I have 2 cars and a boat with Hagerty. No real restrictions on mileage, that I know of, and reasonable premiums.

Can't attest to the payout of claims, knock wood, never had one.

Customer service is very nice to deal with.

I have GEICO on all of my cars. Customer service is absolute top notch. 24/7 claims with little or no waiting, and very hassle free. They will insure my car for whatever the current market value is, and since my car isn't as rampantly customized as Iskwezm's, that's all I need. May be slightly more expensive than some alternatives, but the customer service is worth it. USAA tried to screw me in an accident claim a couple years ago, and GEICO went to bat for me and took care of everything, then sent me a check for my deductible later down the road.

I've used Allstate for ever and they got confused when I called about my 65. I've been with Grundy for about a month and they were simple to deal with. They questioned me on my high mileage guesstimate but even with that, it made no difference once I told them it was a number pulled out of thin air based on typical car owners since mine wasn't for only show. $25k agreed value is just under $200/year. Many classic insurers limit mileage/days of the week/and so forth. Grundy ASKs mileage, but they also say straight up "we drive a lot, too" so it's not as big of a factor as it is with many others.
