How do I qualify for insurance with Hagerty?
Qualifying for coverage with Hagerty Canada depends on how you use and store your vehicle, and your driving record.
Insurance qualifications
Driver eligibility
We are not able to offer coverage to drivers with a serious infraction within the last three years. Serious infractions include alcohol-related offences, reckless driving, and excessive speed violations.
Vehicle usage
A policy through Hagerty allows you reasonable pleasure use, with no fixed restrictions—it just can't be your daily driver.
Storage
Though we prefer that collector vehicles are stored in an enclosed, secure structure when not in use—such as a private garage, pole barn, car condo or storage unit—we will consider other storage types, including carports, driveways, parking garages, or car hauling trailers.*
Regular-use vehicles
All household members with a valid driver's licence must have a regular-use vehicle for daily driving, covered with regular-use insurance in that driver's name. Motorcycles and public transportation are not considered viable regular use vehicles by our program.
Types of vehicles we protect
1979 and older
Trucks and SUVs that are:
- Stock, 1995 and older
- Modified, 2005 and older
Limited editions, exotics and supercars
Rods and replicas

Vehicles that may not qualify
Offering affordable, tailored insurance with agreed value coverage means there are some vehicles that don’t qualify, including:
- Vehicles used for camping, off-roading or utility purposes
- Late-model vehicles that have been highly customized for looks or performance (commonly referred to as “tuners”)
- Vehicles that are highly customized for appearance and suspension (commonly referred to as "lowriders")
- Commercial-use vehicles
- Motorcycles or scooters
- Replicas of the 1963-67 Shelby Cobra
