Collector Car Season

As the weather warms and the trees blossom I am reminded that collector car shows are just around the corner.  I always look forward to these shows so I can see the classics restored. 

The amount of work these folks put into the cars of yesteryear returning them to original or enhancing them shows a love and appreciation for a day gone by.   You just can't help but to stop and stare when you see one of these beauties.

With that in mind, many folks may not know that there are special policies available for classic autos.
Collector vehicles are different than a typical car in just about every way possible.  Generally speaking, collector vehicles are driven less and are better cared for by the passionate people who own them.  This makes them best suited to a special collector vehicle policy.  However, collectible vehicles often end up on a standard auto policy which means they have less protection than they need and their owners end up paying more for the coverage.

Collector car policies allow for an agreed value on the vehicle and other coverages reflective of the true needs of these special vehicles.  You put time, love and extensive parts into the vehicle for it's restoration, why not insure it for the money you have in it?

In the process of restoring your vehicle?  Coverage can also be geared to you with the restoring process.

•Instant new purchase coverage


•Auto Show Medical Reimbursement
•Spare Parts coverage

These are just some of the coverages a collector car policy can offer you.
Additional endorsements can be added to cover tools, parts, traveling to name a few.

Consider looking into a specialty policy for that special car you have poured so much of yourself into.
