How are Classic Cars Valued?
As with any other motor vehicle, there is a simple ratio for determining what all the parts of a classic car are worth, so an insurance quote and coverage can be provided. That ratio remains simple so long as the vehicle has its original (or stock) parts. Once aftermarket or other third-party parts are included, your insurance carrier may need additional information to be certain you’re classic car is adequately covered.
Some Classic and Antique cars are more than the sum of their parts, though. In the event of a claim, you want to be certain your vehicle has been properly and accurately appraised.
Does Mileage Affect the Insurance Quote?

- How many miles are on the vehicle at the time of the quote? This is a simple odometer reading and for a classic car will have a nominal affect on you classic car insurance quote.
