Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Collector Auto Insurance

  • How frequently can a vehicle be driven and still quality for a collector car insurance policy?
    +
    –

    • Generally a vehicle should be driven for hobby-related activities and occasional pleasure use.  The vehicle should not be used for business or daily transportation. You have the flexibility to select an annual mileage plan consistent with your anticipated usage. Call (800) 360-2277 to speak with a collector insurance specialist to tailor your insurance plan today.

  • What kind of vehicle storage requirements are required to be eligible for a classic car insurance policy?
    +
    –

    • To qualify for coverage under a collector auto policy your vehicle must be adequately protected and stored when not in use. Eligible storage include: private and enclosed garage, rental or storage / garaging unit.  Carports or other storage types may also be eligible (depending on state).

  • How old does a car have to be to qualify for a classic car insurance policy?
    +
    –

    • A vehicle is generally considered a classic car and may, depending on condition, qualify for collector car insurance if it at least 20 model years old.  Newer collectible vehicle less than 20 years old may also be eligible for a collector car insurance policy if it is unique, rare, limited production, exotic, collectible, modified, or otherwise collectible.

    • Classic car insurance protects “enthusiast vehicles” that are in good condition, not daily drivers, and are stable/appreciating in value with Agreed Value coverage. In other words, eligibility for collector auto insurance is not strictly classified by the age of the vehicle.

    • Call (800) 360-2277 to speak with a collector insurance specialist today so we can help you determine if your vehicle qualifies for collector auto insurance coverage.

  • How is classic car insurance different than regular auto insurance?
    +
    –

    • Traditional (regular) auto insurance is generally appropriate for vehicles that are depreciating (e.g., newer vehicles, vehicles that are driven daily, etc.) that are widely available.  Because these vehicles depreciate with usage, a claims adjuster determines the  Actual Cash Value (ACV) of the vehicle after the total loss accident occurs by depreciating the vehicle for age, condition, location, etc.  Note: conventional auto insurance does not  generally include equipment installed post-factory or improvements during a restoration when determining the claim settlement value.

    • Agreed Value classic car insurance policies allow the customer and insurance company to mutually determine an appropriate Agreed Value for the vehicle at the start of the policy  term (i.e., before a total loss occurs).  This allows the customer to have additional peace of mind by knowing that his/her substantial financial investment in purchasing and restoring his/her classic or collectible car will be adequately protected.

    • In addition, classic car insurance policies may also have additional built-in coverages (or have optional coverages available) that are especially meaningful to a classic car owner (e.g., flat-bed towing, shop of choice repair, emergency lodging, discounted salvage buyback, etc.).

  • What types of vehicles are eligible for Collector Vehicle Insurance?
    +
    –

    Any vehicle type that is considered collectible may qualify:

    • Antiques, vintage, and classic cars
    • Modern classics from the 80s, 90s and post-2000s
    • Muscle cars
    • Sports cars
    • Vintage race cars
    • Classic trucks and SUVs
    • Classic motorcycles
    • Modified vehicles, hot rods, kit cars and replicas
    • Custom builds and vehicles under restoration
    •  Exotic, hyper-cars and special interest vehicles
    •  Old military vehicles, antique tractors and retired fire trucks
    •  Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles
    •  Low-riders and Tuners
    Call (800) 360-2277 to speak to a collector insurance specialist today to discuss your special vehicle.

  • What is the difference between Classic Car Insurance and Collector Car Insurance?
    +
    –

    •  Classic cars generally refer to vehicles based on the age of the vehicle.  Collector cars is a broader category definition (i.e., includes classic / antique vehicles).  In addition, the broader collector vehicle categories include good condition vehicles such as modern classics, limited production vehicles, exotic vehicles, historical vehicles, as well as restomods, hot rods, rat rods, street rods and other modified vehicles.

    •  Classic car insurance generally includes agreed value or stated value coverage.  Collector auto coverage also includes other policy coverage enhancements or has optional coverages available to protect unique risk exposures for collector vehicles.  Examples of these coverages might include flat bed towing, VIN theft/fraud coverage, discounted salvage buyback, spare parts and automotive tools coverage, disaster relocation coverage, etc.

  • What is different about TreasureGuard Collector Vehicle Insurance?
