Insurance - Any suggestions?

Right now my 2007 DB9 and wife's 2002 Ford T-bird are insured (plus our other 2 cars) with Travelers. Right now it is really expensive at $4k/year. No tickets, and good credit. I think we can beat that. I am looking for a place that would insure my wife's car and mine and get away from Travelers. Any suggestions for a good collector or specialty type insurance? What sort of typical limitations. We may drive the cars 2500-3000 miles each annually.

Thanks

I have Grundy's for a couple of my cars... Collector car policies are generally limited to non daily drivers...you need other cars to drive.

State Farm. They bonded the car the day I called. I had a $5k claim within 6 months (windshield) and my rates did not go up. Also you can insure the car for a set amount. I couldn’t be happier. And the rate was good also.

My wife and I have other cars to drive for our daily commute. All three of those suggestions are good. Thank you.

Have you compared Chubb to others? I have an inclusive policy with Chubb that covers most of my insurances for homes, other cars umbrella, etc. but the coverage for collector car policies was high.

I use Mapfre, but in MA things are pretty well fixed on rates.

State Farm insured my AM V8V alone for pretty cheap (100/month, I'm 29), but when I added a Honda CRV to the policy, I got close to no discount and it went over 160/month...

State Farm, $71/month full coverage. Paid out $54,000 [and I kept the car] when I got rear ended. Bought another, $71/month.

I looked at Hagerty for my Vantage and it was very reasonable at $60/month. If you hold an umbrella policy with your current insurer, be sure to understand the implications of moving some of your vehicles to another insurer. Total cost of complete insurance may be different then you're expecting based on a lower auto rate.

For breakdowns? I'd seriously doubt they'd even cover an Aston, and if they did I'm not sure I'd trust them to pay the bill, or they'd make you go to one of their "authorized repair" shops and use used parts to patch you together if they did.
