What is the difference between a classic car and a modern classic?

A youngtimer is 15 to 25 years old, and an oldtimer is 25 years or older. Both can be insured at their appraised value, but youngtimers often have slightly different conditions and the premium is usually somewhat higher. We will determine which policy suits the age of your car.

How is the value of my classic car determined?

A valuation is typically valid for 3 to 5 years, after which a revaluation follows.
