State Farm

Alliance Agreement

Hagerty has a 10-year master alliance agreement and associated managing general underwriter agreement with State Farm, under which State Farm Classic+ policies are offered to State Farm's customers through State Farm agents. This program began issuing policies in certain states in September 2023. Several states were added in the first half of 2025, with additional states planned for the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Under the master alliance agreement, State Farm paid Hagerty an advanced commission of $20.0 million, which is being recognized as "Commission and fee revenue" over the remaining life of the arrangement. In addition, the Company is paid a commission for underwriting, binding coverage, and issuing State Farm Classic+ policies and can offer HDC memberships to State Farm Classic+ customers, providing Hagerty with an additional revenue opportunity.
