Default HPDE insurance

I've gotten Lockton Motorsport track insure the last two seasons, $25K with 10% deductible. Did a quick quote from Hagerty and the price was within a few dollars but they include environmental clean up (speedy dry). Thinking about the Lockton "six-pack" which basically gives me one weekend for free. Got an HPDE at Summit Point this weekend, Mar 9-10, so need to pull the trigger. Comments or recommendations welcome.

Open track beats hagerty and lockton every time for me. I have just about quit checking lockton and hagerty/RLI. Check on open track and just compare quotes.

Lowest value Open Track has is $30K. I only need $25K. $90 more with their sales tax. Thinking about a 981 after this season, so will keep Open Track as an option if and when I get a more valuable ride.

For me it came down to Events / Year math. My break even point between Lockton and Open Track was 6 events. So doing way more than 6 events per year made Open Track a no brainer.

Kitc - If your at the PCA event this weekend look me up and I’ll explain how the Open Track claim process worked with a fellow Potomac PCA driver. It was pretty cool.

Open Track if you're doing more than 5 or 6 events.

Just make sure to play with the estimator tool. Last I checked for the one-year policy, the effective minimum coverage was 75k. You could select a lower agreed value, but it wouldn’t change the premium! They need to tune up their UI I think.

I used Open track last year as they were cheaper based on the vehicle value I input. I also noticed that while their lowest option is for $30k, the price is the same as $50k.
I also noticed their prices vary a lot depending on what state the event is in (taxes and such). It was >$50 more to insure my car in Illinois than it was in Michigan.

Just as a point of information. Hagerty will write insurance for TT events.

Just purchased HPDE insurance from Hagerty for this weekend. Paid $200 for $26,200 w/10% deductible. I added $1,200 mod for my Sport/Sport+ upgrade with a $25K car value. Didn't do a current quote with Lockton, but last year for $25K was $192. Hagerty includes:
  • Towing and Storage
  • Rental Car Reimbursement
  • Pollutant Cleanup and Removal

The only pain and suffering in that situation is the pain you feel when writing the check to the club for the Armco and the 2nd check you write to your body shop for your deductible.
For the record, I am not speaking from experience.....YET!!
