Grundy no longer doing Collector Car Only insurance.

Post by negusm »

No Grundy for me I guess. They don't do Collector Car insurance anymore except in SC or MA. They only do it under comprehensive coverage of all your vehicles.

I have 2 collector cars insured by J.C.Taylor. They were recommended by my regular insurance agent (Erie). I've only had them a couple of years now and haven't had any claims, so I don't know too much about them or what states they underwrite. But the rates seem OK Here's some info:

Cool, Classic Underwriters is operating in TX. So for those of us who have Grundy now, I assume we're good until our current policies expire?

Unless you got it through some Philadephia company or something. Those policies are defunct apparently.

This all switched in October I guess.

Current policies should be no problem.

Yes, they can't take your money and cancel you. They might even allow old policies to continue forever for all I know.

Once the underwriter has agreed to your policy there is no reason for them to cancel it.

I am assuming NEW policies won't pass their underwriters now, so they only offer full coverage on ALL vehicles.

I finally went with Hagerty. They get good reviews (although I know one person here had a really bad experience with them). I was a little shy of the brand new company covering me adequately.

I hope Grundy keeps my policy. I had one claim, they were great to work with no hassle at all. Reasonable on rate too!

The switch-over from Grundy to the company formerly associated with it, Philadelphia whatever-it's-called, was a pain, since I was adding and removing cars over the past couple of months. It ultimately worked out, and my policy remains in force.

I had put ALL my vehicles into Grundy to get a quote. You can do this if you have 3 or more vehicles.

They refused me because I don't have a minimum $75k worth of vehicles to insure.

Dayum.

(I have a 2002 4Runner, 2003 Odyssey and my asc...I had $45k down for them).
