American Collector Car Insurance
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009For an American collector car, insurance on your prize possession is a must. But just not any coverage will do. There are many insurance companies that either have a special policy for collectible cars or they only cover collectible and classic cars and trucks.

As part of an insurance policy, the most important feature will be the agreed value of the classic vehicle. Not including any agreed upon deductible, the value of the collector car should be set high enough to cover the cost of replacing it even if a fire or other accident causes the loss or damage to be a total loss.
The usage and mileage must also be considered. When a person receives a license plate in the classic or collectible car from the state, there is a limitation to the mileage they are allowed to drive. Make sure the insurance plan for your collector car will permit you to drive the car as you wish to. This is the best part of owning a classic car, driving it.
When it comes time for repairs to the classic, make sure all replacement parts are covered under the insurance policy. Make sure the policy allows for not only the parts to be covered but if the overall value of the car increased, this should also be figured into the coverage with an increase in total coverage.
Lastly the cost of inflation should be automatically figured into any policy. Since most classic collectible vehicles will increase on an average of 8% a year, this should be set into your policy.
These suggestions should be followed as a start of setting up any American collector car insurance policy. Before signing any policy make sure you read all of the fine print.
