CLASSIC MINI INSURANCE FAQS
How much does it cost to insure a classic Mini?
Classic Mini’s can be insured fairly cheaply if there is limited mileage and the policyholder has a low risk profile. As a specialist vehicle insurance broker, we look for policies that are designed for the way you use your classic Mini, with all the benefits of lower mileage, secure storage and proper care.
The cost of your classic Mini insurance will depend on your specific model, mileage, driving history and age, but by considering all these factors, we can find the best option for you and your classic Mini.
Can I insure my classic Mini before I buy it?
Yes, you can insure a car before you buy it, but you ideally should have at least committed in writing to make the purchase, or paid a deposit. You can set insurance to start from the date you collect or take delivery of the vehicle.
Can I make savings by insuring multiple Minis?
This depends on how many vehicles you want to cover and how many drivers you need included. Our flexible multi car policy is ideal for vehicle collections or for when you want to add your daily driver onto the same policy as a classic, for simplicity. You can save up to 25% against insuring your vehicles separately, depending on the ratio of vehicles on cover to drivers.
What ages can you cover on a specialist Mini insurance policy?
Our classic Mini insurance is available for drivers aged 25 and upwards. The current maximum age for specialist car motor cover is 79.
I store my classic Mini at a professional facility; does this affect my insurance?
It’s important to notify your insurer of the storage address, and if you plan to change it at any point.
What mileage can be covered on a classic Mini insurance policy?
There are various mileage limit options available, usually up to 5,000 miles but with some insurers up to 7,500 miles per annum. If you set a lower limit and want to extend it mid-term, this can be arranged; just give us a call (before you reach your mileage limit as this may affect your policy).
Can I get agreed value from the start of my classic Mini policy?
Absolutely we can do this for a classic Mini. For vehicles worth over £30,000 we will require photographs prior to agreeing the valuation; if you are able to provide these in advance of your policy start date then it is usually possible to have your value set at the outset of cover.
Am I covered if I use my classic Mini as a wedding transport for a friend?
If you want to use your car as wedding transport for a friend and don’t intend to charge them, you would be covered and there is no extra charge on your insurance. ‘Hire and reward’ arrangements, such as wedding car hire, require a different kind of insurance cover.
