Hagerty is notorious for telling people over the phone what they want to hear, even when it contradicts the policy contract. It's entirely possible that the policy has changed, you are correct. I would just be hesitant to take their word for it vs. having it pointed out to me in the policy. You went further than most consumers do by reading the policy. thumbs

Maybe after a few years of driving under there belt.



I learned how to drive in this junk, wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. When I drove a rnp car for the first time, it was a breeze because I was so used to old school stuff. I really think it makes me better to have the old car experience since it requires more attention and that’s exactly opposite of the way 99.44% of mfers drive.

did you just not let your kid drive it?


thats the answer right there.. most if not all want you to be 25 years old for classic/collector car insurance.. you either use regular insurance or don't allow them to drive it.. they will get over it.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

I reached out to them for a quote.
they said you have to have 5 years driving experience to be covered. and if you have under 10 years it required a waiver.

don't have 22 cars with hagerty so doubt asking will pull any weight, but it doesn't hurt.

I remember reading something about daily driver being 10 years or newer and drivers have to be 25 years old. I can not find any old policies from Hagerty. I also do not see those in the most recent policy. If anyone has Hagerty and can look for it in the policy, let me know what it says.

It seems like a lot of insurance policies are very vague lately in their wording. I had a hard time trying to find something on hagerty and somewhere else.

They're not, but if they were, that's to the advantage of the consumer. Any ambiguity in policy language must be interpreted in favor of the insured. Either the insurer will do so voluntarily, or the Department of Insurance will make them do so.

That's discouraging. His name has appeared among the listed drivers on the car since I bought it in 2014, at which time he was 17. And they knew that...we discussed it quite clearly. Crazy.

There's no maybe. Vague/ambiguous language must be interpreted in favor of the insured. This is true in all 50 states + D.C. If the policy language is vague/ambiguous, the smart adjuster will just interpret in favor of the insured and save the company time and money. The dumb adjuster will interpret in favor of the company, in which case all the insured has to do is file a complaint with the Department of Insurance, who will then force the insurance company to interpret in favor of the insured. It doesn't cost a dime for a consumer to file a DOI complaint. It's not court, it's not a lawsuit, there's no hearing, there's no appealing. The consumer files a written complaint. The DOI notifies the insurance company, who has 30 days to respond in writing. DOI then makes a decision, and you do what the DOI tells you to do. If the insurance company is lucky, they'll just be told what to do. If there's a pattern of such behavior, the DOI will hit them with huge fines, fines that more than offset any savings that may have occurred by not paying the claim in the first place.

tell that to the people in florida where the insurance co's will not cover the damage as it wasn't the 'cane that ruined your home , but the water... and why is that... cause of the vague/ambiguous language ...

Yes, the storm surge argument, is it flooding, or is it wind driven? That argument has been settled that storm surge is flooding, and anyone who lives in an area prone to flooding/storm surge should have flood insurance, which is only available from the federal government.

Quote
Floods

The National Flood Insurance Program includes in their definition of “flood”: inland tidal waters; unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; and collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood. The big thing to take note of here, no property (that includes any Homeowners and Dwelling Fire Insurance Policy forms)covers flood damage as defined. Damage from flood waters is covered only by a separate Flood Insurance Policy and is subject to policy limits and deductibles.


If someone lives in coastal FL and doesn't have flood insurance, or doesn't know the difference at this point, that's on them. It's not ambiguous. The NFIP defines it for them. Wind blows the roof off and water gets in your home? Homeowners insurance. Storm surge floods your home? Flood insurance. Both happen at the same time? Homeowners buys your roof, the insulation, etc. and flood insurance fixes the flood damage. It's a huge pain for the consumer, no doubt. It's a direct result of insurers saying they were no longer going to rebuild the same property multiple times due to flooding.

Also, mobile homes are personal property, not real property, so depending upon the state, a flooded mobile home is treated as a vehicle, not a house, and is covered the same way a flooded car would be covered.

Vague as in you used to be able to go to hagerty's website or a number of other companies and it was quick to find specific info on what was excluded and other info on the coverage. Now it's harder to find and not much there. Same with what comes in the mail for renwal. Hagerty still had a decent sized envelope of paper work at least.

Right, they did used to have a list on their website of vehicle types they would not insure. They've changed their stance over the last few years regarding cages and power adders, for example.

I have Condon Skelly.

That was the 1st classic car insurance I had way back when. When I canceled and went with Grundy they stabbed me in the back. Low down actions.
They did so many others and were sued. I would not have anything insured with them now.
Low down snake in the grass place.
