I went with haggety.. they do lots of classics..my firengine had a low value on it and the insurance was dirt cheap.. of course I was only using it for shows and the like and the mileage relected that,,, if you know what I mean...

They were super easy to deal with...

If you're only interested in liability requirements you would probably be wise to talk to your current agent for your other vehicles. Collector car insurance is a different angle.

Your current company will probably have some kind of "multi-vehicle" discount. If you have some assets, and homeowners, umbrella policy this will be required anyway. Don't just insure for the state required "minimums", liability insurance is relatively inexpensive but if something were to happen that was your fault the limits of the policy would get busted real quick these days, especially the medical payments side of things. Even a bulletproof policy should be pretty cheap.

Buy as much liability as you can. And go through your brakes and steering.

Progressive insurance for me, It helps to have a CDL, good discount for that.

X2 on progressive and the CDL really helps if you have a larger truck.

$15000 is not enough if you have more to your name than the clothes on your back.

The $15,000 is just on the truck it self if I total it or burns up that's what they will pay out-

I read it to say $15000 liability, but I see now that is not the case. My apologies.
