Insurance for hobby cars and other hobby vehicles

Hobby vehicle maintenance may take hours of time and trouble, so hobby cars and motorcycles are worth insuring against any losses. Please contact our customer service and insure your hobby vehicle not only with motor liability insurance but also hobby vehicle insurance.

A hobby vehicle may be a motorcycle, car or van or a lorry weighing no more than 6,000 kg. Campervans cannot be insured as a hobby vehicle.

For a vehicle to be classed as a ‘hobby vehicle’, it must be at least 20 years old, registered and typically only used for part of the year.

Hobby vehicle insurance provides cover in case of loss or damage

Hobby vehicle insurance covers loss or damage to your hobby vehicle. We recommend the extensive hobby vehicle insurance, which covers not only collision damage but also theft, collision, fire or vandalism losses, for example. Extensive hobby vehicle insurance also covers towing if your trip is interrupted following the vehicle’s fault of damage.

If you have a hobby car or motorcycle more than 25 years old, you can also select limited hobby vehicle insurance. Limited hobby vehicle insurance does not cover damage caused by collision or vandalism, but will still cover, for example, theft and fire losses.

The purchase and renovation of hobby and museum vehicles has often required a lot of money and time, and this is why you should get proper insurance for it.
