Default Insurance Renewal

My Hagerty policy is up for renewal in October. I haven't had a spotless record over the past 5-years but what do folks think of my renewal quote and coverage. No mileage limit, Bodily Injury $50K/100K per accident, 50K property damage, uninsured 100k per accident. Guaranteed value is 44k for my C4S, and the renewal is $812/year

I've got:
$500K bodily injury per person per occurance
$500K uninsured/underinsured motorist per person/per occurance
$100K property damage
$1K deductible comprehensive/collision
$0 deductible on glass
No mileage limit
$631/year

I also have an additional $1 million umbrella policy on all my vehicles and real property for an additional $90/year.

My location is rural Georgia...A big difference from Venice Beach

50K/100K coverage is a little low in my opinion. One can burn through that amount with a hospital stay pretty damn quick. I'd get at least 100K/300K, personally.

Check Grundy. Rates will assuredly be better.

+1 on the 100K/300K. I suggest you change your daily driver to this amount. It's been the suggested [minimum] amount for quite some time...and the difference is probably less than $100 per year on your policy.

The internet quote from Grundy was a little lower (assuming the same coverage for an apples/apples comparison). In case the worst happens how is their service. How do people like their insurance?

Not that this is a fair comparison, but my 1964 T-Bird convertible is covered 100K/300K unlimited mileage with J.C. Taylor Antique Car Insurance for $180/year. I don't think they cover any car less than 20 years old though.

For $718 a year with State Farm I have

$250K / $500K bodily injury per person per occurance
$100K / $300K uninsured/underinsured motorist per person/per occurance
$100K property damage
$1K deductible comprehensive/collision

I have a clean driving record.

I also have an additional $1 million umbrella policy on all my vehicles and real property for an additional $635 a year.

Looks like I am paying a lot more than others.... But this is Los Angeles where unlicensed drivers and uninsured drivers are abundant.

Search within this forum. Others have testified to successful claim transactions with Grundy. In my case I simply found them to be ~$300 cheaper than Hagerty on a annual basis.

Chuck, I have the utmost respect for you, but I'm not surprised you have a clean driving record. You're a police officer with the LAPD. I'd imagine there are very, very few cops without a stellar driving record in L.A.

I work in showbiz, and I haven't paid for a film in 20 years. Not a coincidence.

When I was reinsuring the Club Coupe to switch to stated value insurance, Heacock was significantly cheaper that Hagarty. Haven't had a claim yet, thank goodness.
