Antique Vehicle Insurance

Antique vehicles generally sit in their own eligibility class, often defined by vehicle age and very limited use.

How this coverage works

Age and use define eligibility

Insurance carriers set their own age thresholds for antique classification, and some states have antique registration categories with their own use restrictions.

Because both the state and the insurance carrier can impose conditions, confirm both before assuming the vehicle qualifies.

Details to review

  • Age thresholds and registration classes explained
  • Agreed value documentation guidance
  • Limited use and exhibition conditions
  • Parts and restoration considerations

What the coverage includes

Coverage names, terms, and availability vary by insurance carrier and state. These descriptions are educational and are not a policy contract.

Common optional add-ons

Endorsements change what a policy covers. Availability differs by insurance carrier and state.

  • Rental reimbursement

    Helps with a temporary vehicle while a covered repair is completed.

  • Roadside assistance

    Towing, jump starts, lockout help, and flat tire service, depending on the plan.

  • Full glass or reduced glass deductible

    Changes how windshield and glass claims are handled. Availability varies by state.

  • Loan or lease gap coverage

    Addresses the difference between an actual cash value settlement and a loan or lease balance.

  • Custom equipment coverage

    Extends coverage to permanently installed equipment beyond factory equipment.

  • Accident forgiveness

    May limit the rating effect of a first at-fault accident where a carrier offers it.

Who this is generally written for

Eligibility is set by each insurance carrier and can differ by state. Nothing here is a guarantee of eligibility or coverage.

Commonly a good fit

  • Vehicles meeting the insurance carrier's antique age threshold
  • Exhibition, club, and occasional pleasure use

Worth a conversation first

  • Vehicles under active restoration
  • Any regular road use

Availability varies by state

No-fault states
Personal injury protection replaces or supplements medical payments and changes how injury claims are handled.
FR-44 states
A small number of states use FR-44 filings, which generally require higher liability limits than SR-22 filings.
Border states
Travel into Mexico requires a separate policy issued by an insurance carrier authorized in Mexico.
