First, let’s take a brief look at what Classic Car Coverage is. This coverage applies to cars with an appreciating value – meaning it rises over time. Insurers classify these vehicles in a few ways and the language can vary by company. Cars of higher value over ten years old are typically referred to as classic, while those over 25 years of age are often described as antique. In some cases, newer cars may be deemed modern or future classics.
Avail Insurance Solutions LLC is happy to discuss the details of your California or Oregon vehicle to better classify it.
When To Review Your Classic Car Coverage
If you already have classic car coverage, it’s a good idea to check in annually to make sure you are adequately protecting your car. Other times you might want to examine coverage include:
-
After completing significant improvements
-
Before taking a longer cruise
-
After purchasing expensive specialty restoration tools
-
After acquiring related valuable memorabilia
Special Coverages to Consider

-
Spare Parts & Automotive Tools – This covers special tools and parts used to restore and maintain your classic ride.
-
