Quote from James Neufeld on March 21, 2022, 10:16 amOur rig is currently insured with Hagerty, who does not cover any hack that didn't come on the bike from the factory. It covers the bike but not the hack.
Who do y'all insure you rigs with?
Many thanks.

Quote from smitty901 on March 21, 2022, 10:29 amSidecar is an accessory . When you talk with Insurance company you insure it as an accessory at an agreed value. It is no big deal.
GEICO now had progressive a good while then out of no where they nearly doubled my rates on all 3 bikes dropped them that day went to GEICO.
Hagerty is the kind of place you insure custom stuff or collector items at agreed value others will not insure.

Quote from CCjon on March 21, 2022, 12:34 pmMy rigs are insured with Progressive. They offered the best rates in our area last year. Rates can vary by state for each company, depending on how much exposure they want that year.

Quote from Thane Lewis on March 21, 2022, 6:05 pmWe are with Auto Owners. Our agent asked what value to put on it. I said I couldn’t replace it for under $X and that’s how it’s insured. And, yes, the car is an accessory with given value.

Quote from 2FLTC on March 22, 2022, 7:49 amI went out on the limb and gamble for the last 40 plus years. The way I look at it the last two rigs didn't coat me anything. I did talk to Hagerty one year and they would insure my 82 Harley rig for 35K for $350 which I didn't think that was bad. As far as Progressive goes around here you can't beat them. Years back I received an increase that shocked me, one phone call to them and they straighten it all out to my surprise. Every wreck that came in here that had Progressive, they were more then fair.

Quote from smitty901 on March 23, 2022, 6:15 pmBecause it is insured as an accessory you set a value. The insurer will either agree or disagree with your value. If they think it is to much they will Charge accordingly or refuse your value.
I look at it like this. Say total cost to do the rig was 12K. Adding 12K to value is going to cost you. I get $3,000 in accessory coverage with my base price. I let it go at that and take my chances. Now if The bike is one I have also spent some cash on with personal mods then I will add coverage. But no always at 100%.

Quote from James Neufeld on March 25, 2022, 10:05 amSounds like I need to contact Progressive. We also have a '49 Suburban insured with Hagerty, which affects overall cost. The insurer for our daily drivers wouldn't insure the Burb.
