty Insurance

An agreed value policy—the same as Hagerty's Guaranteed Value policy—guarantees that you will receive the full insured amount of the vehicle (with no depreciation, and including all sales taxes), in the event of a covered total loss. In contrast, a stated value policy (sometimes called "stated amount" or "maximum limit of liability") gives the insurer the right to pay you either your vehicle's depreciated cash value amount or the cost to replace your vehicle—and they'll choose the lower of the two amounts.

Classic car insurance offers some key benefits compared to daily driver or "regular" insurance.

Lower premiums
We understand your car is a prized passion and will be driven with great caution, so we adjust the premiums accordingly—36% lower on average than daily driver insurance. With a daily driver insurance policy, your classic may be rated like a regular-use vehicle, and you'll be charged as if you were driving the vehicle every day.

Guaranteed Value
More commonly known as "agreed value" coverage, it means you tell us the value of your classic and we'll affirm that it's a fair, accurate number. Then, we guarantee that value will be paid to you in the event of a covered total loss. Regular car insurance carriers offer "actual cash value" or "stated value" coverage, which may depreciate the value of your vehicle in the event of a claim, resulting in a smaller payout than you anticipate.

No fixed mileage
Our policy allows you flexible usage—with no fixed mileage limits. Even if you have full coverage through a regular car insurance carrier, there may be mileage and usage restrictions to control how and when your classic is driven.
