Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Hagerty, Inc., which is comprised of THG and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as permitted by such rules and regulations.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain the accounts of Hagerty, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Hagerty, Inc. had economic ownership of 26.1% and 24.9%, respectively, of THG and is its sole managing member. Hagerty, Inc. reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in THG held by other parties.

The financial statements of THG are consolidated by the Company under the voting interest method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidations ("ASC 810"). Non-controlling interest is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Stockholders' Equity.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
Variable Interest Entities — Broad Arrow Capital LLC ("BAC") and certain of its subsidiaries transfer notes receivable to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entities (each, an "SPE") to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 14 — Long-Term Debt).

These SPEs are considered to be variable interest entities (each, a "VIE") under GAAP and their financial statements are consolidated by BAC, which is the primary beneficiary of the SPEs and also a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. BAC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because it has (i) power over the significant activities of the SPEs through its role as servicer of the notes receivable used to secure borrowings under the BAC Credit Agreement and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through its interest in the residual cash flows of the SPEs.

Refer to Note 5 — Notes Receivable and Note 14 — Long-Term Debt for additional information.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications — Certain prior period operating lease balances on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows originally reported within changes in "Other assets and liabilities, net" are now reported within "Non-cash lease expense" to conform to the current year presentation.

Further, in conjunction with Hagerty Re's investment diversification in the second quarter of 2024, prior period fixed maturity investment balances have been reclassified from "Other current assets" and "Other long-term assets" to "Investments" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current year presentation. Refer to Note 3 — Investments for additional information related to the Company's investment portfolio.

These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's previously reported operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash flows, or retained earnings.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates — The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are considered reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the provision for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including incurred but not reported claims (see Note 11); (ii) the valuation of the Company's deferred income tax assets (see Note 20); (iii) the amount of the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") (see Note 20); (iv) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (v) the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets (see Note 10); and (vi) the fair value of the Company's previous warrant liabilities (see Note 4 and Note 17). Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the current estimates are reasonable in all material respects. These estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted, as necessary. Adjustments related to changes in estimates are reflected in the Company's results of operations in the period during which those estimates changed.
Segment Information
Segment Information — The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on consolidated financial information. The Company's segment presentation reflects a management approach that utilizes a decision making framework with its Members and customers at the center of all decisions, which requires the CODM to have a consolidated view of the Company's results.
Restricted Assets
Restricted Assets — As discussed in more detail below, certain of the Company's subsidiaries hold assets in trust and/or that are restricted as to their use.

The Company's MGA subsidiaries collect premiums from insureds on behalf of insurance carriers. Prior to remittance to the insurance carrier, these funds are required to be held in trust for the benefit of the insurance carriers and segregated from the Company's operating cash.

Hagerty Re maintains trust accounts for the benefit of various ceding insurers as security for their obligations for losses, loss expenses, unearned premium and profit-sharing commissions.

On September 1, 2024, the Company acquired Consolidated National Insurance Company, which was subsequently renamed Drivers Edge Insurance Company ("Drivers Edge"). Drivers Edge maintains assets on deposit with a number of regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. Refer to Note 8 — Acquisition for additional information related to the Company's acquisition of Drivers Edge.

BAC and its consolidated subsidiaries maintain bank accounts that are required for the operation of the BAC Credit Facility (as defined in Note 14 — Long-Term Debt). The funds in these bank accounts represent security under the BAC Credit Facility and their use is restricted to the servicing of the debt outstanding under that facility.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes — In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (ASC 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign), and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU No. 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still assessing the impact of ASU No. 2023-09 and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosures in the footnotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Reporting — In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enables investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows through improved reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is still assessing the impact of ASU No. 2023-07 and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosures in the footnotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
