You have probably invested a lot of time,money and effort in your classic car, but have you invested in proper classic auto insurance?

When it comes to classic auto insurance, the underwriting is different from that used when insuring your more usual family car. If you want to protect your classic auto investment then it is vitally important that you insure with an insurance company that specializes in classic auto insurance.

Having said that, there a few things to bear in mind when looking for the best classic auto insurance quotes.

Firstly, garaging is important. Most insurance companies will insist that your classic auto is kept in a locked garage or parking area when it is not being driven. Also it has been known for some insurers to deny a claim when the vehicle has been left unattended in a car park or parking lot. This even extends to when and if you take your car on holiday. Parking in the hotel’s lot may void any claims.

Secondly, most specialist classic auto insurers offer a choice of valuation methods, the most common being -

a)The Agreed Valuation Method. Here both the insurer and the insured agree a fair market value for the vehicle that is reviewed each year upon policy renewal. This is considered to be the fairest valuation method, but remember that unlike the usual family vehicle, classic cars can increase in value. This will be of course be reflected by a proportionate rise in premium.

b) The Actual Cash Value Method. With this method, the insurer will only pay out the current market value for the car. The problem with this is that the current market value means the original price of the car when it was brand new less depreciation. Lets say you have an e-type Jaguar that would of cost (for the sake of argument) $2000 in 1968. Today after depreciation the market value used by insurers would be (again for the sake of argument) $300 and this is all you would get if you made a claim.

c)The Stated Amount Method. This method involves the insurer setting the maximum amount that they would pay in the event of a claim. But this maximum amount would be the lesser of either the amount to repair the vehicle, the stated amount or the actual cash value. Once again this method does not take into account the true value of your classic auto and so should be avoided.

Thirdly, how you use your classic auto can have a great bearing on your insurance. A standard classic auto insurance policy may only cover you whilst driving to and from classic auto shows. It you intend to use your classic car for more than this then make sure your policy covers you.

It’s a sad fact of life that insurance companies will do their utmost to avoid paying out on claims so it is in your interest to make sure that have a cast iron policy. When looking for quotes always read the terms and conditions before handing over your cash. If you have or are thinking of getting a classic auto then don’t forget to protect yourself if the worst should happen.

Cheap Auto Insurance: Best Way to Protect Your Auto

October 15, 2009 by admin  
Filed under auto insurance

The car that you have bought after so much so efforts and by collecting money from here and there will obviously be very dear and valuable to you. So, what do you think should be done to protect your car or any auto that you have? It is quite essential to take care of your [...]

Auto Insurance is something that all drivers must obtain 24/7 when driving on the road. Nowaday, everybody is required to have auto insurance most in every U.S State. Here are 5 good reasons not to think like “oh, it’s ok, i never hit anyone in my life”

1. If you don’t have your proof of having auto insurance coverage when the police officer request, be prepared to pay for a big fine! It absolutely will be at least $500 or more. Even if you have your proof of auto insurance, you should always keep it in your car 24/7 when you’re on the road. Because if you don’t, be prepared to have your citation signed off by a police officer, then bring it to your local court and pay $10. But remember to make sure you get it done anytime before your court date that is written on your ticket. I’ll tell you a good reason why! If you miss your first court date, the $10 will be $370 in fine. And if you miss your second court date, the $370 will be close to $1000 in fine. Believe me or not, it did happen to me.

2. When you get into a car accident with you at fault and without auto insurance, you are going to be in deep trouble with the DMV and your fianance when the police come to do the accident report. First, you might get your car towed and license suspended if you tell the police officer that you don’t have auto insurance coverage. On the second, you will also have to pay for cost of all damages caused in the accident, which are the fixing cost for the car of the person you hit and the cost of compensation for his or her injury if caused by the accident. And trust me on this, 95 percent of the time you will, even if that person is not really hurting or suffering from the accident. He or she could still go to the doctor to have check up or treatment, and the longer the treatment last, the more money you’re going to pay. Based on what i estimated as the average, one minor accident without anyone getting hurt will at least cost you $10,000. But in major accident when somone is seriously hurt or injuried that he or she has to be hospitalized, i’d say it’s in the scale of $30,000 – $100,000 that you will have to pay. And you will go to jail if you don’t pay for it.

3. It’s always safe to know that you are insured not only for yourself but also for other people around you. You could always feel safe and not worried knowing that you have auto insurance coverage. Auto Insurance Coverage doesn’t really cost that much if you’re a good driver with no tickets or any at fault accidents. Espeically for young teenage drivers, it could cost just as low as your phone bill if you know the right auto insurance companies.
