Insuring Your Collector Car

By Brent Brewster


Being the owner of a collector car or truck is an alluring intention for many Americans. If you are already an avid collector, you probably realize that it's not a cheap interest. To preserve the condition of your stunning collection, it's no doubt you have looked into a classic car insurance policy. These are individualized insurance plans for your classic vehicles. While covering any car or truck is very important, collector car insurance can be important to guarding your passion.

Collector car insurance is, in many ways, like standard car insurance. Claims service is promptly handled by excellent insurers-they are aware of how seriously collectors are about their investment. Collision and accident coverage are usually included, as with regular car insurance. Many companies also offer specialized roadside assistance in the event of an accident.

In contrast to regular car insurance, collector car insurance asks you to pick a specific tier of coverage relating to how much you intend to drive the car. By choosing the total amount of mileage you intend drive, the insurance company has a better idea of how to protect the value of your car given mileage you have put into it. Additionally, they can determine the likelihood of an accident. For all tiers, medical liability coverage is generally provided to some extend.

Loss protection programs are also a common part of collector car insurance. Insurers tend to protect the actual value of a car by closely appraising the value of the collector car, and the appraised value is generally adjusted for inflation over time. If you ever receive a payout, you will receive an amount that reflects the accrued value of the car, adjusted for inflation. Any modifications are added parts to the car can also be covered by many different plans immediately upon their addition. If your are looking into providers in your neighborhood, research using specific terms like classic car insurance in California. This way you can pull vendors who deal in your neck of the woods.

A number of optional policies are also available from many different insurance firms. International travel or frequent traveling in the collector car might require an elevated premium for your policy. If the car is used for a special purpose (business or display), then you might be eligible for different policies. Customizable plans are also offered from many insurance firms.
