What is classic car insurance?
Classic car insurance is a type of financial protection designed specifically for classic cars, collectible cars, vintage cars, antique cars, or any other auto of this nature. The types of vehicles that fall into this category are typically cars with “historic interest,” but may also include both new and old exotic cars, muscle cars, sports cars from any time period, and rare or desirable cars. Classic car insurance can cover cars you rebuild yourself, cars you purchase brand new, and anything in between.
How is classic car insurance different from regular car insurance?
Classic car insurance is very similar in concept to regular car insurance, but the fact is, classic cars are just not the same as regular cars. They typically have higher value, but also get driven at significantly lower intervals. If you were to insure your classic car with regular car insurance, you’d most likely wind up overpaying. Classic car insurance typically offers the following benefits over regular car insurance:
• More affordable premiums:
People tend to drive classic cars with extreme caution, and also way less frequently. We understand this, and therefore adjust your premiums accordingly. Don’t pay everyday car insurance for a once-in-a-lifetime vehicle.
• No fixed mileage:
Standard car insurance will often restrict or limit the number of miles you are permitted to drive under the policy. With classic car insurance, you can speed right past the concept of fixed mileage.
• Agreed value coverage:
Agreed value, or guaranteed value, is a promise that the carrier will pay you the agreed-upon value of the vehicle in the event of a “total loss.” Regular car insurance usually only guarantees the “actual cash value” which can often depreciate by the time of the incident.
Is my car a classic car or an antique car?
A classic car is technically defined as a vehicle 10 to 24 years old with significant “historic interest.” This just means that it’s a car that is, for the most part, widely sought-after. An antique car is a similarly desired vehicle that is more than 25 years old. If you have an antique car, you may qualify for antique car insurance, so long as it meets a few further requirements including limited use, good condition, and adequate storage.
