Classic Vehicles – A Wise Choice

Classic and Vintage vehicles mean a lot to their owners!

So much more than just a hobby... they're a passion, an obsession, an investment and so much more besides…

This is why they require special classic vehicle insurance policies to protect them against damage and, of course, theft.

There are many advantages to owning a classic vehicle.

If, for example, your vehicle is defined as 'classic' or 'Vintage', you can enjoy reductions in the price of your car insurance policy. Why? Because insurers generally presume you’ll do a lower mileage in a classic car than in an ‘everyday’ vehicle (you will need to confirm this when you apply for cover). It's also because the vast majority of classic car owners take exceptional care of their cars and maintain them to the highest standards.

Classic vehicles are also often stored in secure locations (once again you will need to confirm this when you get a quote). If you’re looking for ‘agreed value cover' no problem, many of our specialist classic car insurance companies offer this option free of charge subject to certain criteria.

Simply speak to one of our advisors to see if you can add this to your policy. Depending on the insurer you choose, you may also be offered additional cover options. These may include: Limited mileage discounts, Breakdown cover, Laid up cover (when your vehicle is off the road), Legal protection and EU cover. If you're in any doubt at all please make sure to check the small print, including the cover value of your policy, before you purchase your insurance or call one of our knowledgeable team.
