Insurance eligibility
To be eligible for classic car insurance, your vehicle must fit one of the following definitions:
Classic Car: A vehicle 10 to 24 years old that is a rare make and model due to exceptional workmanship or limited production.
Antique Car: A vehicle 25 or more years old. If a 'classic car' is more than 25 years old, it is considered an antique car for insurance purposes.
Your antique or classic car must also meet these conditions:
Limited Use: Your antique or classic vehicle should only be used on a very limited basis.
Condition: The car (generally) must be restored, maintained or preserved. Some insurers may decline if the vehicle is not in excellent condition.
Storage: It is always recommended and sometimes required that you will store your vehicle in a secured garage.
Policy payouts
State Farm® offers agreed-value policies which means if the vehicle experiences a total covered loss, we will pay this agreed-upon value rather than the actual cash value of the car as long as there is no prior damage to the car, parts have not been removed, and the car's condition has not deteriorated because of abuse or neglect.**
Antique or classic car policies include typical vehicle coverage options, such as liability, collision, comprehensive, medical payments and more.
