Question Leland West Insurance?

Any of you guys use Leland West? Happy? Any other specialty maket suggestions? They are about half what my std carrier wants to charge me. As usual, thanks in advance.

Hagerty is a potential option. Agreed value is a plus. Rates are also very attractive, don't know about mileage limitations, but I think it was reasonable for a non daily use car. Hope that helps. Remember that these bloody insurance cover extortionists have gotten very smart about exclusions related to ANY track event, at least in Hagerty's case. I read their paper and had to back away because of that. And due to a change in insurance coverage source necessitating a pull of my driving record (not pretty).

I use Leland-West. They are brokers, the actual underwriter is American Modern Home out of Ohio. To use Leland-West you have to be a member of PCA. Other restictions/limits are annual milage - 1000, 2500, 5000; locked garage; no driving to work; no track coverage; agreed upon valuation (generally sale price); insurace on another car (you will have to supply a copy of that policy with your app) and you will need t submit pictures of the car and garage to them. They are great to work with. A couple of years ago I had to have a windshield replaced in my 964 and by using their recommended vendor I did not have to pay the comprehensive deductable ($500). My (kind of) 1995 C4 Cab w/82500k costs $414 a year to insure at 5000 miles a year. You could try a google search for "clasiis" or "collector" car insurance or else look in Pano, Excellence or another p-car magazine.

What's left? -- weekend 'constitutionals'? Bench racing? Green grass concourse? [involuntary shudder]

(may as well put in for my milk toast dinner & AARP enlistment while I'm at it. Or, go without.)

Default Leland west

I use Leland west also. I haven't had any claims but their cost was about 1/4 of what I was paying State Farm. They are good to work with as far as customer service goes. I have the 5000 mile limit. Any miles not used rolls over to the next year... kind of sounds like a cell phone plan.

The miles rollover? I did not know that - I can drive around the world then! LOL. I average under 2500 miles a year but have the 5000 mile cap for just in case.

Default Agreed value?

The reason I called LW was the whole agreed value thing - well they tell me it will only be the bill of sale price, no more. maybe later when I improve it with mods.... I guess they think I'm going to insure it for $5,000 more than I paid for it then torch it......

I found my own insurance company (Geico) was cheaper than Leland, and Hagerty, for a 93 cab.

Blake,

You'll need to get track insurance for the days yuo'll need it. I am pretty sure I've seen it in Pano, can't remember if Excellence carried the ad.
