Breakdown Cover for Classic Cars

With 1.4 million classic and vintage vehicles on the UK’s roads, the need for inexpensive and reliable breakdown cover is greater than ever. Because older vehicles are more prone to breakdown (even if they do cover less miles), classic car drivers should make sure that their breakdown policies are specifically tailored toward their vehicles. Classic cars are often the pride and joy of any motoring enthusiast’s life, so protecting your vehicle against breakdown is no less than of paramount importance.

Classic car ownership in particular is becoming more lucrative, but owners should be cautious when covering their vehicle against breakdown. Lots of classic cars can be excluded from breakdown policies, so it’s important to check your terms and conditions carefully. Just because one type or model of vehicle is covered, it doesn’t mean that all are, so Classic Car Insurers recommend that you don’t assume anything.

Aren’t classic cars usually covered by standard breakdown policies?

No. Unfortunately many of the big breakdown cover providers are unlikely to cover cars that are 10 years old or more. Also, classic vehicles often benefit from a higher level of protection, including options such as recovery to a specialist garage.
