Getting An Online Classic Car Insurance Quotation

An insurance quote can be obtained in a number of ways: you can get one in person, by mail or phone, or via the internet. Providers specializing in vintage and/or antique car insurance, although they offer slightly different services such as flexible rates based on mileage and coverage for things like car shows and other events, are no different.

Nowadays, many insurance companies provide quick and easy online quote services. In most cases, you’ll be required to provide a variety of data in order to receive an accurate quote. You’ll first need to input basic data including your date of birth and location, which might extend to both the location where the classic car is garaged, and the city, county and state in which it’s registered.

After this, you’ll probably be asked to enter information relating to the automobile itself. This almost always includes the year, make, and model. You may also be asked to choose from a series of types of vehicle: car, truck, motorcycle, tractor, et cetera. Many companies specializing in vintage auto insurance use an agreed-value system, in which cases you will be required to enter your valuation of the vehicle, as well as whether it has been modified or not. Most insurers will, with some restrictions, offer some choice with regard to what sort of deductible you’d like. Some will require additional data, possibly including the type of garage in which the car is kept, annual mileage, and so on.

Here are some tips for decreasing your premiums...

1: Get an agreed valuation in advance as this will be your starting point. When you and the insurer agree how much your classic car is worth, you can begin to draw up an insurance policy. Getting a policy without a valuation will just mean it's more expensive than it needs to be.

2: Find out if being a member of a classic car club will decrease your premiums... sometimes you can get a handy 10% reduction!

3: Agree a low mileage allowance and use it to negotiate a lower premium.
