Toronto, ON (Jan. 8, 2014) – Hagerty, the world’s leading provider of classic vehicle insurance, and Aviva Canada Inc., one of Canada’s leading providers of home, auto, recreational vehicle, group and business insurance are pleased to announce the launch of a classic car insurance program in New Brunswick, Canada. This classic car insurance program is a specialized “Agreed Value” policy that differs from a regular auto policy by recognizing classic car values do not depreciate and typically increase over a period of time.
The Hagerty policy is available through the Aviva Broker network, with Hagerty also accepting other broker business throughout the entire province. The program typically does not require an appraisal to obtain coverage, and Hagerty can assist with proper valuation. Also included is access to an extensive network of products and resources designed to help classic car owners find information and get the most enjoyment out of their vehicles.
“North America is the most active segment of the classic car world and we are witnessing all-time records of ownership and usage,” said McKeel Hagerty, President and CEO of Hagerty. “By partnering with Aviva Canada, citizens of New Brunswick are now able to join a global network of classic car owners who share the same passion for collecting, driving their classics, and preserving the future of this industry.”
“Classic car owners are a passionate group,” said Greg Somerville, President and CEO of Aviva Canada. “By teaming up with the world-class team at Hagerty, our broker partners and customers can be certain that the best possible team is protecting their cherished vehicles.”
