Getting Car Insurance for Your Antique Collectors Car

By: Elizabeth Newberry

Getting car insurance for your antique collector’s car is not the same as buying insurance for your everyday car. The insurance for collector’s cars is different than other auto insurance. Every antique car collector should know a few things about antique car insurance.

First, your state is going to have specific laws as to how old your car has to be to qualify for antique car insurance. The age is usually at least fifteen years. Also, in order to qualify for antique car insurance you must have another car that you use as your regular car, and a garage to park your antique in.

Collector’s policies are important because of the different types of coverage offered. Traditional car insurance pays the actual cash value of the vehicle. Actual cash value is the cost of replacing the car minus the cost of depreciation. This is a poor choice for antique car owners, because it does not incorporate the appreciation of a collector’s item.
Another form of traditional car insurance covers the stated value of the car. In this type of coverage, the insurance company pays what the car is stated to be worth.

Antique car insurance is a specialty insurance that pays the agreed value of the car. This way the owner will receive the full value of the car as a collector’s item. And, antique car insurance usually costs less than traditional car insurance. It’s a win-win situation for the car collector! A little education can save the antique car owner a lot of money and frustration when purchasing car insurance for their collectible.
