Schedule I — Vehicle Class

Antique Vehicles

Pre-war and early postwar machinery, often club-toured, usually with original brightwork worth protecting. The oldest cars we insure need the most careful handling — on the road and on paper.

EligibilityGenerally 45 years and older

Antique vehicles carry a different kind of risk than a 1970s muscle car or a 1990s import. Parts are scarcer, original components are harder to source, and the cars themselves are often driven less often — club tours, a handful of shows a year, rarely more.

That combination means the agreed value conversation matters even more here. We work with appraisers who understand pre-war and early postwar vehicles specifically, so the figure on your declarations page reflects what the car would actually cost to replace or restore.

Questions on this class
What counts as "antique" versus "classic"?
There's no single industry line, but antique generally means pre-war or very early postwar — roughly 45 years and older. If you're not sure which fits, tell us the year and we'll place it.
Do antique cars need special appraisal handling?
Often yes — original components on a car this old can be scarce, so an appraisal that accounts for that scarcity usually supports a stronger agreed value.
Other vehicle classes

Muscle Cars & Hot Rods

Numbers-matching big blocks, restomods and street rods. Valued on the build and the receipts behind it, not just the year and trim on the title.

Vintage & Luxury Classics

Postwar European and American luxury — Continentals, Silver Clouds, long-deck coupes with formal rooflines. Cars built to be maintained, not just driven.

Custom & Modified Vehicles

Resto-mods and non-stock builds — a car built to a vision rather than a factory sheet. Underwriting here is about the build quality, not matching a stock spec.

Instruction to proceed

Ask aboutyour antique vehicles.

Tell us the make, model, and how you keep it. We'll tell you what it takes to get an agreed value on the record.
