Herts Insurance Company
Insurance companies are often not the most popular companies to many car enthusiasts, insurance is one of those things we all have to have with many people just looking for the cheapest possible option (although its worth remembering that the cheapest is not always the best) and thats about it. The thing is, as many people are now finding out, many insurers dont really understand car enthusiasts and the slightest mention of a modified car resulting in a ridiculous quote or trying to explain to someone in a far away land that your old vee-dub is worth much more than just an insurers paltry book price.
Thats where HIC come in. After insuring many of the Edition38 crew and show cars HIC are proud to have teamed up with Edition38 to sponsor the show and offer a fantastic 10% discount off all insurance quotes for all Edition38 forum members as well as an Insurance section on the forum where forum members can ask general insurance questions (and often get answers outside of normal office hours!).
As well as offering competitive rates through a range of major insurance underwriters HIC offer specialist insurance for most types of car but in particular classic/modified v-dubs with policies written with the car enthusiast in mind to offer benefits such as:
AGREED VALUATIONS
(you will be paid the true value of your car not just the book price)
TRACKDAY COVER
(many HIC policies can include non competitive Trackday cover free of charge for UK tracks)
MODIFIED CARS ARE NO PROBLEM
(in fact many mods can be covered for no extra premium)
SALVAGE RETENSION
(most of our policys will give you the option to keep your car in the event of it being an insurance write off)
LIKE FOR LIKE COVER FOR MODS
EUROPEAN BREAKDOWN COVER
SHORT TERM COVER
DISCOUNTS FOR 2ND CARS & LOW MILEAGES
PAID UP COVER
FREE LEGAL COVER ON ALL POLICIES
HIC particularly pride themselves in the fact that the majority of the staff are car enthusiasts themselves (ok so not all VAG cars but nobody's perfect!) with many being already members on the Edition38 forum with their own projects and attending the show even before HIC & E38 teamed up, so they are much more likely to know what you are talking about and may have even already read your build thread!
