Simply put, we want you to enjoy your classic vehicle. While there are some restrictions in the policy, you’re covered for pleasure use, whether it's a drive on a gorgeous summer day, a trip to the ice cream shop, attending club events or going to shows. If you have specific questions about usage, especially if you own a newer vehicle (generally 1990 and newer), we're happy to discuss them with you.
Guaranteed Value insurance policies guarantee that, in the event of a covered total loss, you will receive the vehicle’s full insured value, which we will have already agreed on. Please see the policy features main page for more details.
