Owning an Austin 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.
We provide various levels of coverage to suit your needs, including comprehensive cover, third-party, fire and theft, third-party only, and laid-up cover for vehicles in storage. Our comprehensive Austin insurance includes protection for your vehicle, coverage for accident damage, fire, and theft, protection against third-party claims, and options for breakdown cover and personal effects coverage.
Yes, we specialise in providing insurance for classic cars, including modified Austin vehicles. Whether your Austin 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 Austin insurance is specialised, there are ways to keep your premiums competitive. You can agree to a limited mileage policy, store your Austin in a secure garage, install approved security devices, join an Austin owners club, or consider an agreed value policy. Our team can advise on the best ways to balance comprehensive coverage with affordable premiums.
