Waimak Classic Car Insurance
Insuring a classic car is not the same as standard vehicle cover. It requires a specialist insurer that recognises its rarity, how it’s used, and market demand. Waimak Classic Cars can help with guidance and support so you can secure the appropriate insurance cover for your classic, vintage, or collectible vehicle, including classic motorcycles.
Unique Insurance Options for Unique Vehicles
While some things cannot be replaced, the right insurance can take the sting out of loss through a clear understanding of the real value of your classic. Being a classic car enthusiast is like being part of an exclusive club that appreciates design, history, and craftsmanship. However, classic car ownership can come with high costs, not just to purchase and maintain the vehicle, but also to repair it, particularly when parts can be rare, expensive, or sourced internationally, and sometimes all three at once.
With bespoke, specialist classic car policies designed specifically for unique and collector-grade vehicles, your vehicle can be protected against theft, damage, and unexpected repair costs.
Classic Car Insurance Options:
- All vehicles insured on an agreed value basis
- New vehicle replacement cover (where applicable) if a new vehicle is written off within 24 months of purchase from a New Zealand franchise dealer
- Rating models based on individual usage and distance travelled
- Discounts and package premiums for vehicle collections
- Bespoke collection cover recognising vehicles that are primarily stored but still driven
- Insurance for vehicles under restoration
- Cover for specialist vehicles, including race cars, stock cars, 4x4s, show cars, heavily modified vehicles, and Low Volume Vehicle certified builds
- Automatic extension of cover to include spare parts for the insured vehicle
- Recognition of international values for limited production vehicles, where local comparables are not available, agreed upfront
- Track day cover is available on application and acceptance for controlled use events
We share your passion for timeless design and automotive history, and we understand that standard insurance policies are not designed for unique, exotic, prestige, muscle, or classic vehicles. Our approach ensures your policy reflects the true nature of your vehicle, so that if the worst happens, your expectations are met and your investment is properly protected.
At Waimak, we believe the right answer is simple: classic cover for a classic vehicle.
