Classic Car Insurance

You’ve carefully restored your ride, now it’s time to customize an insurance policy that will cover your antique or collector car just as carefully. In fact, proper coverage is the most important thing for your classic investment.

Classic car insurance and you

Classic car insurance and you

Because the marketplace values classic and collectible cars differently, you will need a policy that provides different coverage than “regular use” drivers. Since classic and collectible cars often register as older vehicles, they aren’t evaluated at their true market value, according to standard insurance practices. So, if you have an accident, you could end up paying the difference out of pocket for repairs or replacements you’re not fully insured for.

We understand how much time and effort you put into your car. That’s why we offer specialized insurance for antique and classic cars, modified collector cars, reproductions, replicas, restorations, and modern classic cars.

With classics collectibles, one size does NOT fit all

In the same way you’d customize your ride, you need a customized classic car policy, which takes into account the car's collectible value, the miles you drive each year, and many other personalized adjustments.

But unlike standard auto insurance policies, you only pay for what you need because you don't need full-time coverage. You may be surprised by how affordable coverage can be for the average classic and collectible car owner.

FAQ - Classic Car Insurance

A classic car is typically defined as a vehicle that is at least 20 to 30 years old, maintained or restored to a condition that holds historical interest. Eligibility can vary, so it's best to contact us for specifics regarding your vehicle.

Classic car insurance often offers agreed value coverage, meaning you and the insurer agree on the car's value, which is what you'll be paid in the event of a total loss. Additionally, premiums can be lower due to restricted mileage and usage.

Classic car insurance typically includes mileage restrictions and is intended for occasional use, such as exhibitions, parades, and pleasure drives. For regular use, a standard auto insurance policy may be more appropriate.
