Classic Car Insurance in Maryland
Coverage That Respects Your Automotive Investment
Classic and collector vehicles deserve more than standard auto insurance. Whether your car is a restored antique, a vintage cruiser, or a prized collector model, traditional auto policies often don’t reflect its true value. At Simpson & Blom Insurance, we help classic car owners across Annapolis & Beyond secure specialized coverage that protects both the financial and sentimental value of their vehicles — so you can enjoy your pride and joy with confidence.
What Makes Classic Car Insurance Different?
Agreed Value Coverage
Unlike standard auto insurance that pays actual cash value (depreciated), classic car insurance uses agreed value. This means you and the insurer agree on your vehicle’s value upfront — based on condition, restorations, and market trends — and that amount is paid in the event of a total loss.
Lower Premiums
Classic cars are typically driven less and carefully maintained. As a result, classic auto policies often cost less than standard auto insurance for comparable coverage.
Flexible Usage Coverage
Policies are designed for pleasure driving, car shows, parades, and weekend cruising — not daily commuting. These usage guidelines help keep premiums affordable.
Garage & Storage Protection
Most classic car policies require secure storage, such as a garage, helping protect your vehicle when it’s not on the road.
Spare Parts & Memorabilia Coverage
Many policies can include coverage for spare parts, tools, or collectible memorabilia associated with your vehicle.
Why Standard Auto Insurance Falls Short
Standard auto insurance is built for daily drivers — not collectible vehicles. It may undervalue restorations, custom work, or rarity. In the event of a loss, that gap can be costly. Classic car insurance is specifically designed to recognize your vehicle’s true worth and provide coverage that aligns with how it’s used and cared for.
Whether you’re showcasing your car at local events like Annapolis Cars and Coffee or enjoying relaxed weekend drives, having the right policy ensures your investment is properly protected.
