What is Classic Car Insurance?

That jalopy in your garage that you keep under a protective cover needs more than just a tarp and the garage space. It requires classic car insurance from White Oak Insurance LLC, serving Milford, CT.

Why classic car insurance?

Typically, you will pay less for more coverage of your vehicle that is aged 25 years or older. With classic car insurance, you agree to drive your antique or classic automobile less than 1,000 for the year of coverage. Essentially, you get to drive it in parades and to car shows. That is it. You cannot use it for your commute or running errands, etc.

In exchange for this very limited use, you will get low premiums plus a choice between a policy that uses agreed-upon value or replacement value. That benefits you because most auto policies pay based on the current blue book value of a vehicle. Your pristinely restored 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray with the convertible top that they only produced for six months of the year would get you a couple of thousand bucks if you were lucky when using regular auto coverage. A classic car policy though covers your baby at an agreed-upon value you negotiate with the insurance agency at the time you purchase the policy or the replacement cost of the vehicle as you have restored it. That means you would get the $148,000 necessary to actually replace your Concours rated Corvette with another Concours rated Corvette.

After you have put the effort in to restore or rebuild a vehicle, you want it to remain perfect. Perhaps the accident that occurs does not total the vehicle. Maybe it only amounts to a fender bender. The classic car coverage pays for genuine replacement parts of the same model year and make. That helps you keep your restored vehicle at a Concours rating.
