Re: {SPAM?} Re: Collector car insurance



Thanks Jim,
  I know most of that. I need to talk to my State Farm agent again as their Collector polcy was a little more lenient IIRC. I think it was about twice the cost of my stated Value Haggerty policy, but the agent stated they would pay if I used the vehicle as a back up once and a while as long as it wasn't an everyday driver.
  Haggerty seems to have a stricter code.
I'll probably just let it go till next summer at this point as things are starting to get busy here at work and the sun is starting to set early and my winter blues are trying to creep in!!!! AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

>AS I UNDERSTAND IT, Collector Car Insurance is for a car that is for hobby purposes only, is not used as a backup to any vehicle, is not used for work under any circumstances, and you're allowed a certain mileage figure a year.  I do have a stated value of the vehicle.  Each driver in the household must have a vehicle that they use as a primary vehicle.  Plus, the vehicle has to stay in a locked garage on the property/primary residence.

>This is why the premium is so much cheaper!  I didn't take it off my regular policy until now because it's only been in the last month or so (well, really since the heat of summer hit and the Rambler has NO AC!), that I committed to having it as a hobby-only car.  My regular policy was ~$450/yr vs $68/yr for the CCI.

My '69 Hot Rod Rambler isn't insured at all at this time as it's apart in my garage, but I'm going to have to put it on CCI as well even tho it's apart if I want to keep the plate that's on it (RUMBLR) when it's time to renew next yr.  CCI will be a good choice for that.
