Hello out there.....I have used Infinity Insurance for ten years and they have been very good for me. My renewal just came up and I asked if my car got stolen how much would I get? My agent first said $10,000.....then said between $7,500 and $15,000. I think I need a higher value to be made whole in case of a disaster. I called Hagerty and they don't insure in California unless you have a garage (due to theft in California). Anyone know of a good insurance company that won't break the bank? I think my yearly premium is about $900. Thank you very much.

I think all named-value "classic" car insurance companies require the car to be stored in a locked garage, not outside nor in a trailer.

I'm with American Modern (through Hagerty) for both the street 914 and the race 914 and Civic Si (latter "storage, transportation, and paddock" only). All policies require a locked garage for storage.

So, absent a locked garage, you are stuck with regular comp/collision insurance, will will leave you subject to the insurance adjuster's whims on replacement value.

Pretty sure all the regular insurers will let you do declared value. I know Progressive would, but I wasn't that happy with the cost compared to classic ins.

And replacement value is different then agreed value.

I’m with American. $140 for the first 914, $75 for the second - per year. But a garage is mandatory.

Believe it or not, I got great coverage and pricing from Chubb. Only about $300 / year for my 914, valued at 25K.

Best to just ask your local Chubb broker. But I know my policy limits driving to 3K miles per year.

I recently inquired with Leland West for my 914 and Karmann Ghia. I couldn't believe how unprofessional they treated me. I only tried them because of their ads in Panorama and a possible PCA discount.

They were really weird to deal with, I went with Hagerty. Easy peasy.

Hagerty every time. I had a claim with them in another vehicle some years back. They went far above and beyond to make sure it was properly repaired.

Agreed value? If so I am switching from America Modern.

Got screwed on a claim by State Farce, so never again. All insurance carriers are great at accepting your money, but how they treat claims is the real test.

I got a quote from state farm or farmers the price was good as I was doing house and all the cars on them. They even said they had agreed value policies fro the porsches.

I asked a few more questions on it. They said, I would pick the price, and pay the premium for the coverage. however, when a loss occurs they will come out and then tell me what they think my car is worth. I ran as fast as I could..

I have an insurance broker who is good at reading the fine print and explaining what I am really buying. He doesn’t make as much being honest but I’ve referred him to a dozen people so he knows the value and does well in the end.

Would any of these "specialized" insurer cover my daily driven 914 (about 5-10k mi/yr) garaged kept?

My experience in running the traps with most of the mentioned carriers is that they will not offer firm value policies without driving restrictions, including mileage limits and specifically no daily driving or commuting. As mentioned, all require garage storage and need to see an additional available means of daily transportation.
Had the completely opposite experience from Larmo's with Leland West. Quick and responsive when I switched a year ago and also when I renewed and upped the value on the -6 just a week or so ago.
Wish any of the carriers would offer agreed value on my resto-mod '74 Landcruiser but all exclude any off road activity.
