Hello there, Gail.

I suggest you verify first how “antique car” is defined in Vermont since it may vary from state to state. Although in most of the 50 states, I know that a vehicle is considered antique if it is over 30 years old. Perhaps, most cars are meant to have a life of about 10-15 years and once the car reaches the 30 year mark, it becomes antique.
Collecting antique cars is a very popular hobby not only in the U.S. but also abroad. However, since antique cars are rarely ever driven, it can be very impractical to insure an antique car with traditional car insurance. Even if insuring and antique car is very much like insuring a normal vehicle, you might find it rare to find auto insurance for antique car in Vermont.

When you get to find one, your car insurer will usually try to determine your car’s value by hiring an appraiser to view your vehicle. Sometimes auto insurance companies use the blue book value. Assessing your antique car’s value is important to be determined before you are given auto insurance coverage by any car insurance company. Antique car insurance may come in three types: stated value insurance, agreed value insurance, or cash value insurance.

You can shop around for these types by typing your zip code on the relevant space found on this page. Hope this helps you!
