Classic & Collector Car Owners Are Flocking to This New Auto Insurance Program

Written by ClassicCars.com | 11/4/2024

November 4, 2024 | In a market where costs are rising, it’s unsurprising to read reports that 49% of auto insurance customers are actively shopping for more affordable rates. Beyond getting basic cost relief, classic and collector car owners face the additional challenge of finding auto insurance protections that fit their unique needs and those of their rides. In recent months, however, many auto enthusiasts appear to be finding both significant savings and superior coverage by switching to classic and collector vehicle insurer OpenRoad.

Since launching this past summer, OpenRoad has seen massive growth in collector vehicles signing up for their new insurance program. Their customers are not shy about sharing the details about why they switched. More and more reviews highlight significant cost savings, better coverage, and excellent customer service. One OpenRoad customer review reads, “Pricing was 20% lower than their direct competitor for the exact same coverage on multiple vehicles… These days, when insurance (cost) is outrageous, these people stepped up to the plate … Thank you, Open Road.” Another review states, “Almost half the price (of) your competitors for equal coverage.”

Superior Customer Service & Specialized Coverage

Beyond the significant cost relief, many customers also point to the excellent customer service they received with reviews that include statements such as “The team went above and beyond to help us” and “Overall, the best experience I’ve had setting up insurance.” That’s some high praise for an auto insurance company.

When you look deeper into its program design and available coverages, it is easy to understand why the brand continues to receive such positive feedback from its customers. OpenRoad’s program was designed from the ground up by a team of collector vehicle and insurance experts with one goal; Provide superior classic car & collector vehicle auto insurance coverage at a fair price. “Our program is different as it was designed with specialized coverages and services tailored for the unique needs of auto enthusiast owners,” said Richard Hutchinson, CEO of OpenRoad. “We are proud to offer the auto enthusiast community more choice, comprehensive coverage, and the fair pricing they deserve.”

Delivering Superior Customer Service & Specialized Coverage

Unlike standard auto insurance programs, OpenRoad’s agreed-value policy covers your car for what it’s worth, considering the time, effort, and investments you put into your vehicle and its condition and rarity. With OpenRoad, you also know that if you need to file a claim, the repairs will be done right. Not only will repairs be done with parts specifically tailored to your vehicle, you’ll also get to choose a repair shop you know and trust, one that specializes in collector vehicles and classic car restorations.

OpenRoad also offers a generous emergency roadside cost reimbursement program at no additional cost. They also include relocation and temporary storage coverage for major disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires and other coverages you simply can’t get with standard auto insurance programs.

Rapidly Expanding Across the U.S.

To keep up with the massive market demand, OpenRoad has been quickly rolling out its auto insurance program across the U.S., growing coverage availability from 4 states to 12 since the summer. Coverage is available in Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The brand plans to be live in 16 states before the end of the year, adding Michigan, Texas, West Virginia, and Colorado to its roster. For regular updates on state launches, you can sign up for their launch newsletter and get notified as soon as coverage is available for your area.
