Summer is in full swing right now; the days are long, and the evenings are warm and clear. Obviously, anyone who owns a motorcycle is out there making the most of it. But, there is another type of vehicle that is getting its time to shine, that old vintage car.
The year is 1968, Frank Bullitt graces the big screen behind the wheel of a car that no one would say no to, a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback. While Steve McQueen likely had enough money in the bank to simply go out a buy another car if anything happened, us normal folk don’t. This is where classic car insurance comes in.
While some insurance companies will insure older vehicles, classic car insurance will usually provide a much more affordable option to cover your baby.
If you have a classic collector car at home and provided that you are only taking it out for a summer cruise, or to a car show, and it is not your daily use vehicle (I mean, come on… while we would all love to show up to work in a 1963 Aston Martin DB5, it’s just not practical), there will be an option for you with classic car insurance.
In order to provide a quote for your vehicle, we only need to know a few things: The year, make, and model; how long you have owned the vehicle, how much it’s worth, how long you have been driving, where you mainly use the vehicle, and how many km’s you think you may drive in a year. In most cases, full collision and comprehensive coverage, as as roadside assistance, is included in the cost. It is very affordable in comparison to normal car insurance and honestly, why not protect what you have put so much time and effort into?
One thing to note, however, is that unlike standard automobile insurance, classic car insurance cannot be issued by us right away.
We need to gather all of the required information and then submit it to the insurance company. Once they approve the application, your new policy is in force and you are good to go. This process can take a few days, so it is best to call us well in advance of when you would like to get your car on the road. Don’t leave it to the day before the car show and run the risk of missing out on showing off! (And by that, I mean your car. Not you. No one goes to car shows to see you. Though if you own an Aston Martin, try wearing a suit and holding a martini).
If you want to make sure your covered or want a quote for your “baby” give Absolute Insurance Brokers a Call at 519 941 2266 today!
