According to the Insurance Information Institute, some insurers won’t write classic car insurance policies for owners who have serious traffic violations on their driving record, like driving under the influence or reckless driving.

What is classic car insurance?

It covers a collectible vehicle up to its agreed value (often called “guaranteed”). The agreed value is an amount that the insured and the classic car insurance company agree on in advance. 

Since these special insurance policies are designed for vehicles that many actually appreciate over the years you need a policy that fully protects the value of your classic or restored vehicle. 

Unlike regular car insurance, a classic car policy may have specific qualifications that must be met in order to receive coverage.  

What makes a car eligible for classic car insurance?

While requirements differ from company to company, most cars need to meet the following criteria in order to qualify for special coverage: 

  • A classic car (at least 10 years old) 
  • An antique car (usually at least 25 to 30 years old 

Your antique or classic car must also meet these conditions: 

  • Limited use: The vehicle should be used on a very limited basis driven 2500 miles per year or less for shows, exhibitions, club activities, parades, and occasional pleasure/leisure (not primary transportation). 
  • Condition: Generally, the car must be restored, maintained, and preserved in its original condition, or undergoing restoration. Some insurers may decline if the vehicle is not in excellent condition while others require proof that the car is stored properly and that you have another vehicle for routine driving. 
  • Storage: It’s required that you store your vehicle in a fully enclosed and locked structure. Some carriers will consider other storage types including carports, driveways, parking garages, and car hauling trailers.
