My agent told me today that Hagerty is no more. He told me the name of the company who bought them out, but I already forgot it. Perhaps their offerings might change now?
Well, as far as I'm concerned, they are no more for me.
They're always pushing their wares at car shows. I've had their refridgerator magnets and tote bags knocking around the house for quite a while, and their website is still up. They sent me a quote, which their intransigent customer service rep backpedaled on, so I'm reasonably certain they're still around - but not for me.
The only reason I even approached Hagerty is because I really didn't think I could talk American Family into covering this road-ready monstrosity. But to Ron's point, we've got the Subaru, the F-150, the MGB and the house covered through them, along with an umbrella policy - which I guess covers litigious legal altercations involving umbrellas. My agent ran it up the flag pole and got it approved.
What's cool about Peter, my agent, is that he's owned an MGB, and is very aware of the mods and the large number of V8 conversions out there. I was completely up front with him, included pictures of the Sprite, the upgrades, the engine, the wheels poking out from the fender wells, my plan to drive it to Wendover - and he didn't flinch.
It wasn't as cheap as the initial quote I got from Hagerty, but if I clip an elk outside of Rawlins, I'm covered by something other than deer dung.
28 years as a customer with no claims probably had something to do with it as well.
