Classic Car Insurance in South Dakota

A classic car is more than just a vehicle—it's a piece of history and a prized possession. Dakota Business Insurance Group, based in Rapid City, SD, provides specialized insurance for classic car enthusiasts across South Dakota. With coverage designed to meet the unique needs of collector vehicles, we help you protect your treasured investment while ensuring it's ready for every drive.

Uses for Classic Cars

Classic cars often have limited use compared to everyday vehicles, making specialized insurance essential. Common uses include:

• Pleasure Driving: Enjoying scenic drives or taking your classic car out on special occasions.
• Car Shows: Displaying your vehicle at local or national automotive events.
• Cruise Events: Participating in organized car cruises with other collectors.

Because classic cars aren't generally used for daily commuting, they qualify for specialized insurance policies to match their unique usage.

Qualifications for Classic Car Insurance

To qualify for classic car insurance, your vehicle must typically meet specific criteria, including:

• Age Requirement: Most classic cars must be at least 20–25 years old, though some collectible newer models may qualify.
• Condition: The car should be well-maintained and restored (fully or partially) to functional condition.
• Limited Mileage: Insurance policies often include annual mileage limits due to the specialized usage of classic cars.
• Secure Storage: A garage or secure facility is typically required to reduce risks of damage or theft.

Benefits of Classic Car Insurance

Classic car insurance offers more precise coverage than standard auto policies, ensuring your collectible vehicle receives the protection it deserves. Benefits include:

• Agreed Value Coverage: Pays the pre-determined value of your car in the event of loss, not its depreciated market value.
• Accessory and Restoration Coverage: Protects custom parts, restorations, and upgrades unique to classic cars.
• Event Protection: Covers risks associated with car shows, exhibitions, and related events.
• Flexible Policies: Tailored policies for lower mileage and specialized vehicle usage.
