Join our exclusive private club when you insure your classic car collection or motor trade business.
Classic Insurance Services is a company you are unlikely to have heard of unless you are in the know.
We have grown rapidly during our eight years of trading, insuring nearly 1000 motor trade businesses and a similar number of collectors, ranging from a handful of cars to multi million pound collections.
Our client base is a veritable who’s who of the classic and specialist car world. This has been achieved without advertising, instead relying on recommendations from one client to another.
People in the know come to us!
The Private Client team, headed up by Carole Pearson, have many years of experience providing insurance cover for collections both small and large. They look after a number of individual cars worth in excess of £20m, and collections over £100m.
For cars worth over £1m, vehicle cover is available on a worldwide, All Risks basis that includes overseas transit cover. This not only saves significant sums of money for those clients who move cars around the world, but it is also a valuable administrative timesaver.
Another advantage of our experience and industry reputation is our ability to agree car values for clients, up to the highest of values, without the need for, or the expense of, an independent valuation.
We are also able to include everyday cars in the collection. Our view is that if clients are driving their everyday cars they can’t be driving their collection cars, and vice versa. Bringing everything into one policy usually results in significant premium savings.
Classic Insurance Services, with its extensive knowledge of the insurance industry and the classic car market in particular, understands just how important customer service is and that is why we have put the client at the very heart of our business. Every client has a dedicated Client Manager, who knows the owner and the collection. The Client Manager will manage cover from beginning to end, delivering first class service and confidentiality throughout. There are no call centres, no centralised helpdesks, just personal, quality and expert support.
