What is classic car insurance?
Whether you’ve got a classic car or your pride and joy is affectionately called a collector car, the coverage you’ll need is the same. Classic car auto insurance is protection for antique cars and vintage rides, which are typically vehicles over 20 years old. It’s coverage that’s usually reserved for older restored vehicles that have retained a value above the average price range of similar cars in their class.
But newer cars with a special automotive significance may also qualify for this specialized insurance. With American Family, you’ll get key coverages that match your car’s value and rarity.
What is covered under classic auto insurance?
Contrary to the way a typical new car depreciates after it drives off the dealer’s lot, classic cars can actually increase in value over time — or at least maintain a certain value for a period of years. And those unique qualities call for classic car insurance that is equally distinctive. You’ll still get the same great coverage we offer with standard car insurance, just with a few tweaks to better address your needs as a classic car owner.
Classic car insurance also has a few additional coverages you can add to best suit your policy to your needs. Here are just a few:
Zero-Deductible Windshield Repair
If your windshield is repaired instead of replaced for a covered comprehensive loss, we’ll waive the deductible. If the repair happens to fail, the windshield will be replaced, and the deductible will be applied.
Personal Property Coverage
Should personal property be damaged or stolen in a covered loss, we’ll automatically cover up to $200 worth of the cost of your personal property. Please note, no additional coverage limits are available for purchase.
Limited Pet Coverage
If your pet is in the classic car should it be in an accident or stolen, this coverage steps in to help cover costs.
Is your car eligible for classic car coverage?
This isn’t the vehicle you use for daily commutes, grocery runs or shuttling kids to various activities. To be eligible for collector car insurance, this program requires that you have another supporting daily driver vehicle. Additionally, in order for your car to qualify for a classic car insurance auto policy, it must be:
- At least 20 years old
- A rarity because of unique design and exceptional craftsmanship and condition OR
- A replica or reproduction of an antique or classic vehicle
- Maintained for either pleasure or the occasional use in exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest
Classic Car Insurance Cost
So how much does it cost to insure a classic car? Like most other items you’re insuring, that will depend on the value of the vehicle. Other factors like your location, driving record and even your credit rating can play a role when insurance agents build a quote.
