So you have an antique? You say you don’t want anything to happen to your “baby”? Then do something about it! There’s no reason you shouldn’t have somebody come to you when you’re on the side of the road with no gas left in the tank. Or when a tire of yours is flattened and you don’t have any spares. There’s no reason at all that anybody with a classic car doesn’t deserve an insurer who will always be there to help them when it’s needed. That’s why you should get your car insured as soon as possible. But before you go searching for that insurance, listen to what I have to say, it will help you in the long run.
You don’t want to have to push your car down the road. So, one of the key things to look for in insurance is road side assistance. When you have this all your worries in the world are wished away. You no longer have to worry about what happens when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your car is an antique, treat it like one!
Next thing, if you’re looking for an insurer that allows you to use your car regularly you may have a tough time. Most insurers only allow you to use your car during a show or a special event. Also included in this, is the statement that your car must be locked in a safe storage area while not in use. As you can see, your car must truly be an antique if you wish to find insurance the easy way.
One other thing to look for while searching for an insurer is to make sure they have an agreed value contract. This contract basically states that if you’re car is totaled or out of commission permanently, you will receive a refund on what you paid for the insurance. This way you know you’ll be financially safe if something does happen to your “baby”.
If you have a repairman that you use consistently than make sure the insurer allows you to use the repair shop of your choice. If you go wherever you can to get a quick fix then this is not necessary for you to have.
Surprisingly enough, there are a few insurers that supply coverage for any persons working on the antique as well. If an injury occurs during a show or special event some companies will actually supply insurance for that person as well. No matter what, make sure you get the car insurance that fits you the best. Enjoy your “babies”! Happy riding!
