What are the advantages and disadvantages of insuring a classic car with a standard insurance company?
I have a 1965 Ford Mustang that I'd like to insure. I've heard from friends that I can get a lower premium from specialty insurers vs. broad-market, standard insurers like State Farm or Allstate. What are the advantages and disadvantages of insuring a classic car with a standard insurance company?
Answer
It can be a lot easier to obtain classic car insurance through a standard insurance company vs. a specialty insurer.
Standard insurance companies don’t have as many underwriting guidelines as a specialty company does.
For example, your annual mileage allowed with a specialty company is extremely limited. You may also be disqualified for classic car insurance by a specialty insurance company if you’ve got too many:
- tickets
- claims
- accidents
Classic car insurance can be a great price when you know where to look. Jerry is a free app that can help you find the best deal for classic car insurance by collecting quotes from 50 of the top insurance providers, saving you time and money.
