What is the difference between Classic or Collector Car Insurance and Regular Car Insurance?
Classic and collector car insurance is different than regular car insurance because it generally has:
- Lower insurance rates
- No fixed mileage
- Guaranteed or agreed on value coverage (no depreciation of your vehicle)
- Option to repair your vehicle yourself
- Protection for a vehicle under restoration
There may be additional differences, depending on your individual policy and insurer. However, as classic and collector vehicles are very different from regular cars, specialized insurance coverage is a much better option.
How old does a car need to be to qualify for Classic Car Insurance?
A classic car is generally 1979 or older, however, this may depend on the insurance company.
How can a vehicle qualify for Collector Car Insurance?
If a vehicle is newer than 1980, it may be eligible for collector car insurance if it is a special or limited edition, a special import, or a supercar. There may be minimum value and condition requirements.
What is the best insurance for Classic or Collector Cars?
The best insurance for classic or collector cars includes agreed on or guaranteed value coverage. Regular cars depreciate, but classic or collector cars may not (and may be more valuable than their purchase price) and the insurance coverage should reflect that.
Like a regular car, you should also have third party liability, accident benefits, direct compensation for property damage, uninsured motorist and family protection to ensure you’re covered in the event of an accident. Collision coverage will cover your own vehicle if it’s involved in an at-fault accident and comprehensive protection will help if your car is stolen or damaged by something like a fire, storm, or flood.
How much does it cost to insure a Collector or Classic Car?
