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.
What is classic car insurance?
Classic car insurance is specialized coverage designed for antique, collectible, and specialty vehicles that are not used for everyday driving.
Because the marketplace values classic cars differently than standard vehicles, you need a policy that reflects their true collectible value.
With standard auto insurance, older vehicles are typically assigned lower values based on age. This can leave you underinsured if you need to repair or replace your car after a claim.
Why isn’t standard auto insurance enough for classic cars?
Classic and collectible cars often require different coverage than “regular use” vehicles.
If your car is insured under a standard policy:
- It may not reflect your car’s true market or agreed value
- You could end up paying out of pocket after a loss
- Repairs using specialty parts may not be fully covered
Specialized classic car insurance helps close these gaps.
What types of vehicles qualify for classic car insurance?
We offer insurance for a wide range of specialty and collector vehicles, including:
- Antique and classic cars
- Modified collector cars
- Restorations and replicas
- Reproductions
- Modern classic cars
Why classic car insurance is customized?
With classic and collectible cars, one size does not fit all.
Just like you’ve customized your vehicle, your insurance policy should reflect:
- The car’s collectible or agreed value
- How often you drive it
- How it is stored and maintained
- Any modifications or restorations
Unlike standard auto insurance, you typically only pay for the coverage you actually need since these vehicles are not driven daily. Many owners are surprised by how affordable a properly structured policy can be.
How do you qualify for classic car insurance?
Insurance carriers may require certain criteria to qualify for coverage. These often include:
- Usage
Your policy is tailored to limited or occasional driving, not daily use - Storage
Your vehicle should be kept in a secure, enclosed garage or structure - Regular-use vehicle
You may need a separate insured vehicle for everyday driving - Driver eligibility
Your driving history will be reviewed, similar to standard auto insurance
Providing this information upfront helps ensure your policy is accurate and your coverage is ready if you ever need to file a claim.
