Policy Features
The antique & classic motorcycle program is available in all states except NY, and is available for physical damage only in NC. Our policies are annual and our minimum premium is $100.
We will consider single qualifying motorcycles as well as larger collections. The program provides:
Agreed Value Coverage
Pays the motorcycle’s full-insured value less any deductible in the event of total loss.
Zero Deductible
Our policy includes a zero deductible option, providing zero out of pocket cost in the event of a claim.
Mileage Plans
Your customers know that the days of one-size-fits-all plans are over. They want a mileage plan that best fits their needs (2,500, 5,000 or 7,500)—now you can give it to them.
Flexible Usage with Freedom Tier
Our Freedom Tier provides more freedom than any other collector vehicle insurance provider. True collectors are allowed 7,500 annual miles PLUS occasional general usage.
High Value Vehicle Program
We provide coverage and discounts for vehicles valued over $150,000 or collections valued over $250,000.
Towing & Labor for Collectors (C.A.R.E.) Plan
Our comprehensive C.A.R.E. Plan—affordably priced on a policy level—reimburses for much more than emergency towing & labor expenses. Learn more about 3 levels of C.A.R.E.
Coverage for Vehicles in Restoration
Not quite finished? No problem! In most cases, we can protect the motorcycle throughout the duration of the restoration.
Inflation Guard
In the event of a covered total loss to your Collector Motorcycle, Inflation Guard adjusts the Agreed Value of the bike up to 6% max.
Spare Parts Coverage
Should damage or loss occur to a classic “spare part,” our policy provides up to $500 coverage at no additional cost. Additional coverage is available.
Higher Liability Limits and More Deductible Options
Even more cost and coverage options are now available.
Automatic Coverage for Newly Acquired Vehicles
Qualifying vehicles purchased during the policy term are automatically covered for 30 days.
Multi-Vehicle Discount
Available to collectors with two or more qualifying vehicles.
Motorcycle Qualifications
Your clients may enjoy the insured motorcycle on a “pleasure only” basis (e.g., pleasure driving, club functions, exhibitions, tours, etc.) up to the mileage tier limit as selected by the customer. There are no requirements for an insured to be in “attendance” of the motorcycle during hobby usage. We cannot accept motorcycles that are used for general transportation (e.g., commuting to work/school, running errands, etc.) or as a backup to the family car.

Applicant Qualifications
- All operators of the motorcycle(s) must have at least ten years of licensed driving experience. Five to nine years driving experience may be consider as an exception.
- Applicants are permitted one violation (not a DUI or reckless driving) or at-fault accident per driver, or two per household in the past 3 years.
