Vintage Car Insurance - How to Find Great Deals

By Andy Darwinson

It's probably safe to say that the vintage car you have at home cost a lot of money. Whether you purchased it for the investment or just liked the appeal, thousands upon thousands of dollars were spent. This is why it's going to be crucial to get the right vintage car insurance policy.

When you are shopping for car insurance you'll find that the type of insurance you need will be different to that for ordinary cars. Once you start looking you should try and find an insurance company that specializes in insuring vintage cars. Vintage cars require specialist coverage. The type of coverage you will need will depend very much on how your car is used. You will need a different kind of premium if the car is only driven to specialist shows and exhibitions, than you would if you drove your vintage car like a regular vehicle.

If you take the time to find the right policy for your car, it's extremely possible to save money on auto insurance for your vintage car. Just remember you shouldn't insure your classic under a standard insurance policy. Plus, you don't want to be driving it around like an ordinary vehicle if you purchased it as an investment.

One thing to realize is there are specific guidelines that need to be adhered to when insuring a vintage car. When looking for auto insurance for vintage cars, you should have been driving for at least 5 years. This will give you a much better quote then if it's for a teenager. Also, if you're over the age of 25 that will help as well. In fact, it should be easy to find vintage car insurance, since you are considered to be less of a risk.

Insurance companies will be looking to assess the security and driving skills revolving around your vintage car before they give you a specialty premium. You will also have to own a car that is even old enough to be considered vintage.

Some insurance companies will only give vintage status to cars that are nineteen seventies vintage or older. You should know that policies will differ depending on the age of your car. Another thing that insurers will take into consideration is whether you have an insurance policy of an ordinary car before they grant you a special policy.

If by chance you are driving this vehicle on a daily basis, you will be considered a high risk insuree. It may cause you to be turned down. Plus, the overall benefits over your coverage will decrease because they offer these types of premiums on actual cash value, stated value, and agreed value.

When you give the insurance company a value for your car they will pay it but they cannot insure you for the stated value. Most vintage car owners get their insurance on the basis of an agreed value of the car. This means that they will agree with you a value for your car and take into consideration your investment and any maintenance, and then they will give you a policy for that value.
