A lot of people have been asking me about the value of having a classic auto insurance policy. They seem to think that if they are going to spend so much money on their car insurance, then they should be able to get the most out of it. The truth is that you can't get more out of your car insurance than you already do. Here are three reasons why.

First, you won't need any classic auto insurance. This isn't like standard insurance where you would have to carry something called liability insurance. When you have a classic car, you don't need that because you don't drive it around the streets. You don't want to be hit by a classic car and you don't want to pay for it. It's a separate entity.

Second, even if you do carry classic insurance, it will be cheaper. Most insurance companies look at cars as just another vehicle. If they see that you drive a classic, they are going to judge you differently. They aren't going to see your passion for the hobby that your car represents.

Third, if you ever do have a claim, you will be lucky. This isn't like regular car insurance where if you have an accident, you are out of luck. If you have a claim, your insurance company will fix or replace your car. They won't try to sue you. This is what I mean by "lawyer-proof."

Fourth, you will save money because your insurance company will never raise your rates. They know that you won't be driving your classic every day. They won't need to put any extra stress on your part because you won't be driving it around. They will still have your car, but they will underwrite it under a different name and offer you a new car.

Fifth, if you carry classic auto insurance, you can really add value to your car. If you want to sell your car, you can tell a potential buyer about your great coverage. Let them know that you only carry classic auto insurance and they won't care. They won't even bother to go to the trouble of checking your car.

That's all that it takes. You don't have to worry about adding any more modifications to your classic auto. All of the work has already been done. You can focus on enjoying the road instead of working on your car.

Does this mean that you should skip getting classic auto insurance? Of course not. Just be aware of the facts and make smart choices. It would be a shame to leave something that could potentially help you get more money to someone else completely. That's why you need insurance. Get the right kind of coverage for the right price.

The first step to finding classic auto insurance that works for you is to find out what kinds of policies are out there. Insurance companies offer many different plans for classic cars. Some have high deductibles and limits on the coverage. Others have more limits and fewer deductibles.

The deductible is what you'll pay first when you file a claim. A higher deductible means you'll have less out-of-pocket money to cover the accident or damage you cause. A lower deductible means you'll pay more out-of-pocket before the benefits kick in. Don't make the mistake of choosing a deductible that's too low.

egg insurance that affects your premiums is the type of car you drive. A sports car is considered a high-risk vehicle because it attracts attention from drivers who may want to make a bad car crash into it. If you drive a four-door sedan, you'll be able to get lower insurance rates. A convertible is considered a high-risk vehicle and will also attract higher premiums. So is a coupe or any type of convertible.

You may be surprised at how much classic auto insurance can vary depending on where you live. Some areas have less traffic than others, and this can affect the premium you pay. If you work in an area with a lot of theft and vandalism, you'll pay more for your policy. Also, if you live in a state with strict laws regarding car insurance, you'll have to pay a higher premium. It's all based on the location of where you live.
