For most cars that we may use to drive to work, or take those family vacations, auto insurance is pretty straight forward. Depending on the laws of the state in which you live, the minimum requirements are usually easy to understand and usually feature bodily injury liability and property liability coverage, both very important for protecting your assets. The idea of getting into a car accident, being found at fault, and not being able to cover the costs, especially as everything gets more expensive, is a frightening thought.
For most classic car owners, the idea of an improperly covered car is worse. The idea that all of those hours and all of that money, put into restoring or maintaining that classic, going to waste, is cause for a troublesome headache. One of the differences that is important to understand when it comes to protecting your classic baby is that between comprehensive and collision coverage. Unlike liability coverage, these options are rated by deductible, and the cost to replace the car should it be totaled.
Collision covers your classic if you're in an accident and found at fault. Don't beat yourself up if this should happen; accidents are so named for a reason. Still, you want to be able to repair or fix your car, so you should look into protecting your classic car with this coverage option. Comprehensive covers accidents such as a tree falling on your car, or hitting a deer. Both coverage options usually have a variety of available deductibles, sometimes ranging from zero dollars to thousands.
If at any time, you are confused about your coverage or a new plan you are considering, you ought to have it reviewed by a licensed professional. Many states handle this licensing differently but all require course work and tests to obtain the license. Many states mandate that insurance professionals participate in continuing education credits in order to keep their license current. If you're nervous about consulting an insurance agent, you should seek out a certified insurance consultant, who is obligated by law to provide you an unbiased review.
Boring as they may be, make certain to read your classic auto coverage carefully, for sometimes certain situations are not covered, and you'll want to make sure that your coverage is right for you and your use of your classic car. If you only use it for shows, for example, and tow it to shows, or take it on a trailer, you won't likely need to pay for any liability insurance, but you'd want to make sure you have comprehensive coverage.
