Yes, we are able to provide this cover as part of your Classic Car Insurance package. Insurers will be looking at the type of high-value classic cars you would like to insure, the value, where the vehicles are kept, any security measures you have in place such as alarm systems, and sensors to prevent any unfortunate circumstances. These are some of the factors that can fluctuate the premium to protect you against these kinds of claims.

Statistically, most of the time that people are enticed into purchasing the cheapest online quote from one of the aggregator sites you see on TV, is that you are at high risk of being underinsured. This is because the systems just give you the price based on the information you have added without any expert insurance guidance. You may have unknowingly not ticked something, or put in the wrong information from what the system was asking of you, and of course, no one reads the small print, so there might be something there that can prevent you from getting a claim paid out when you need it most.

There are a number of factors that impact the premium you pay for your classic car insurance, such as age, gender, type of car, location, and occupation.

If you are a younger driver then you would usually pay more than an experienced older driver that has been on UK roads for more than 5 years.

Although insurance companies are not allowed to discriminate gender, males still statistically pay more than female drivers, mostly because they usually have more expensive, more powerful cars, and are usually on the roads for longer.

We would also look at the value of the car and its engine size. The higher the value the classic car is, the higher you should expect your premium to be, as powerful cars are more at risk of getting into an accident and higher value cars are more at risk of being stolen.

The location where your classic car is kept has a significant factor, as if your car is kept in a place where there is a higher crime rate then there is more chance of the car being stolen or broken into.

Your occupation can have a significant effect on your premium because of the number of hours you are on the roads, and also if you carry high-value items which could increase the risk of your vehicle being broken into and the items stolen.
