Classic Car Insurance

Agreed-value coverage for vintage and collector vehicles.

Typical cost: $200 – $1,000 per year

Classic Car Insurance

Classic car insurance provides specialized coverage for antique, vintage, and collector vehicles. Unlike standard auto policies that pay actual cash value (which depreciates), classic car insurance offers agreed value coverage that recognizes your vehicle's collectible worth.

Agreed Value Coverage

With agreed value, you and the insurer agree on the car's value when the policy is written. If the car is totaled, you receive that agreed amount—not a depreciated value. This is essential for vehicles that appreciate rather than depreciate over time.

Usage Restrictions

Classic car policies typically have restrictions: limited annual mileage (often 2,500-5,000 miles), no daily driving or commuting, secure garage storage, and you must have a regular-use vehicle. These restrictions keep premiums low.
