CLASSIC & COLLECTOR CAR INSURANCE

Insure Your
Classic Car

Your classic is more than its age, mileage, or ordinary book value. Protect it based on what it is truly worth.

BOOK VALUE ISN’T COLLECTOR VALUE

Ordinary comparisons can miss what makes your vehicle extraordinary.

A classic vehicle’s ordinary market or book value may not reflect its actual collector value. An older vehicle might be valued at only $2,000 based primarily on age, while its condition, rarity, restoration, and collector demand could make it worth $60,000 or more.

A standard auto policy may settle a covered loss using Actual Cash Value, depreciation, or ordinary vehicle comparisons. This could leave a significant gap between the settlement and what the owner believes the vehicle is truly worth.

Classic-car insurance is designed differently. It recognizes that these vehicles are usually driven less, maintained more carefully, stored securely, and valued for much more than transportation.

“Don’t insure your classic based only on its age. Insure the value you have built, restored, preserved, and protected.”

SPECIALIZED PROTECTION

Why choose specialized classic-car insurance?

Guaranteed Value®

Hagerty and the customer agree on the vehicle’s value before the policy begins. If there is a covered total loss, the customer receives the agreed Guaranteed Value®, less any applicable deductible, subject to policy terms and conditions.

No depreciation and no surprises about the vehicle’s insured value.

Expert Claims Support

Eligible policyholders receive access to experienced claims professionals and parts specialists familiar with classic-vehicle repairs, restoration, specialty parts, and collector automobiles.

Customers may have flexibility to choose a preferred repair shop or, when permitted, complete repairs themselves.

Flexible Usage

Except for regular daily use, eligible vehicles may be enjoyed for pleasure driving, car shows, club events, exhibitions, parades, weekend drives, and other approved collector-car activities.

Coverage and usage are subject to eligibility and underwriting requirements.
