STANDARD BENEFITS
Hagerty's classic car insurance policy has been recognized as the most
comprehensive classic car policy available in the UK (as per Advertising
Standards Authority letter dated 12th July 2006). The benefits of the Hagerty
classic car policy not only set Hagerty apart from standard insurance
companies, but other specialty companies as well.
Each Hagerty classic car policy benefit is based on our own personal experiences
as collectors and on feedback we've gotten from our clients (and fellow
collectors) and hundreds of car shows and events all around the world.
AGREED
VALUE
All our policies are written on an AGREED VALUE basis from inception. We agree the value of your vehicle with you at the time of quoting. Once we have both agreed the value of your classic car or classic car collection this means that, in the event that your vehicle is written off, we shall pay you the FULL AGREED VALUE when you take out insurance with Hagerty International.
To ensure that your policy remains an AGREED VALUE policy for the full term we ask for colour photos of the car and the engine within 30 days of buying the cover. To make life easier, these photos can be emailed and be of digital quality.
WE DO NOT HAVE HIDDEN OR ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR AGREED VALUE POLICIES!
LEGAL EXPENSES COVERAGE up to £50,000
We offer this insurance in our policy to cover you in the event of a claim and you are required to employ a solicitor or legal advisor and hence incur additional expenses.
RESTORATION COVERAGE increased AGREED VALUES at NO EXTRA COST
We offer a discounted product for cars in restoration. We carefully underwrite these vehicles and offer this cover for cars which are nearing the end of any restoration (i.e. within 2 years).
In addition, if your car is insured with Hagerty International and then is taken to a restorer, we automatically increase the value of the car by 20%, being conscience of the fact that any restoration work will normally increase the value of the vehicle. This increase is then valid until your renewal.
EVENT AND RALLY COVERAGE
We are happy to offer you cover to attend shows, events and most rallies, whether they are organised by your local car club or another recognised company with experience in this arena. We cover most regularity rallies in the UK and Europe but we do increase your excess by an additional £750 and request notification before participating in each regularity rally. We regret that we cannot offer cover if you wish to race your car on a track, private land or on a hillclimb (unless arranged by the Masters Series www.themastersseries.com).
EUROPEAN
UNION TRAVEL
You can travel to the EU as many times as you like during the policy period, for a maximum of 90 days during the policy period.
LIMITED MILEAGE
Unlike some of our competitors, we want you to drive your car! You can drive the car as much as you want with discounted premium benefits applying to limited mileage cover.
PERSONAL ACCIDENT
If, in the event of an accident, you or your husband / wife are injured we will pay personal accident benefits upto £5,000, however higher limits are available upon request.
SALVAGE
OPTIONS
In the event that your vehicle is written off, we can either keep the salvage of the car ourselves, or pass this onto you. We do stipulate, however, that if you retain the salvage that you handle it in accordance with the relevant legislation.
DRIVING OTHER CARS insured by HAGERTY INTERNATIONAL
When you take out a policy with Hagerty International, you can drive any other car insured by Hagerty International (subject to owners' approval).
SPARE PARTS COVER
We offer you a sub limit of £250 for spare parts cover. We do stipulate that these spare parts are kept locked in your garage.
AWARD WINNING 24 HOURS CLAIMS ASSISTANCE
Exactly what it says! When you take out a policy with Hagerty International we will provide you with a dedicated number should you ever need assistance in the event of an accident. Our Claims Start team have won awards on behalf of Allianz (voted the Best Insurance Company in the UK on 2004 2005). The Claims Start team are on the end of the phone 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
12 POINTS PLUS
Should you be suspended from driving for speeding (i.e. should your speeding offense take you over the 12 points required to keep your license) we will pay upto £125 per day for travel expenses to a Club Event. The most we will pay in any one year for this benefit is £6,000 per person.
OPTIONAL BENEFITS
CHERISHED
PLATE COVER
We offer a sub limit for a cherished plate on your vehicle. The maximum we offer for this sub limit is £10,000 and we charge an additional premium of 1% of the sub limit for this cover. The plate has to be registered as a cherished plate though!
REINSTATEMENT / EXCESS COVERAGE
We offer cover in excess of the Agreed Value of the vehicle. In other words, we recognise that a specialist body part or repairer may be needed in the event of a claim and this often costs more than the previously Agreed Value.
Therefore, we offer 25% Excess Coverage for such a circumstance. So a value of £10,000 can be increased to an Excess Value of £12,500. We only charge 10% additional premium for this benefit.
TRACK DAY COVER
We offer specialist cover for you should you want to take your car on to a racing track and really test the engineering of the machine! This is offered on the condition that whilst enjoying the track day, there is no racing. This cover is offered to you for any accident that may occur whilst on the track and the benefit is only 10% of the annual premium per event.
