Agreed Value

Have peace of mind from knowing how much you will receive after a covered “total loss” claim. Agreed Value coverage means that, in the event of a covered accident which is determined to be a total loss, policyholders are paid the full agreed-upon value when the policy was written (less applicable deductible), without any deduction for depreciation.

The Most Flexible Mileage

Why pay for miles you don’t need? Tiered mileage plans give you flexibility to customize your policy to match how much you actually drive your collector.

Discounts for Collectors

We offer discounts for high-value vehicles ($250,000+), multi-vehicle policies, mature drivers, garage security and added safety features.

Towing & Labor for Collectors – Our “TLC” Plan

Our affordable TLC plans provide peace of mind when you drive your classic vehicle by covering roadside assistance, towing, and other incidental expenses.

Coverage for Vehicles in Restoration

We’ll protect your classic car throughout the duration of the restoration.

Inflation Guard*

Inflation Guard coverage is included at no charge on your policy to help minimize the impact of inflation on your policy coverage. In the event of a covered total loss to your Collector Car, Inflation Guard adjusts the Agreed Value of the vehicle up to 6% max.

Spare Parts Coverage

At no additional cost, American Collectors Insurance policyholders are covered for up to $500 for loss or damages to classic “spare parts”.

Higher Liability Limits and Additional Deductible Options

Policies are available to suit your unique needs, including a variety of deductibles options from zero to 20% or multiple liability limits to match what you have on your regular family autos.

Automatic Coverage for Newly Acquired Vehicles*

We offer automatic coverage for up to 30 days for qualifying collectible vehicles purchased during the policy term (up to $100,000).

Multi-Vehicle Discount*

Discounts are available to collectors with multiple qualifying vehicles.

What is a Classic vs. Collector Car?

Classic and collector cars are separated by more than just age. A classic car is widely defined as a vehicle that is more than 25 years old. However, a collector car is part of a larger universe which consists of classic cars, as well as newer-model collectible vehicles that appreciate in value and are driven mostly for pleasure.  These newer collectible vehicles include late-model exotic cars, luxury cars, and super-performance cars.

Classic vs. Standard Car Insurance

Classic and standard auto insurance differ in a number of ways. Standard auto insurance covers “daily drivers”, which are expected to be driven more frequently than collector vehicles. This explains why your daily driver’s auto insurance premiums will generally be much higher than what you’d pay to insure a collector vehicle. Aside from cost, classic vs. standard car insurance also differs by the value for a total loss claim, maximum car values, and vehicle usage guidelines.

How American Collectors Insurance Underwrites Collector Car Insurance Policies

At American Collectors, we streamline the process for getting classic car insurance. These are the basic steps that go into our underwriting process:

  • Risk assessment: American Collectors Insurance representatives review application information to evaluate the risk involved in the insurance policy.
  • Determine policy coverage: We’ll set your policy limit, assess the requested application details, and underwrite the eligibility for the coverages requested on the application.
  • Approval: You’ll get a quick decision from us, indicating whether you’ve been approved for collector car insurance.

Do I Qualify for Collector Car Insurance?

We will consider drivers with:

  • At least 5 years of licensed driving experience.
  • No more than one moving violation or one at-fault accident within the last 3 years (up to 2 per household). DUI’s and reckless driving violations must be at least 10 years old.
  • One regular-use vehicle for every licensed driver in the household (exceptions may be made for full-time students and retired couples).

Does My Car Qualify?

We will consider any vehicle that has collector merit and is appreciating in value. However, we also require that they are:

  • Driven on a limited basis and not used as a daily driver.
  • Not used for racing, timed events or driver’s education.
  • Kept in an enclosed, locked garage (alternate garaging options may be permitted; contact our representative).

If you have questions about our collector car insurance policies, call 1-800-360-2277, Monday- Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST & Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. You can also email us at info@americancollectors.com.
