Yup. I had a battery fire in the '58 this summer. Damaged the rear seat frame (melted a spring out of it), the padding, seat cover, and smoke damaged the headliner. Headliner is the worst part, as it's basically a $2500+ job. Wasn't going to claim it, happened to tell a VW buddy at Hagerty about it, got a phone call shortly after asking me to go and get quote for repairs. Added the cost of finding a replacement seat frame (can only buy used.) Everything covered, no increase in my annual insurance costs. Hagerty cuts me a cheque, and I can either pay a shop to repair it, or do the work myself, or split it however I like. In my case, a shop will do the headliner, and I'll repair the rest. Essentially I am paid to do the work on my car myself.
I have LOTS of clients who have had claims with Hagerty, every single one of them has been well taken care of. I literally could regale you with claim stories from start of dinner through to "should have gone to bed an hour ago."
