It's The Sentimental Value Of Your Vintage Car Not The Price Of Your Insurance Policy That Matters

A vintage car is one which has been built between 1919 and 1930 based on the British cut off point; however the proper time period differs from country to country like in America it's taken to be up to 1925. Though a vintage (classic) car has no real definite definition, it is usually a car more than 20 years old and more than £15,000. Vintage cars are those vehicles that you no longer see on the roads but just the one that you have been dreaming of driving as a kid. While some forget their childhood dreams soon enough and opt for modern cars (what with more power, more sleek models), others still like to make their dreams come true and go for a classic car even just to possess one and not to really drive it around. An example would be the 1970 Camero or the 1965 super minx, beautiful antiques that car nuts are crazy about.

Getting a good insurance for a vintage car is not only to get it covered from harm and accidents but because it holds sentimental value to you too, you want to know that it will be covered for all purposes like breakdown, travelling or loss of keys etc. Each insurance company provides a different package in terms of money being invested, insurance coverage, period of time of contract and side options (European breakdown, coverage in EU countries for specific periods or unlimited, personal injuries, limited mileage, covering more than 1 vehicle, number of drivers allowed etc). The best thing to do before you go for a classic car insurance policy is to check out the various companies and see where you can get the best deals that are appropriate for your car and you.

While you can just walk up to a car insurance company and get a quote for your vintage car, you can choose to get one right online too; it's easier and quicker and gives you a general idea of how much it can cost. Always be concise in what you are looking for, what you expect to get and remember that a classic car gets more value over time (it gets more expensive over time as it gets older and becomes more of a classic) so mention that clause in your policy. A broad range of vintage cars can be covered such as Rolls Royce, Austin, Peugeot, Porsche, Rover, Sunbeam, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW etc and the quote will vary accordingly (how easy it is to get car parts and replace etc).
