More and more people are getting involved in the collector car hobby. Whether it's rebuilding an old classic, or purchasing the vehicle of their dreams, there are millions of collectible vehicle owners in the U.S. with more added every year.

Most people insure their classic car with their family auto insurer without realizing that Collector Car Insurance from Heacock Classic is available to offer them better coverage (such as "Agreed Value" physical damage coverage) at much lower rates.

We're looking for individuals who are passionate about the hobby of restoring or collecting automobiles. We believe true automobile enthusiasts are inclined to take extra care in the way they use, maintain and store their collector cars. As a result, our rates are usually less than half the costs of family auto insurance.

The Heacock Classic insurance policy has been customized to define how the vehicle may be used and in some cases, who will operate it. Our standard program is designed for collector cars driven 3,000 miles per year or less. We also have excellent rates for racing cars and museum collections.

Heacock Classic is a division of Heacock Insurance Group, Inc. based in Sebring, FL. Heacock Insurance is a full-service independent insurance agency which has been in business since 1922. In 2002 Heacock acquired Parish Motorsports Insurance in Burns, TN and merged it with their collector car division and operated under the trade name Parish Heacock Classic Car Insurance until 2007 when the name was changed to Heacock Classic.
