Questions? We've got the answers.

Classic car insurance can cover a range of risks, including accidental damage, theft, vandalism, fire and third-party liability. Depending on the policy, coverage may also include spare parts, restoration work and specialist equipment. Many policies offer agreed value coverage to help protect the collectible value of your vehicle. Contact Sandco to discuss your coverage requirements and find out which options may be appropriate for your vehicle.

The cost of classic car insurance depends on several factors, including the vehicle's age, make, model, value, storage arrangements, annual mileage and your driving history. Coverage selections and insurer requirements will also influence the premium. At Sandco, we can discuss your vehicle and insurance needs to help you explore suitable coverage options and obtain a quote. 

Classic car insurance is specifically designed for collectible, vintage and historically significant vehicles. Unlike standard auto insurance, which typically considers depreciation when calculating a vehicle's value, classic car policies may offer agreed value coverage. They may also include specialist protection for restoration work, spare parts and limited recreational use. Speak with Sandco to discuss how specialist coverage may differ from your existing auto policy and whether it is a better fit for your vehicle.

Agreed value coverage is an arrangement where you and your insurance provider agree on the insured value of your classic car when the policy is established. If the vehicle is declared a total loss due to a covered incident, the agreed amount is generally paid rather than a depreciated market value, subject to the policy's terms and conditions. This can be particularly important for classic cars that appreciate in value over time. Contact Sandco to discuss your vehicle's valuation and whether agreed value coverage is available and appropriate for your needs.

Many classic car insurance policies include annual mileage restrictions because collectible vehicles are often intended for occasional rather than everyday use. Mileage limits vary between insurers and policies. Whether you drive your classic car on weekends, attend car shows or use it more frequently, speak with Sandco about your driving habits so we can help identify a policy that accommodates your intended use.

A classic car is generally considered a vehicle that is at least 20–25 years old, although age requirements vary between insurance providers. Some insurers also consider the vehicle's historical significance, rarity, condition and collectibility. If you're unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, contact Sandco Insurance. We can discuss your vehicle, understand your needs and help identify suitable coverage options.

Some classic car insurers require vehicles to be stored in a secure, enclosed garage when not in use. This helps reduce the risk of theft, vandalism and weather-related damage. However, storage requirements vary between providers. Let Sandco know where and how you store your vehicle so we can discuss the available insurance options and any applicable storage requirements.

Yes, although your options may be more limited. Many specialist classic car policies are designed for occasional recreational driving rather than everyday commuting. If you intend to use your classic car regularly, it's important to find coverage that reflects how you actually drive it. Contact Sandco to discuss your driving habits and insurance requirements so we can help explore suitable options.

Some specialist insurers offer coverage for classic cars undergoing restoration. Depending on the policy, this may include protection for the vehicle, restoration work, replacement components and spare parts. Coverage can vary significantly, particularly for vehicles that are not yet roadworthy. If you're restoring a classic car or planning a restoration project, speak with Sandco about the vehicle's current condition and the protection you may need throughout the restoration process.

Yes. Some insurers offer multi-vehicle or collection policies that allow owners to insure several classic cars under one arrangement. This can simplify policy management and may provide cost savings compared with insuring each vehicle separately. If you own multiple classic or collector vehicles, contact Sandco to discuss your collection, individual vehicle values and coverage requirements. We can help explore whether a multi-vehicle policy is suitable for your needs.
