Okay here's my expeirence with Hagerty: I have been with them for about a year-and-a-half and I think they are really good. I called to let them know that I was going to be driving to California from Arizona for some software trainning and was planning to stop by DeLorean Motor Center for some needed work and a good once-over. I was going to be there for a week. They asked me if my DeLorean would be my primary transporation while there and I said yes. They told me that I would be covered for the round trip, the visit to and from DeLorean Motor Center, but not for anything else.
