Just as with other vehicle insurance, you have a couple of options to choose from when insuring your vintage or classic car.
What is vintage & classic car insurance?
Just like driving a modern car, if you drive a vintage or classic car, you’ll need to take out insurance. While you might be tempted to insure your older car as you would a regular vehicle, there are many benefits to opting for specialised vintage insurance.
Discounted Rates
Vintage car insurance is usually cheaper than standard vehicle insurance as it’s considered lower risk. This is because you’re not expected to use your classic car as your main vehicle.
Mileage
Your vintage car insurance will allow you to drive 5,000 kilometres a year. Perfect for Sunday drives and visits to classic car conventions!
EU Cover
Get 30 days of cover to drive in the EU if you’re travelling for a vintage or classic car show.
Additional Cover
We also offer insurance for vintage and classic jeeps, trucks, campervans and tractors if they meet the right criteria.
Discounted Membership
For just €30, we’ll register you with the IVETA vintage club and you will receive information on upcoming vintage shows and runs.
Dedicated claims team
In the event you need to make a claim, our knowledgeable staff will navigate you through the process.
How vintage & classic car insurance works
You can get classic car insurance if your car is over 20 years old and you have a main car policy. Your classic car should also be in excellent condition, be used as a second car and not exceed 5,000 kilometres a year. We can also help you find classic insurance for jeeps, tractors and trucks if they are eligible.
Simply choose your level of cover and we’ll help you find the best provider and package for your needs.
