As the owner of a classic Corvette, you know the special thrill of other people looking at you with envy as you drive past them, or when they see you working on your car on weekends. Chances are that you also know the importance of having adequate coverage for your collectible car, including coverage that goes beyond mere liability insurance, and addresses the special conditions that a collectible car require.

What you may not know, is how to shop for the special coverage you need, so here are some things to look for when comparing specialty insurance companies:

• Agreed Value: With standard, mainstream insurance policies, valuation for coverage is based on "actual cash value," which is basically book value minus depreciation, but for a collectible car, whether it's been lovingly restored, or merely has a host of aftermarket parts, "agreed value," in which you and the insurer review the car in question, is the way to go. Don't even consider any other valuation.
• Unlimited Usage: If your 'Vette is one you actually drive, you'll want to find a collector car insurer that doesn't restrict the amount of miles you're allowed to drive in a year. Contrary to popular opinion, there are a few that offer unrestricted mileage, and there are more who offer fairly generous mileage allowances.
• Liability Coverage: Some specialty insurers treat collectible cars like art pieces, instead of automobiles, so you'll want to make sure the policy you select includes liability coverage, for those times when you are driving. You'll need this anyway, to keep your Vette street legal. It's important to be certain that the liability insurance doesn't require you to be IN the vehicle, as well. Some specialty insurers won't cover accidents or thefts that happen in the parking lot while you're in a restaurant, for example.
• Show Coverage: If you participate in car shows, you should ask about special show coverage that will reimburse you if you're stranded en route, and cover your tools and trailers if you tow your car to events, instead of driving it.
• Additional Car Coverage: Most collector car insurance gives you a price break - and in some cases the first 30 days free - when you wish to add a second car to your policy. If you are the type to never settle for just one collectible car, be sure this is a policy feature with the company you choose.
• Low Deductibles: Even though your car is a sports car, as the owner of a collectible you are a low-risk driver. You probably have a clean driving record, without any tickets - even speeding tickets - for at least three years, and you also probably have a significant amount of experience - at least ten years - behind the wheel of any car, so be sure that your collectible policy has a low deductible. If you don't drive your car very often, you may even be able to find a policy that has no deductible.

While all specialty insurance policies - and the companies which provide them - are different, the common thread is that such policies are more easily tailored to your needs. With careful shopping you can get the coverage you need, with a reasonable premium, and then you can set about the fun part of owning a vintage Vette: driving it.
