While the definition of a classic car varies, classic cars are typically over 25 to 30 years old. However, there are some exceptions to this age limit. For example, if a car\u2019s value is greater than its original selling price, it may be considered a classic car even if it\u2019s younger than 25.

If this is the case, your policy may include mileage limits and proof that your classic vehicle rarely leaves your garage. Some policies will require you to have a regular car to use as your primary vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Car shows and meetups.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> While your insurer may limit your car\u2019s use outside of special events, car shows and meetups are usually included in your policy. However, not every insurer offers this coverage, in which case you would need specialized coverage specifically for car shows and other events. If you\u2019re a classic car owner who takes their car to shows and meetups, check with your agent to see if your policy includes any travel restrictions that would impede your hobby.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Annual storage<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">.

To determine the value of your classic vehicle, and subsequently how much your insurance will cost, you and your coverage provider will agree on a number together. If your classic car is damaged, your insurer will cover you up to the agreed upon price. You can also adjust your policy later if your car gains value as it ages.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-specialized-repairs-and-transportation\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Specialized Repairs and Transportation<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Classic cars can be expensive to repair as they often use special order or rare parts. A classic car insurance policy typically covers these repairs and compensates you for their true value, even if it\u2019s more expensive than the price of repairing a normal car. Any spare parts you need to order may also be covered, including new wheels, transmissions, or engine parts. If you\u2019re in a pinch or you need to transport your classic car without driving it, your insurer will typically cover towing costs. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:264}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Visit our blog to learn more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/cheaper-to-insure-old-or-new-car\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">insurance for older vehicles<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.
