This extra value may come from its age, historical significance, modifications, rarity, and its exceptional &quot;pristine&quot; condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A collectible car may also be a vintage car or an antique car (usually 25 years or more old), but it does not have to be old to be collectible. A brand new, special edition car with an extremely high price can be a collectible car, such as a million-dollar sports car.<\/p>\n<p>Hot Tip: If you have questions about classic car insurance and how to get insurance for a collectible car, you can reach out to us at Advantage Service Insurance, serving Erie, CO and surrounding areas, to get them answered.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Insure a Collectible or Classic Car?<\/h2>\n<p>Most insurance for collectible cars is based on the appraised value. You will have to get an appraisal, which is from a source that is satisfactory to the insurance underwriter. This appraisal should be reviewed regularly if the value of your vehicle changes.<\/p>\n<p>You and the insurance company will agree on the insured value up front before the policy is issued.<\/p>\n<h2>Restrictions on Use<\/h2>\n<p>There may be restrictions on your use of a collectible car, including when it can be driven, mileage restrictions, how it must be maintained, restored, or preserved, and that it must be stored in a secure, locked facility.<\/p>\n<p>You may only be able to drive your collectible car to shows, events, and for pleasure on occasional weekend use in order to keep its status as a valuable collectible car.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us at&nbsp;Advantage Service Insurance, serving the Erie, CO area, to get a quote on collectible and classic car insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there a difference, from an insurance perspective, when it comes to insuring a car that may be a vintage car, a classic car, an antique car, or a collectible car?
