Personal insurance

Classic, vintage & collector vehicles

A thoughtful insurance review for a vehicle with a story.

Who we can help

A closer look at your exposure.

Owners of classic, vintage, collectible and specialty vehicles, including collections.

Value, limited use, storage and restoration can make a collector vehicle different from a daily driver. Modifications, events, overseas travel and transport also need to be disclosed.

What to discuss with your broker

Vehicle valuation

Discuss how value is established and whether an agreed-value arrangement is offered.

Damage & theft

Review deductibles, repair considerations, parts and storage security.

Use & eligibility

Clarify permitted driving, driver requirements and the availability of another vehicle for daily use.

Collections & restoration

Review multiple vehicles, restoration projects, transit and changes in value.

These are areas to consider, not a promise of coverage. Options, exclusions, limits and availability depend on the insurer and your circumstances.

Have a useful first conversation.

If available, have the following information ready. Your broker will tell you what is needed for a formal submission.

  • Vehicle details, photographs and supporting valuations
  • Modifications, restoration details and purchase information
  • Storage arrangements and intended annual use
  • Driver information, other vehicles and claims history

A question worth asking

Can I use a collector policy for everyday driving?

Usage restrictions vary by insurer and program. Describe commuting, errands, events and estimated distance accurately so the offered policy matches how you drive.
