Classic Car Coverage
Made Simple
Step One: Valuation – Use Hagerty’s online valuation tool to receive an accurate valuation of your classic car, classic truck, classic military vehicle, trailer, tractor, or even a vehicle in the process of restoration.
Step Two: Qualifying as Pleasure Use Vehicle– As long as you have another vehicle in your household that is driven daily, you can insure your classic car as a pleasure-use vehicle.
