| If
you drive an Austin Healey or an Aston Martin, a Jaguar
or a Jenson, this type of insurance is definitely for
you. Many regular car insurance companies see owners
of classic cars as a high risk, which is why the premiums
they offer for classic cars can be so high, if they
even offer to insure this type of car. Specialist providers,
however, offer insurance for all kinds of classic cars,
such as vintage models, quality replicas, custom-made
and special interest vehicles.
The major difference between a regular
car insurance policy, and one that is designed for
a classic car, is that classic vehicles are insured
for their true value rather than for their market
value, which goes down significantly each year.
The insurance quote you receive depends
on other factors as well. For instance, you may use
the vehicle for day-to-day use, to travel to work,
or only to show off at shows, rallies, track days
and exhibitions. But whatever your needs may be, purchasing
insurance from a specialist provider will ensure that
you receive the coverage you desire at a price you
can afford. Taking your money to any other company
will only result in frustration and disappointment.
The typical policy comes with the
perks and benefits you might expect from a regular
insurance policy, such as immobiliser discount, good
driver discount, limited mileage discount, windscreen
cover, and personal accident cover, although each
policy varies, depending on the company and what type
of insurance coverage you opt for. Also, you can usually
insure your car for third party, third party fire
and theft, or comprehensive insurance - it's all up
to you.
Because of the special needs of a
classic car owner, it is usually not possible to find
a quote online, which is why we have provided a specialist
hotline number for this type of insurance. A little
more work has to be put into insuring a classic car,
as an evaluation must be carried out before an agreed
upon value is determined. Once the vehicle is valued,
however, you should be able to receive an insurance
quote.
