Being that there are so many choices outside the 3 listed above, it is important you follow a few steps to ensure complete coverage. Always go with a reputable company. If you cannot find anything on them, good or bad, they have not had much experience, or may have something to hide. Another good idea is to get a professional appraisal before committing to an antique auto insurance policy through a company. The professional appraisal allows you to understand how much your car is worth and is proof of how much your car is worth. By the books, the antique car you own may be worth 26k, but maybe you put in 80k worth of work into the car. These are very important aspects to consider. It is ok to ask questions, so do so. Make sure you understand the policies ins and outs. Do not assume something is covered, have the policy writer show you. An antique car is a prized possession and if something should happen to it, have peace of mind it will be covered. There are not many situations worse than putting a lot of money, time and effort into something and then have it gone in the blink of an eye. Also be aware of the requirements of the policy and make sure you can meet them. Do not get a policy that only allows 1k miles when you want to drive it more. You increase risk the more you drive the vehicle. If something was to happen and you were past the 1k mileage mark, your insurance would be voided. Remember these points, and you will be on your way to attaining a great antique auto policy.
