Make sure you get "agreed value" insurance.
Do a search on here on "insurance" and you will get more info than you can possibly digest

I have progressive for my truck but they said they wouldn't even consider my DeLorean. Hagerty gave me a great rate for the DeLorean. In fact, when I add my 70 Opel GT to my Hagerty account, my rate wont even go up (because its so much less valuable than the DeLorean and will cause me to drive the DeLorean less).

+1 to all that was said. Search the forum, there are several threads with hundreds of posts. Also big +1 to Hagerty, if you read all those previous posts you'll see dozens of others who agree.

American Modern http://www.amig.com/ - Unlike Hagerty, there's no restrictions on driving your car to work if you like...even once a week...that was a deal breaker for me with Hag. Unlimited mileage too.

I used a broker to find what I wanted. For $40, they did all the leg work for me. I too demanded daily driver coverage with full collision, since I do drive one of my DeLoreans nearly daily to work, etc. Ended up with a company called Safeco.

I've had to use safeco for a non-delorean daily driver claim in the past an they were easy to work with.

If you are NOT using your Delorean as a daily driver Geico is not the best insurer. They will rate it WAY too high, hit you with a deductible and not give you "Agreed Value" in the event of a total loss. If you can qualify for collector insurance that is the way to go.

Just called geico and they gave me a much cheaper quote but then said they actually couldn't write a policy for a 1982 vehicle valued at $30k.
