Insurance questions - 04-23-2002, 10:44 AM


OK, I think maybe it would be a good idea to get insurance.

1 - What company do you use?
2 - Did they make you get a seperate marine policy and what is
covered?
3 - Have your claims been taken care of promptly and fairly?

Hagerty Insurance Agency in Traverse City Michigan insures classic and
antique cars , boats and amphicars. They are the guys that provided the
Amphicar club with the photo pins in the goody bags in Celina last year.
Most important is they know their business and won't waste your time with
stupid questions. They are affordable and knowledgable. Phone (800) 922

Cap'n,

Here is a re-post of an insurance email from last year....

You may have good or even better luck with someone else, but do at least
give Hagerty a call so you can compare.
They have a separate marine policy.
As for claims....well, I only have had one. A stone chip in the windshield.
They had no problem whatsoever....no deductible....no delay....no increase
in premiums. As eBay folks would say...."AAAA++++ transaction."

I of course have no relationship with them....just a happy customer. But
heck, they made buttons for everyone in Celina the last two years!

.....once again Insurance comes up in discussion.....

Many Amphicar owners use Hagerty Insurance. They know what an Amphicar
is...they let you drive the car without restrictions....and they cover you
in water. They even have an agent in charge of Amphicars!

Cap'n John:
I second this. There excellent and you won't ever have to worry about what
will happen if you have a claim especially while in the water. You will
like the rates too.

Anyone have any other options...

Craig:

II just found out last week and returned to State Farm for Amphi Insurance.
They charge about $350/ six months but allow you to just pay for the comp
during the winter months - providing you aren't ddriving it during the
winter of course which I am not. Still, there might be better deals out
there and if you hear of any let me know. Whats wrong with the hagerty
group? Don't they like money? Take care, Sid

Re: RE: Insurance questions - 04-24-2002, 03:17 PM


I may be the only one not with Haggerty. Do you have
State Farm in Alaska? I have been with them for at
least 15 years(only 1 with the Amphi). Believe it or
not, with their Antique Auto policy, where you specify
the value of the vehicle, the Amphi is also covered
for physical damage and liablility in the water with
no seperate boat policy. It took about a week for my
agent to get the answer from the higher-ups in State
Farm because the question never came up
before(surprise). Answer- as long as the vehicle isn't
driven more than 2500 miles annually, the policy
covers land and water perils. I asked and received a
letter to that affect just in case I have some mishap
on the water. Because my other cars are with them the
total policy on the Amphi is about $80 for six months
which for Michigan insurance is a bargain. I have
never had a claim for the Amphi but have for other
vehicles and they were very prompt. Sounds like I'm in
the minority but when I called Haggerty, they gave me
someone who never heard of Amphicar and couldn't
answer my questions so I went elsewhere.
