Agreed Value Coverage
In the event of a covered total loss, our policies will pay the Agreed Value of the motorcycle determined at the beginning of the policy period (less any applicable deductible), without any deduction for depreciation.
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.
Automatic Coverage for Newly Acquired Motorcycles
Our policies provide automatic 30-day coverage for qualifying vehicles purchased during the policy term up to $25,000 for new motorcycles.
Towing & Labor for Collectors – Our “C.A.R.E.” Plan
Silver C.A.R.E. (Collector Auto Reimbursement Endorsement) package reimburses incidental towing, and roadside assistance to get your bike back on the road.
Spare Parts
At no additional cost, American Collectors Insurance policyholders are covered for up to $500 for covered loss or damage to classic “spare parts.”
C.A.R.E. for Your Antique or Classic Motorcycle
Our Silver Towing & Labor (CA.R.E.) plan is an excellent addition to classic motorcycle insurance because it covers many of the incidental expenses incurred on the road. C.A.R.E. plans provide reimbursements to policyholders in the event of emergency towing, roadside assistance, and more.
*The Silver C.A.R.E. plan is the only option available for motorcycles
