Good to know: Common questions about classic car insurance
Does my vehicle qualify for classic car insurance?
To qualify for classic car coverage, your vintage beauty needs to meet a few requirements. Some insurers may have slightly different rules, but generally:
Age – We can insure vehicles that are newer that 20 years old so long as they are collectible in some way. This usually means limited production models or cars that the insurers just seem to deem collectible. Examples would commonly include things like Porsches, Corvettes and even small convertibles like Audi TTs and Mazda MX5s. They are even now getting into pickup trucks. Other insurers define classics as 1948 models and earlier, and vehicles older than that may be called vintage or antique.
Usage – In Ontario, your classic vehicle should be for limited pleasure use in the summer and not driven in the winter. It shouldn’t be the car you drive every day to get to work and run errands. Some insurers have annual kilometre limits.
Storage: Insurers expect that your collector car will be put away and kept indoors for the winter. This helps reduce the risk of damage and maintains the value of the vehicle.
How is classic car insurance different from standard car insurance?
Unlike standard auto insurance, which is based on the declining value of a car, coverage for a collectible car needs to consider the possible appreciation in its value as well as replacement value.
Classic car insurance is also intended for limited pleasure or leisure use. This vehicle is not the car you drive every day. Some insurers only allow a limit of 5,000 kilometres of driving each year.
Is an appraisal needed?
In most cases, appraisals are not required. That being said, because of the time and money you’ve invested in your prized ride, it may be worthwhile to still get an expert appraisal done to assess its value. You may be able to use this to protect your car based on Agreed Value Coverage, providing extra peace of mind in the amount it’s insured for.
