Vehicle Insurance FAQs

How much does classic car insurance cost?

Premiums vary depending on the car’s value, usage, storage conditions, and the driver’s profile. Classic car insurance is often more affordable than standard auto insurance due to limited usage policies.

Can I get insurance if my classic is still being restored?

As long as its registered and we can prove ownership. You can also insure it only for its worth as it stands the day the insurance was taken out. You can't insure it for what it will be worth in the future. So as the process continues, you will have to get continuous evaluations to value of the car it's built.

How does storage impact my insurance rates?

If the client specifies after market accessories and the value is added to the sum insured, then he will be covered for the amount specified (in the event of a claim). If the vehicle is not kept in a locked garage and its stolen, and additional excess of 10% will be applied to the theft excesses.

Can I insure my vehicle if it has no papers (RC1)?

No you cannot, as the RC1 is the legal recognised way of proving ownership.

Can I insure my classic car for what i have spent on it?

No you cannot, vehicles are insured based on market related values.
