The difference agreed value makes
Why standard auto insurance falls short.
Standard auto policies typically pay actual cash value in a total loss — which factors in depreciation and rarely reflects what a classic or collector vehicle is truly worth. Collector car insurance is typically written on an agreed value basis, meaning you and the carrier establish the vehicle's value upfront. If a covered total loss occurs, that's what you're paid — no depreciation, no negotiation.
Where you keep it matters
Storage and security affect your coverage.
Where and how a collector vehicle is stored plays a real role in how it's insured. Carriers typically want to know whether the vehicle is kept in a locked garage, how secure that storage is, and whether it's protected from weather and theft. Proper storage not only reduces risk — it can also affect your premium and the terms of your policy. We work through those details upfront so your coverage is accurate from day one.
Built around how you actually use it
Coverage that fits how collector vehicles are driven.
Collector car policies are structured around limited and recreational use, which typically results in lower premiums than standard auto coverage. Usage restrictions vary by policy, so it's important to make sure your coverage accurately reflects how and how often you drive the vehicle. We work through those details with you so there are no surprises if a claim arises.
The Graybeal difference
Let's make sure your investment is properly protected.
If you've put time, money, and care into a classic or collector vehicle, it deserves coverage that reflects that. Let's talk through what you have and make sure your policy is built around its real value.
