Antique car insurance for the automobile collector

Owning a prized possession such as an antique car can be the pride of any automobile collector. However, owning an antique car comes with the responsibility to protect and preserve its value. As the cost of replacement parts would be too expensive in the event of a mishap, an antique car insurance policy can protect your investment.

Many owners of collectible cars invest in special antique car insurance to protect their vehicles from unexpected accidents or damages. Whether you tool around the neighborhood on occasion in your venerable vehicle from bygone days or you show off your pride and joy at an antique show, you will want to ensure you protect it against damage with antique car insurance.

An insurance company determines their own classification of antique vehicles, and will have certain requirements you must meet before they will underwrite an antique car insurance policy for your vehicle. The primary test to determine whether a car is classified as an antique, is the age of the vehicle. While cars 25 to 50 years are usually termed 'classic', it is cars over 50 that generally fit into the 'Antique' category. In some cases, insurance companies may require your vehicle to be registered as an antique depending on state rules. Read more »

Car insurance quote myths dispelled

Insurance companies ask for an awful lot of information when it comes to getting car insurance quotes. The level of detail required by the companies is all used to judge the risk you and your vehicle pose, and how likely it is you will make a claim. There are a lot of myths and rumours surrounding car insurance quotes however, most of which are utter rubbish. Here we dispel the fiction and reveal the truth behind your car insurance quote.

Car Colour Makes a Difference

A common myth but utterly untrue; many people are led to believe that the colour of their car will have an effect on their car insurance quote. There are two schools of thought on colour affecting car insurance premiums. The first idea is that the popular car colours: silver, black and red are easier to sell on and hence hold their value much better. Higher value cars tend to have more expensive insurance quotes, and so the myth goes that if you want to get a cheap car insurance quote, buy a car in a lurid pink.

On the other hand, rumours would have you believe that unusual car colours by their rarity are much more expensive to repair if there is any body work damage, and hence insurance companies require a premium for buying a car in fluorescent yellow. Both explanations are completely false; car colour has no bearing whatsoever on your car insurance quote.

My Credit History Will Be Reviewed

Whilst this was certainly prevalent a few years ago, in most cases now car insurance companies will not check your credit rating. The advent of the internet has made car insurance a highly competitive market, and with so many companies out there, insurers are much less likely to take your credit history into account than they were in the past. Whilst it is true that you can receive a discount to your car insurance quote for paying upfront rather than in instalments, this is true for all customers and has nothing to do with credit rating.

Living in a Sunny Area Will Get Me a Cheaper Quote

The reasoning behind this perpetuated legend comes from the true fact that drivers are less likely to have an accident in clear and dry weather conditions. As the myth goes, if you live in an area which has historically better weather, you will on average have more days on the road with clear and dry driving conditions which means you should have fewer accidents as a result of your geographic location.  This myth arises from confusion about one of the criteria asked for from insurance companies. When getting a car insurance quote, companies require you to provide an address because they monitor the average crime levels in your neighbourhood. The weather is of no consequence to your car insurance quote.


The concept of green car insurance

If you own a green car, then you will need a green car insurance. As it is a law for all vehicles to have insurance, green cars also need to have green car insurance. We all know that the environment is getting worse daily, and the need to go green is rising. Therefore, when you purchase green car insurance, part of the insurance total goes to the organisations that battle against non-environmental vehicles and fight for a better environment. This is the main purpose of having green car insurance.

More and more people are buying green cars these days, although the these cars are extremely expensive. As such, more and more insurance companies are coming up with green car insurance to cater the needs of these customers. Green car insurance is cheaper than the normal vehicle insurance. This is because by offering it cheaper, they can encourage more people to go green and get a green car. Recent research shows that motorists are likely to purchase a green car, which means the market is getting wider and more people are recognising the importance of preserving the nature and saving the environment.

Although when the green car insurance was first introduced, the price soared higher, as people starting to accept the concept of green cars, they begin to show more interest and went on to buy a green car. To date, there have been more than 40,000 green cars sold (as well as green car insurance) and this figure is going up yearly - so green car insurance has a wide market. There might not be too many green car insurance companies right now but soon, we will be able to see more and more insurance companies offering green car insurance. Read more »
