Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between agreed value and stated value insurance coverage?
An agreed value policy—the same as a Guaranteed Value policy through Hagerty—guarantees that you will receive the full insured amount of the vehicle (with no depreciation, and including all sales taxes), in the event of a covered total loss.
In contrast, a stated value policy (sometimes called "stated amount" or "maximum limit of liability") gives the insurer the right to pay you either your vehicle's depreciated cash value amount or the cost to replace your vehicle—and they'll choose the lower of the two amounts.
How is classic car insurance different from regular car insurance?
Classic car insurance offers some key benefits compared to daily driver or "regular" insurance.
Lower premiums
We understand your car is a prized passion and will be driven with great caution, so premiums through Hagerty are adjusted accordingly—34% lower on average than daily driver insurance. With a daily driver insurance policy, your classic may be rated like a regular-use vehicle, and you'll be charged as if you were driving the vehicle every day.
Guaranteed Value
More commonly known as "agreed value" coverage, it means you tell us the value of your classic and we'll affirm that it's a fair, accurate number. Then, we guarantee that value will be paid to you in the event of a covered total loss. Regular car insurance carriers offer "actual cash value" or "stated value" coverage, which may depreciate the value of your vehicle in the event of a claim, resulting in a smaller payout than you anticipate.
Flexible usage
A policy through Hagerty allows you flexible usage. Even if you have full coverage through a regular car insurance carrier, there may be mileage and usage restrictions to control how and when your classic is driven.
There are several more benefits classic car policy holders enjoy, visit our Compare to Daily Driver Insurance section to see some more.
* Any deductible and/or salvage value if vehicle is retained by you will be subtracted from the total amount paid. Guaranteed Value includes all taxes and fees unless prohibited by state law.
** Occasional pleasure use does not mean use for daily driving to and from work or school, routine shopping, etc.
