Hagerty collision claim raises other premiums?

Post by baltobernie »

I recently experienced a shunt on a group drive in my 1973 Spider, insured by Hagerty.

Have any of you with Hagerty insurance on your vintage car filed a collision claim? Did your rates on your other policy(s) for your modern cars go up afterwards? I'd expect my Hagerty premium to be raised, but that's not my concern.

I can't really answer your questions as I have no direct experience, but I do know that if I were to have an accident on my record, I would lose my "good driver" or "superior driver" discount, and my premiums would go up accordingly. I believe I have to be "incident-free" for 5 years to qualify for these rates, but I don't know how often an insurance company would check my record. Of course, if I filed a claim with one insurance company they would certainly know, but whether my other insurance company would find out, is not clear. I suspect they would, given all the personal data collection that is going on these days.

Yes. No.

I was never at fault though.
