Really Alam? They let me have FOUR named drivers without any extra cost involved :?: You might not want to push them if you're happy with your arrangement though... :wink: :)

...I'm looking for EU cover for more than 90 days, any suggestions? Unfortunately I cannot go with Hagerty as I'm under 30. Any help would be appreciated!

Well have to say I'm very dissapointed with Hagerty.

Their new policy does not allow track days, limits mileage for cars newer than 1990 to 3000pa and doesn't cover drivers under 30.

Oh and their premiums have gone up quite a bit following all these changes.

Will be changing on renewal tomorrrow so recommendations welcome. Classicline is looking favourite.

Shame as I raved about Hagerty and recommended them to a LOT of people. Had over 30 people email me in 2 days saying they'd be leaving on renewal because of the changes.

:(

Is it fair to assume they had a large claim from someone under 30 on a track day?

Just had our renewal through, £160, through Heritage. Worth a call 08453734776.
Only downside is we need a new valuation as a bit underinsured at the moment.
Anyone know how to get car revalued. :lol:

I have just renewed with Hagerty. There was £50 difference between them and the next one(!). Admittedly it has gone up £30 from last year, which went down £25 from the year before!

Just as a heads up for all going to CLM, even though you are covered to drive anyone else's car, who is insured through Hagerty for Europe, they suggested that I get my "co-driver" to be a named driver (free) as sometimes it can get lost in translation with the French police!

re-newed with Hagerty again as they are still the cheapest by a long way.


I love the fact i can speak to a person who knows me and has all my details in front of them so i dont have to repeat all the answers to those stupid questions every time i phone.


i also like the fact that i can lend my cars to anyone whos already has their own car insured with Hagerty without pre arranging it and without it costing either of us a penny. 8)

Hi,
I'm with Hagertry at the moment . Does anyone know if I'm supposed to inform them if I take the car abroad ? ( This applies to the breakdown cover as well ) . This is my first year with them so I'm not sure if it's required.
thanks...Russ

Must echo Jason's comments above, just got my Hagerty renewal invitation in the post...... +21% on last year for exactly the same cover on a couple of cars and no claims in the last 12 months!

Is this an industry wide trend?

Any suggestions on alternatives would be appreciated.

Thanks

it's always worth phoning around a few just to check but it seems there is a general upward trend in premiums this year :?
