What Is Classic Car Insurance?

Classic car insurance is designed for vehicles that are treasured and driven with care. Because of this, the premiums are typically much lower than for regular cars. 

Our insurance partners encourage you to enjoy your classic car, whether it’s for a movie night, a local car show, or a weekend drive. In case of a claim, our chosen providers cover your car’s full value without depreciation. They also offer 24/7 roadside assistance, including flatbed towing with soft straps, ensuring high service standards.

Why Do I Need Classic Car Insurance?

In Canada, all vehicles must be insured, regardless of how often they’re driven or if they’re stored in a garage. Classic auto insurance is not only more affordable but also offers key benefits such as:

  • Lower premiums. Insuring a classic car is often over 50% cheaper than insuring a daily driver.
  • Agreed value. The value of your car is determined at the start of the policy, protecting you from depreciation.
  • No mileage limits. Enjoy more flexibility with no fixed mileage limits on your classic vehicle.

When Do I Need Classic Vehicle Insurance?

You need to insure your classic car as soon as you own it, regardless of usage frequency or storage conditions.

I dealt with Hilary Phelps. She is an extremely valuable employee. I found her to be compassionate, caring and easy to talk with. She is highly intelligent and guided us through the whole process and made me feel at ease during my difficult time. I also believe, if possible, she deserves a raise in salary . I do not know what her salary is, but in any event, her assistance was so very much appreciated. Deborah Church

Recently I was asked to help out an elderly friend, 92 this Friday, who couldn't figure out why she hadn't seen her home insurance renewal. Given I was not the policy holder, I expected it would be difficult to get information and thankfully I dealt with Yvonne Hudson who helped resolve the issue and did so quickly. Definitely a pleasure to deal with Yvonne

Alex truly is a legend. I genuinely cannot think of better words. My wife had a great experience with Alex (noting she had to work through a difficult conversation with her) and when it was my turn to work with Alex, I was so happy with the care she showed our family. I’m an actuary by trade and have a strong understanding of insurance products and calculated risk. Alex ensured that my wife and I got the best possible options for us as a result of weighing our feedback. I cannot stress enough how important that is in the insurance industry. Alex, we will work with you/Duliban as long term clients because of the care you showed us. I can speak to home and auto on this front. (shout out Amy as well!) I would recommend anyone to Alex/Amy and Duliban to anyone. Bravo and thank you
