How do I insure a vintage car?

I have a 1969 Ford Mustang that I recently purchased—it was an amazing find, and I want to make sure it's covered for any eventuality! How do I insure a vintage car? Is there some special insurance I need?

“First, congrats; that is an amazing find! Second, I’m happy to say that a vintage car like a 1969 Ford Mustang most likely qualifies for
classic car coverage
.
Classic car qualifications can vary between different insurance companies, but most use the following standards:
  • Must be at least 25 years old
  • Must be garaged
  • Low mileage per year, typically between 5,000 and 7,000 miles
  • Regular driving with an alternative vehicle
  • Proof of regular maintenance
Some companies may also require a
clean driving record
 and a minimum driver age of 25 years old.
If you fit this criteria, congrats—you can start shopping for the best deal on classic coverage! The easiest way to do this is to use the
Jerry
 app; we’ll get you customized quotes from top insurers instantly, so all you have to do is pick the plan that works best for you!
Congrats again, and enjoy your new ride!”
