 Procrastination time is over, I need to find a cheaper way of insuring my 
v-dubs. I can't drive all of them at once and therefore, some sit in the barn 
for quite a time between use. Has anyone used a collector car insurance 
company? I looked at Hagerty Ins. Co online today and the quote was very 
reasonable...$115 per year for two vehicles with an agreed value of $14,000. 
 
 State Farm is getting about $50.00 per month! My concerns would be 
settlement of claims and customer service. 
 
 Any feedback on this type of coverage would be appreciated.

I have liability insurance on 13 cars or so and have never had a claim. My 
insurer is the Chubb Company. I feel comfortable with them. They refuse to 
insure a car unless you have an apparisal. Typically I give appraisals of 
$30,000 or more. They don't care.
They believe that one fixes his own cars, they frown on driving the car very 
much, but 
that doesn't bother me. I only drive the cars to Bug-in shows and back. I 
forget what my rate is, but about $60/year/car is ok.
