A lot of people have a fascination with classic cars. Many people spend enormous amounts of money protecting these cars as they are considered valuable assets. If you’re one of them, you have to make sure that you get classic car insurance.

Classic car insurance is a specialised car insurance policy specifically designed to offer protection to your classic car. To be eligible, your vehicles must be at least 10 years old and driven no more than 5,000 miles in a year.

The policy usually offers laid up cover and comprehensive road cover depending on the needs of the client.

When looking for classic car insurance, it’s important to look for insurance companies that offer legal and windscreen cover. This is usually thrown in for free.

Insurers from the UK usually cover most European countries free of charge so long as the car owner is a permanent UK resident and visits other countries for no more than 90 days.

Other insurers also provide cover for classic cars that are being used on weddings. This cover will protect the owners against loss of income for any reason.
