Classic Jeep Insurance
What is classic Jeep insurance?
Classic Jeep insurance is insurance specifically designed to protect classic Jeeps. It is similar to regular car insurance in many ways, but it also has some unique features that make it ideal for classic vehicles that are used on a limited-mileage basis or as a daily driver!
Unlike regular car insurance, classic Jeep insurance is designed to consider the fact that classic/vintage Jeeps are often driven infrequently and may not be used for daily commutes or long trips. Lancaster Insurance Services provide can provide cover for classic cars whether you plan on using it for a few months out of the year or on a daily basis.
If you're only planning on driving your classic Jeep during the Summer months for example, you will likely benefit from a cheaper premium due to the lower mileage requirements of your insurance policy.
This means that the premiums for classic Jeep insurance are usually much lower than those for regular car insurance.
For many classic Jeep owners, classic Jeep insurance may give owners peace of mind should they regularly experience problems with their vehicle, we provide benefits such as salvage retention and a 24-hour claims helpline for our customers so that you can focus on driving your car and not have to worry about repairing it.

Are old Jeeps expensive to insure?
When it comes to insuring a classic Jeep, the cost can vary depending on a number of factors. Generally speaking, classic Jeep insurance can be expensive compared to insuring a more modern vehicle.
This is because, when it comes to classic Jeeps, insurance companies have to factor in the cost of repairing the vehicle in the event of an accident.
As such, classic Jeep insurance can be more expensive than insuring a regular Jeep but factors such as mileage limits, driving history, previous claims, car club member discounts, and more can affect the overall cost of your classic vehicle insurance.
The type of coverage you choose for your classic Jeep will also have an effect on the insurance cost. If you choose full coverage for your classic Jeep, you will likely pay more than if you opt for a more basic level of coverage.
Full coverage will provide more protection in the event of an accident, but it will also be more expensive. For more information on how our policies may be able to benefit you when insuring your classic car, you can speak to one of our insurance specialists on 01480 484 826.
The part of the country where you live may also have an effect on the cost of classic Jeep insurance. Insurance companies take into account the frequency of accidents and theft in the area and adjust their rates accordingly.
If you live in an area with a high rate of accidents or theft, you may have to pay more for classic Jeep insurance than if you live in an area where this happens less often.
In summary, whether classic Jeep insurance is expensive or not depends on a number of factors, including mileage requirements, if you've applied for any car club member discounts, where you plan to store your vehicle overnight, and more.
