Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Insurance Cost on a Classic Car?
Classic car insurance is actually cheaper on average than regular car insurance. In fact, the cost of classic car insurance is less than 36% of regular car insurance rates on average. This is because classic cars are used less, and thus face less risk of an accident. These prices can vary depending on several factors, however, such as the value of the vehicle, your location, driving record, coverage limits and credit score.
What is the Purpose of a Stated Value Contract?
Unlike most vehicles, the value of classic cars actually appreciates over time. A stated value contract on a classic car allows the car owner to notify the insurer when the value of the vehicle goes up. This guarantees that your coverage will change as your needs change.
What is the Difference Between Stated Amount and Actual Cash Value?
An actual cash value policy has no limit when it comes to coverage on the vehicle and changes according to its worth. The amount you can receive changes automatically through your insurer.
A stated amount policy is a set amount agreed upon between the car owner and the insurer, with the car owner being responsible for notifying the insurer as the value of their classic car changes. If the driver fails to notify their insurer that the value of their vehicle has changed, they could be without coverage for the difference between the new value of the car and how much it was insured for.
