Looks like I'll give Hagerty a call. Hey Joker, this is general truck talk. I'm insuring my 1950 1/2 ton. Where else on OUR forum would you suggest I should have gone to ask my question?

suppose ever one knows that your grey goose is a truck...and then you ask for suggestion for an insurance company for classic cars..??
I posted a pix of a rear end from a 62 chevy truck for a member to read
to found out what he was doing with it..............it got moved to the spoon, go figure..........I meant no harm to you...
I have my 52 sedan thru Hag, it is for a fixed amount, keep the car garaged but no limit on miles... it runs about 260 a yr..I also used them when I had my 52 truck...mine has went up about 30 bucks over the past couple of yrs...seems like they all do that...good luck with your choice..
by the way, do you have a pix of your grey goose

Since I'm a member of this forum I assumed everyone would know I was a truck person but I also love the classic cars. I do have pictures of her in prime and will be painting the truck a deep metallic grey soon. I probably should post them. Love your 52 sedan.

Just because you insure with one company or another for years doesn't mean they are always going to have the lowest rates for you.
Remember ... Insurance companies are in business to make a profit. Period. Taking care of loyal customers makes for a good advertising sound bite but it doesn't wash with the stock holders at the end of the year. Make 'em work for it by shopping around and making them compete for *your* business. Whether it's your modern daily drivers, your antique 1/2-tons or your antique Big Bolts, shop around and get competitive quotes (Your results will probably differ from everyone else's -- just because Company X gives me a good rate, doesn't mean they'll give you the same rate).
The best insurance rates go to those who do their homework and shop around. Know what you need and go "dialing for dollars." In my opinion, Insurance is just legal extortion (and my grandfather was a corporate executive in the Insurance Industry*...), so don't just roll over and be an easy "mark."
Just a thought...
Merry Christmas!

And if you have multiple vehicles with them, all are covered for liability at the same price. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 | I use an insurance called milemeter for a couple of my vehicles that I don't put many miles on or use regularly.
Where I used to pay $86 a month each, I now pay close to the same every 6 months, each.
The program is for 6 months or 1,000 miles but if I exceed my mileage in the 6 month period, I can always add miles.
I have a hunting jeep CJ5 used during season and my wife's Grand Cherokee that she drives a block to work each day. These are both covered with this company. Next I'll add my '59 Apache that won't be a daily driver but will be covered.
I'm all about saving money these days.
