Classic Car Insurance

Collector vehicles are usually written on a specialty form with an agreed value rather than the depreciating actual cash value used on daily drivers.

How this coverage works

Agreed value is the core difference

On a collector policy the vehicle value is generally documented and agreed at the time the policy is written. That value is the basis for a covered total loss settlement, subject to policy terms.

Documentation matters. Appraisals, photographs, receipts, and restoration records support the value you and the insurance carrier agree on.

Usage conditions

Specialty forms typically restrict how the vehicle is used. Pleasure driving, club events, exhibitions, and parades are commonly contemplated, while commuting usually is not.

Because usage conditions vary by insurance carrier, confirm what your intended driving looks like before binding.

Details to review

  • Agreed value versus actual cash value explained
  • Usage and mileage conditions reviewed up front
  • Storage and security requirements clarified

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 maintained in show or restored condition
  • Owners with another vehicle available for daily driving
  • Enclosed or secured storage

Worth a conversation first

  • Vehicles used for commuting or regular errands
  • Ongoing restorations that are not yet roadworthy
  • Vehicles stored away from the residence premises

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.

Insurance coverage is not bound or effective unless and until it has been confirmed in writing by TruvaLink Insurance Agency or an authorized representative of the applicable insurance carrier. Submission of a quote request, application, payment, or other information does not guarantee coverage or constitute proof of insurance.
