Our classic car insurance policies can be tailored to your specific vintage vehicle needs, but typically include:
Agreed Value Insurance Cover for Classic Cars
We work with you to establish a fair agreed value for your classic British car, ensuring you receive appropriate compensation should the worst happen. This removes the risk of standard market value depreciation affecting your vintage car insurance payout.

Recognising that classic cars aren’t typically used as daily drivers, we offer various mileage limit options to help keep your classic car insurance premium competitive while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Access to approved specialists who understand classic British cars and can source appropriate parts. This includes coverage for original manufacturer parts where available, specialist fabrication when needed, traditional repair methods, and sympathetic modern upgrades.
