Yes. We understand the importance of having your vehicle properly repaired, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it is in good hands. So you always have the choice of where to repair your vehicle.

No. While you can file your claim online, at this time, you cannot track your claim status online.

You have three options:

1. Call the Hagerty Claims Department at 877-922-9701 ext. 5
2. File a claim online through Hagerty or Aviva
3. If your policy is through a local broker, or if you have primary government insurance, you can contact them to file the claim.

Note: Please don’t delay. There are conditions in the policy requiring timely filing of claims.

After a claim is filed, a specialty adjuster from Aviva is assigned and will contact you. Typically, this first call from your adjuster will happen on the same day the claim was filed.   See How Do I File a Claim.

In this call, your adjuster will discuss the loss and coverages, determine whether to assign an appraiser or ask for an estimate and photos and address any next steps that are needed to resolve the claim.

The next steps could be as easy as getting the estimate and photos or appraiser report.

At this time, your adjuster would be able to review the information, confirm coverage and make any applicable payments for your vehicle’s damages.

It depends. If your vehicle only needs to be towed due to a mechanical or electrical breakdown, then this would not be covered, unless you purchased special coverage for this. If you are enrolled in Hagerty Drivers Club, our towing and roadside assistance program geared exclusively to collector vehicles, you can contact us at 866-922-6569 to arrange a tow. However, if your vehicle is non-drivable as a result of a covered loss (e.g. collision with another vehicle) then reasonable costs for a tow would be covered under your claim.

Hagerty has an on-staff parts specialist whose primary responsibility is to track down difficult-to-find parts. We have deep resources that extend way beyond the typical internet search or publications. So if it’s out there, we can almost always locate it.

Bay Mills adjusters are licensed and trained to ensure proficiency in handling specialty damage claims for collectible vehicles. They work for the company and operate out of the Aviva Specialty office called Bay Mills in Beaverton, Ontario. An appraiser is an independent specialist who is out in the field acting as the eyes and ears for the in-house adjuster. Adjusters working on our claims have valuable relationships with independent appraisers extending across the country to help ensure that only the most knowledgeable and courteous appraisers are inspecting your vehicle.

In any situation, take whatever reasonable steps necessary to avoid further damage to the vehicle.

• If you have a collision on the roadway, don't discuss fault with the other driver. Simply get their personal info (name, address, phone number, insurance company and policy number), and their vehicle information (year, make, model, colour, and licence plate).
• In many situations, it can be beneficial to call the police to the scene, especially if anyone in either car is injured or if the vehicles aren't drivable.
• Promptly notify Hagerty or your local broker, as well as any government insurer, to get the claims process started.

Note: Please refer to your policy for complete details of your duties after a loss.

Policies without claims may be eligible for a no-claims discount, so filing a claim can affect your eligibility for the discount. Or, if your policy is receiving the no-claims discount, it may be removed upon renewal. However, policies are checked every renewal to see if they qualify.
