When you own a vehicle, you must have insurance coverage to protect your investment and this includes classic cars. Whether you own a 2020 Camaro or a 1968 Mustang, you need to have coverage to protect your investment. Acme Insurance Brokerage has the tools to get you started with a policy in Long Island or Amityville, NY.

A Classic Car Policy

When it comes to classic car insurance, you need to obtain a more unique policy to insure your car versus the policy you would have for your non-classic vehicle. This holds true for not only classic cars but also for collectors and performance cars since the repairs could be more complicated, specialized, and expensive than when it comes to a newer vehicle.

Classic and collector cars tend to be more tempting for thieves or vandals due to their rarity and value which means the type of insurance you purchase to protect your car is even more important. Although repairs might be more expensive, the plus side for classic car owners is that the policy you obtain does not have to be more costly.

Vehicles that are considered classic cars include antique cars that are over 25 years old, exotic or luxury cars, hotrods and other modified vehicles, muscle cars, vintage military vehicles, and classic trucks.

When it comes to the replacement costs for your classic vehicle, there is a major difference from the replacement cost for your standard vehicle. If there is a loss of your vehicle due to theft or disaster, classic car insurance will pay you the agreed or guaranteed replacement cost while standard auto insurance policies will only pay out the depreciated value of your vehicle at the time of your loss, which is the actual cash value of the vehicle.

To obtain the classic car insurance that will be suitable for you and your situation, you need an agent you can trust.
