Exotic and Classic Car Insurance

By William Bobson


Nothing will keep your new investment in a prestigious automobile safer than an exotic car insurance policy. Exotic cars--younger cars that are considered collectible--require special insurance coverage. As you look around for insurance for the cars, you will be given the option of many different plans. There are some general things that you ought to be aware of as you buy a plan.

Exotic cars tend to require a special policy that covers not only accidents but also depreciation and modifications. It is quite simple: you choose from any of a number of mileage tiers that, in turn, indicate how much you will be driving the car. This allows you to pay insurance only on the miles that you use. Additionally, liability rates are often available that cover passengers in multiple cars at a single flat rate. This is ideal when you own a collection of cars.

The car usually is appraised before you can receive insurance coverage in a process called "agreed value" appraisal. Agreed value coverage allows you and the insurance adjuster to reach common terms as to the overall worth of the car. It also allows you to have a concrete idea as to the payout you can expect in the event of an accident. This appraisal also provides an indication about the potential devaluation of the car that is possible due to inflation.

A number of plans give you the opportunity to purchase spare parts to repair damages with a stipend. This rarely covers the full cost burden (which is quite large on exotic cars), but it is a significant help. The majority of plans also provide a grace period in which you can purchase a car and have that car automatically be insured under your existing plan. This grants you the requisite time to find the ideal plan for your car. If you searching for insurance on California classic cars, make sure you research your states specific requirements.

Special policies for events, foreign travel, and extended driving are also available. Towing and maintenance fees are generally not included. Car age is often important in determining which policy to purchase, since older cars tend to be eligible for standard collector car insurance.

With a limited number of exotic car insurance providers, the internet will be your friend as you look to find a suitable provider. Since the market for this insurance is not as thick as for regular cars, pricing disparity might be significantly higher, so you search and comparisons will be well rewarded. After you match your needs with a competitive price, you are ready to enroll. After you receive the necessary paperwork, enjoy the ride!
