Cover Your Assets

There is a word that comes up again and again when discussing insurance with
those in the industry: fun. Defying stereotypes, these insurers seem to consider
having a good time with their clients the most satisfying aspect of their
business. “We know this is a hobby,” says Hagerty. “We deliver great service and
have fun with our customers.” Leland-West’s Bromberg has a similar perspective.
“Everybody has a story,” he says. “It’s my favorite part of being here—the fun
part is getting to talk to these guys.” Though insuring your car with a
specialty insurer makes sense—both on financial and customer service
levels—there is also something reassuring about knowing that these companies are
run by fellow enthusiasts. “Everyone at Parish Heacock has these cars—I’ve got
old Porsches—and we all vintage race,” says Gandy. “We happen to be car guys who
are in the insurance business.”
