How much does Classic Car Insurance cost?
The cost of classic car insurance depends on several factors, including your vehicle's agreed value, how and where it's stored, and your annual mileage.

CLASSIC CAR INSURANCE COSTS EXPLAINED
Classic car insurance typically costs significantly less than standard auto insurance—often $200-$600 annually depending on your vehicle's agreed value, storage situation, and how much you drive it. A 1967 Mustang valued at $40,000 might cost just $300-400 per year to insure in Casper, compared to $1,200+ for a modern daily driver. The savings come because classic cars are driven less (most policies limit annual mileage to 2,500-5,000 miles), stored carefully in garages, and maintained meticulously by owners who treat them as investments. Your actual cost depends on your car's agreed value (what you and the insurer agree it's worth), where and how you store it (garaged vehicles cost less), your driving record, and annual mileage limits you choose.
WHAT MAKES CLASSIC CAR INSURANCE DIFFERENT
Unlike standard auto insurance that pays only the depreciated cash value if your car is totaled, classic car policies use agreed value coverage—you and the insurer agree upfront what your car is worth, and that's what you get if it's totaled or stolen. No arguments about depreciation or market value after a loss. Most classic policies also don't require collision or comprehensive deductibles for total losses. However, you'll need to meet specific requirements: your classic usually can't be your daily driver, it must be stored in a locked garage, and you'll typically need another vehicle for regular transportation. Wyoming's harsh winters and hail seasons actually work in your favor here—insurers know classics stay garaged during rough weather, reducing claim risk.
GETTING THE BEST RATE FOR YOUR CLASSIC
Three factors dramatically affect your classic car insurance cost: First, storage matters—garaged vehicles in Casper or Fort Collins cost substantially less than cars parked outside. Second, mileage restrictions lower your rate (agreeing to drive under 2,500 miles annually costs less than 5,000-mile limits). Third, your agreed value should match current market conditions—overvaluing increases premiums unnecessarily while undervaluing leaves you underprotected. We work with specialty classic car insurers who understand collector vehicles, not standard carriers treating your '69 Camaro like a 2015 Honda. Most collectors find coverage options and values they didn't know existed when we shop their classic properly.

Classic car insurance offers specialized coverage designed for collector vehicles, including "agreed value" coverage, which guarantees you’ll receive the car’s full insured value in case of a total loss. It can also cover spare parts, roadside assistance specifically for classics in Wyoming, and even provide coverage if your car is at a show. This ensures your investment is protected far beyond a standard policy.
Agreed Value coverage means you and the insurer agree on your car's value upfront, and you're guaranteed that amount if it’s totaled. Stated Value, however, means the insurer pays either the stated amount or the actual cash value (ACV) at the time of loss, whichever is less. For classics, especially those driven through Wyoming's changing weather, Agreed Value offers far greater peace of mind and protection, as it locks in your car's true worth, and we highly recommend it.
For classic car insurance, an appraisal determines your vehicle's "agreed value," which is the amount you’ll be paid if it's a total loss. You’ll usually need to submit photos, receipts for restorations, and sometimes a professional appraisal report. We're here to guide you through this process to ensure your classic, whether it's a vintage pickup from an oil field or a meticulously restored muscle car, is accurately valued and fully protected.
Classic car insurance typically excludes damage from everyday use, racing, or commercial purposes. It generally only covers the vehicle under specific conditions, like limited pleasure driving, exhibitions, and club events. Always review your policy for exact exclusions and discuss how you use your classic with your agent to ensure proper coverage.
