Agreed upon value insurance policies

Just fill out this paperwork, note the "race car" section, make an appointment with DMV, they do a VIN inspection, pay the registration fee which was like $100 I think, and got plates in the mail a few weeks later! No smog, obviously and thankfully.

I’ll give it a try although it doesn’t actually meet the definition as defined...plus I’m sure my insurance would go up. Probably depends on the DMV employee and how good they are at their job 🤣

I know nothing about this. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks!

You know here in Oregon you can get those sweet SP "race car" license plates which allows you to street drive the car for testing, and drive to and from events/tracks. I have one on my track car. It's also a one-time fee and the registration lasts the life of the car.

Does this cover you for damage on track as well?

Nope. Moment I hit hot pits, coverage is off. In the paddock I’m good.

I have my track car and featherlite trailer insured with Hagerty. Car isn't registered and is only tracked. For an agreed upon value of $21.5k for the car (I probably need to increase this with the current M3 market) and $7k for the trailer, it was only $300/year. Process was pain free and considering the vehicle isn't registered this is liability only, and far superior to what any "normal" company would give me.

Just signed up for Hagerty with an agreed value of $40k for my track car for about $800 a year. I was in the same situation with bare min insurance from Progressive so it made more sense to get better coverage for the car from another provider.

sure you want to take the blue one with you?!?!

Yes I am shipping both of them haha

It is, especially if you live in the colder climates and it is stored in the garage for several months at a time. My E46 doesn't even see 500 miles a year so any insurance for me is really just money down the drain since it is tucked away safely in the garage 360 days a year. It is kind of stupid to pay a grand a year to drive that car 4 hours annually but it is what it is. It all depends on your usage honestly.

I have Safeco insurance with agreed value and coverage on all my aftermarket parts. My agent is the best and says she'd recommend Chubbs if I were making 7 figures, but based on my salary there is no point and Safeco has been solid for me. I've had USAA, and I don't get the same treatment or experience and I'd have with Safeco.

Yeah, they were the first quote I got because of the name but 2k/year is kind of crazy for what it is.

Hagerty was much more expensive for me too. That's why I have Grundy. Hagerty is well known among enthusiasts.

I’ve had my m3 under classic/collectors car insurance for the last 5-6yrs when they first recognized the e46 as a collector. I have “American Collectors Insurance”. I set an agreed value of $27.5k i believe and my premium with the M3 and my E30 ($18k value) combined is $700ish a year. I had a claim years back for my E30 and they were a pleasure to deal with. Gave them a list of parts the car needed for repair from the dealer and they simply cut me a check for the parts and had a choice at whatever shop did they work....and sent a supplement check for that. I’m allowed 5500 miles a year per car

I'm considering them as well. The small discount being a USAA member is cool too. I just entered mine at $30k with a $1k deductible for 6k miles/year and they quoted $816/year which is a couple dollars cheaper than what I currently pay for it.

I've looked at both Grundy and Hagerty. Both have less than stellar customer reviews from what I've seen but that seems to be common place for most of these companies. Everyone is happy until they need to submit a claim and have to jump through 100 hoops. There was also a huge price gap form Hagerty to Grundy. Granted, I only did the basic quotes but for the same info plugged in Hagerty was $2,023/year with a $2,500 deductible and Grundy was $396/year with no deductible.
