Owning an Alvis can actually have some insurance benefits. Many insurers recognise that classic car owners tend to take excellent care of their vehicles and drive them less frequently than modern cars. This often results in lower premiums compared to standard policies for cars of similar value. However, factors such as rarity of parts and specialised repair requirements are also considered.
Yes, we specialise in insurance for classic cars, including modified Alvis vehicles. Whether your Alvis has period-correct modifications or modern upgrades for improved performance or safety, we can help find appropriate coverage. Just ensure you declare all modifications when obtaining a quote.
While Alvis insurance is specialised, there are ways to keep your premiums competitive. You can agree to a limited mileage policy, store your Alvis in a secure garage, install approved security devices, join an Alvis owners club, or consider an agreed value policy. Our team can advise on how to balance comprehensive coverage with affordable premiums.
