Anyone using Grundy for insurance? Comments and experiences?

Grundy provides collector car insurance for agreed value of car, limited to pleasure use and cars must be garaged. Quote I got today would reduce my annual premium substantially over standard State Farm insurance. Anyone have experience with them?

thanks

I tried to get insurance with them but Im not old enough (22) you have to be 25 But I do know they run an ad on speedchannel on tv and they are supposed to be a good company.

what mileage are you limited to?

Honkity Hank

No mileage limit. But the car cannot be a daily driver, only for pleasure use and you need to have another car, oh and it has to be garaged.

I also tried with them. They basically wanted me to not drive the car. I mentioned that it may be taken to the store or out to dinner. They said "ummm no". I think they just want you driving it to shows and stuff like that.

I have 7 of my 15 cars w/ them.

They do have good prices...and they do stress that the car should ONLY be driven to/from shows or on the rare Sunday drive. No daily pimpin' around stuff.

I tagged a deer w/ my 911 while on the way to the Hershey swap in April. The claims lady had to ask me 3 times where I was headed, almost like she didn't believe me. Needless to say, the check was cut promptly and w/o hassle.

They did give me gruff over the value of my stroked 93 928 GTS. Had to go thru 3 underwrites to finally get what I wanted. I kindly mentioned the 'volume' of cars I have w/ them. Funny, all was cool after that.

Well I got another email from them and they said that since i will use it for 3 or 4 driving events every year that they cannont insure it. Oh well teh price is low for a reason, they really want to limit their risk and that is what you pay for, if you have a Scott M situation then it works, us mere mortals have to stick with the regular suspects.

I am looking into Leland West through PCA (they are also a Rennlist sponsor.) They quoted me around $550 a year for $500 deductable and full glass ($0 ded. on the glass if you go through Safelite.) That was with a 5000 mile/year limit. To qualify you must have a 10yo or newer 'daily driver' and you cannot use the car they insure for work. You must also keep the car in a locked garage. I doubt they can give you a 5000 mile limit and not expect you to use the car for stuff (just not driving to work every day.)
The mileage limit is OK with me as I split my driving between my cars and my bad-weather-and-hauling-stuff van. If I can work it out with Leland-West I'll save $1200 a year and have slightly better coverage.

I plan to give them a try but they need to see a copy of my PCA membership card which I have not received yet.

A friend of mine who has some classic British cars uses Haggerty insurance through a local independant agent. That might also be an option.
