Owner, MVP Insurance
Pennsylvania collectors tend to learn the same lesson the hard way: a standard auto policy rarely values a restored 1969 Camaro the way its owner does. If you're searching for local Pennsylvania Hagerty insurance agents, you probably want someone who understands that difference and can explain it in plain terms before a claim ever happens.
Looking for a Hagerty Agent in Pennsylvania?
MVP Insurance is an independent agency that places Hagerty collector vehicle policies for Pennsylvania drivers. Founded in 2008 by Josh Medure and David Varrati, MVP serves collectors from offices in Zelienople, PA and New Springfield, OH. You get Hagerty coverage with a local agent who answers your calls.
People usually come looking for a Hagerty agent for one of a few reasons. Some just bought their first classic and found that their regular carrier wanted to insure it like a commuter car. Others have owned collector vehicles for years but want someone to review their agreed values after a market jump. And plenty simply prefer talking to a person in western Pennsylvania over filling out forms alone.
Whatever brought you here, the goal stays the same: insure the car for what it's actually worth, under rules that match how you really use it.

MVP Insurance is a local, independent agency, licensed to serve individuals and businesses across Ohio and Pennsylvania.
We serve clients from our offices in New Springfield and Zelienople and throughout Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, working with multiple carriers to help homeowners, drivers, renters and condo owners, landlords, contractors, restaurant owners, shop owners, auto repair shops, professional offices and many other personal and commercial clients find coverage that fits.
Why Work With MVP Instead of Going Direct?
An independent agent works for you, not for the carrier. Going direct means you handle the questions, the paperwork, and any claim conversation on your own. With MVP, you have a personal advocate who knows Pennsylvania driving, storage, and club culture, and who can step in when something doesn't make sense.
There's a practical side too. MVP works with a range of carriers, including Erie, Westfield, and Progressive, alongside Hagerty. That matters because most collectors also own everyday vehicles, a home, and sometimes a boat or motorcycle. Your agent can look at the whole picture, place the collector car with Hagerty, and shop your daily drivers and homeowners coverage with other carriers on our carrier list.
That broader view also helps on the daily driver side. Pennsylvania's market has calmed down, with approved auto rate filings averaging a 0.5% decreasethis year, so it's a reasonable time to compare. And as of July 1, 2026, the state raised the accident surcharge threshold to $2,350, a detail a good agent will bring up when you're deciding whether to file a small claim.

Popular Hagerty Policies for Collector Vehicles
Hagerty policies generally center on collector cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are maintained, stored, and driven differently than everyday vehicles. Here's how the main valuation approaches typically compare:
| Feature | Agreed Value | Actual Cash Value (standard auto) |
|---|---|---|
| How value is set | Agreed upfront by you and the insurer | Determined after a loss |
| Depreciation | Typically not applied | Generally applied |
| Total loss payout | Usually the full agreed amount | Market value minus depreciation |
| Restoration work | Can generally be reflected in value | Often undervalued |
| Usage expectations | Typically limited, pleasure use | Daily driving allowed |
More detail on how these pieces fit together is available on our Pennsylvania collector car insurance page.
Agreed Value Coverage for Collector Vehicles
Agreed value is the reason most collectors move to Hagerty. You and the insurer typically settle on the car's value when the policy starts, and if the car is totaled, the payout is generally that amount without depreciation. Compare that to a standard policy, where an adjuster might look at a 1972 Chevelle and see a fifty-year-old car.
The common mistake? Setting the value once and forgetting it. If you spend $18,000 on a drivetrain rebuild or the market for your model climbs, your agreed value may fall behind. Keep receipts and photos, and ask your agent to review the number at least once a year.
Usage and Storage Rules
Collector policies typically assume the car isn't your daily transportation. You'll usually need another vehicle for regular driving, and the collector car may need to be kept in a locked, enclosed structure like a garage or storage unit. Some policies may allow carports or other arrangements, so ask before assuming.
Usage limits vary. Some plans may include mileage allowances, while others are more flexible about pleasure drives. Where people get tripped up is commuting a few days a week in summer or parking the car in the driveway for months. If your habits change, tell your agent so the policy keeps matching reality.
Club and Event Driving
Shows, cruise nights, parades, and club tours are generally what collector policies are built for. Driving your car to a car show in Cranberry or a cruise-in near Butler typically fits within normal pleasure use.
Track days are different. Timed events, racing, and high-performance driving schools are often excluded or need separate coverage. If your club schedules an autocross weekend, ask about it before you sign up, not after.
Placing Hagerty Through an Independent Agent
Here's the relationship in plain terms. MVP Insurance places collector vehicle coverage with Hagerty. MVP is a separate, independent agency. We aren't Hagerty, and Hagerty doesn't own us.
What that means for you: Hagerty writes and backs the policy, and MVP acts as your agent. We help you gather the vehicle details, talk through agreed values, explain the usage and storage terms, and submit the application. After the policy is issued, we're still your first call for questions, changes, or help with a claim.
Collector vehicles are the line MVP places with Hagerty. Your daily drivers, home, and other policies may be placed with different carriers depending on what fits. Keeping it all with one agency means one point of contact who sees how your coverage works together, which helps you avoid gaps like an uninsured spare garage or liability limits that don't line up across policies.
More About Hagerty and Specialized Protection
Hagerty focuses on the enthusiast community, and that shapes how its policies typically work. Standard carriers like GEICO or Liberty Mutual build auto policies around daily use: commuting, errands, and vehicles that lose value every year. Collector coverage starts from the opposite assumption, that the vehicle is being preserved and may hold or gain value.
That preservation mindset shows up in the details. Policies may account for spare parts, restoration in progress, or the realities of sourcing original components after a loss. Claims involving collector cars often hinge on finding the right shop and the right parts, and a carrier built around enthusiasts generally understands why a reproduction fender isn't the same as an original.
For many owners, the bigger benefit is simply being understood. Explaining to a standard adjuster why your numbers-matching engine matters can be exhausting. With specialized protection, that conversation usually starts on common ground.
Frequently Asked Questions About PA Collector Insurance
How does agreed value work? You and the insurer typically agree on the car's value when the policy begins. If the car is totaled, the payout is generally that agreed amount, with no depreciation taken out.
Can I drive my car to a local show? Yes, in most cases. Car shows, cruise nights, and club events are usually considered normal pleasure use under a collector policy.
Do I need another car to get collector insurance? Usually, yes. Collector policies generally expect you to have a separate vehicle for daily driving.
Does my classic have to be in a garage? Most policies typically require locked, enclosed storage. Ask your agent if you have a different setup.
Is a car under restoration covered? Coverage for project cars may be available, depending on the vehicle and the work involved. Your agent can explain the options.
Can I insure my everyday car with MVP too? Yes. MVP works with several carriers and can shop your daily vehicles, home, and other policies alongside your Hagerty coverage.
How to Get a Hagerty Quote and Start Your Policy
Getting a quote starts with a short conversation. Have the year, make, model, and VIN ready, along with recent photos, receipts for major work, and a sense of what the car is worth today. Know where it's stored and roughly how you plan to drive it. That's enough for an agent to give you a clear picture of agreed value and the usage terms that apply.
From there, MVP handles the legwork: submitting to Hagerty, reviewing the terms with you, and looking at your other policies if you'd like. Most collectors find it takes less time than they expected.
