What does Classic Car Insurance actually cover?
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.

WHAT CLASSIC CAR INSURANCE ACTUALLY COVERS
Classic car insurance protects your collector vehicle in ways standard auto policies don't. The biggest difference is "agreed value" coverage—you and the insurance company agree upfront on your car's worth, so if it's totaled, you receive that full amount (not just market value). Classic policies also cover spare parts sitting in your garage, provide roadside assistance specifically designed for older vehicles that need careful handling, and protect your car while it's at shows or exhibitions. If you're driving a restored '69 Camaro or a vintage pickup to a Cheyenne car show, you're covered—something standard policies don't address.
HOW IT'S DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR AUTO INSURANCE
Regular auto insurance covers your daily driver using actual cash value (what it's worth today after depreciation). Classic car insurance recognizes your vehicle is appreciating or maintaining value, not losing it. You'll need to prove your car qualifies—typically 10+ years old, maintained in excellent condition, stored securely (like a garage), and driven limited miles annually. Wyoming collectors benefit because policies cost less than standard insurance since you're not commuting to work in your classic. Most policies require you have another vehicle for daily use and limit annual mileage to 1,000-5,000 miles.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT IN WYOMING
Wyoming's hail seasons (May through August) make comprehensive coverage essential for classic vehicles. Classic policies typically include coverage for spare parts, restoration work in progress, and even travel to specialized repair shops—if your '57 Chevy needs a specialist in Denver, you're covered. Many collectors don't realize they need agreed value documentation updated regularly through appraisals or photos. We work with Wyoming collectors to ensure your coverage matches your investment, whether that's a fully restored show car worth $50,000 or a project vehicle worth $15,000. Most Casper collectors save 30-60% compared to insuring the same vehicle with standard auto coverage.

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.
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. Unlike standard auto insurance, classic policies often have lower premiums because these cars are typically driven less and maintained meticulously.

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.
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.
