How is Classic Car Insurance Different from Standard Auto Insurance
Classic Car vs. Regular Auto Insurance: What’s the Difference?
Classic Car Insurance guarantees the full agreed-upon value (less any applicable deductible) in the event of a covered loss. Standard auto insurance does not offer agreed value coverage, which can put you at risk of not receiving the true value of your collector car after a total loss. Classic Car Insurance also takes into consideration limited-use when setting rates, and offering specialized coverage such as, spare parts, and repair shop of choice.
| Standard Auto: | Depreciated value payout | Classic Auto: | Full Agreed Value payout |
| Standard Auto: | Any repair shop assigned | Classic Auto: | Repair Shop of your choice |
| Standard Auto: | Rated for daily commute | Classic Auto: | Rated for limited/pleasure use |
| Standard Auto: | No parts specialty | Classic Auto: | Classic Car: Spare parts + safety glass coverage |
