How old does a car have to be for classic car insurance?
HMRC usually considers a car a classic if it’s older than fifteen years old and worth £15,000 or over. However, in some cases, we consider cars as young as five years old to be classics, so if you’re the proud owner of a modern American classic car, don’t hesitate to call us.

Are classic cars cheaper to insure?
Classic cars are often cheaper to insure – especially with a specialist car insurance provider like us – as the vehicles are usually not as high powered as modern cars. However, in most cases, American imports will be more expensive to insure than classic cars manufactured in the UK.
In many cases, classics increase in value over time, so taking out the right policy can help protect your investment.

Excess Protect
Excess Protect
Even though having the right insurance can save you money when you need to claim, your policy excess could still run into hundreds of pounds.
Our excess protect policies will pay your excess for you, up to an annual limit, if you need to make a claim on your policy – saving you money.
The amount of excess you have to pay depends on your policy and can be found on your policy documents. If you opted for a voluntary excess this is an extra amount on top of your compulsory excess, which can bring your premiums down, but is payable on top of your compulsory excess when you make a claim.
We offer excess protect cover at different levels to suit your policy. Speak to a member of our team to find out more and to add it to your policy.

Spare Parts
Spare Car Parts Insurance
Whether you own spares for your kit car or are in the process of modifying your day-to-day motor, are collecting parts for a future mod or have just got a few old spares lying around, your standard insurance policies could be leaving your vehicle spare parts dangerously unprotected.
Sadly, most household insurance policies exclude cars and their unattached parts, and even those that do offer cover could end up costing you dearly with high excesses and the premium rises after a claim.
But, with Adrian Flux’s Spare Parts Insurance, you can get cover for storing thousands of pounds worth of spares at home or in your car from as little as 15.00.
