Allianz Classic Car Insurance benefits

If you also take out partial or fully comprehensive coverage as part of your classic car insurance, damage to your own vehicle is also covered. With Allianz's additional modules, you can customize the coverage of your car insurance.

All-risk cover offers maximum protection for cherished classic cars, including damage from braking, operation, or breakage:

  • Applies in conjunction with classic car comprehensive insurance
  • Available for classic cars rated condition 2 and appraised with a market value of at least €25,000

The Driver Protection insures the person behind the wheel of the classic car—regardless of who caused the accident:

  • Payments for loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation
  • Available for classic cars and campervans

Broken down with your classic vehicle? The Premium Roadside Cover gets you mobile again – no matter how far from home you are:

  • Reimbursement for towing service, onward travel, return travel, or overnight stay

  • Compensation according to German liability law
  • Available for classic cars, motorcycles, and campervans
