Policy Features
Your customers insured with American Collectors can be sure their street rods and custom cars have the best coverage available. Their investment will be well-protected by a policy that has been designed especially for collectors. Our policies are annual and our minimum premium is $100.
Agreed Value Coverage
Pays the vehicle’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.

What We Insure
American Collectors Insurance offers customers outstanding protection at affordable rates. To be considered for our program*, a rod or custom vehicle must:
- Be driven on a limited basis, and not as a daily driver
- Not to be used for racing or timed events
- Be kept in an enclosed, locked garage (alternate garaging is available; e.g. carports within gated communities and common garages)
Collector vehicles no longer have to be 25 years or older to qualify. We insure modern classics or exotics, so long as they are used for pleasure and hobby use, and not for general transportation.
Here are some examples of the wide-range of collector vehicles we insure:
- Hot Rods
- Restorods
- Street Rods
- Muscle Cars
- Antique & Classic Cars
- Antique & Classic Motorcycles
- Antique & Classic Trucks
- Antique Tractors
- Custom Cars & Trucks
- Exotics & Modern limited-production Classics
- Jeeps
- Kits & Replica Cars
- Military Vehicles
- Vehicles undergoing active restoration
We cannot insure: Off-road vehicles, jeeps (unless they are military or well-maintained antiques) or vehicles used for racing or timed events. Please do not submit requests for “liability only.” Liability is not available as a single coverage.
Applicant Qualifications
In order to qualify for our outstanding protection and affordable rates, drivers must have:
- At least 5 years of licensed driving experience
- A good driving record – no more than one moving violation or one at-fault accident within the last 3 years (up to 2 per household)
- One regular use vehicle for every licensed driver in the household (exceptions may be made for full-time students and retired couples)
