I get where you’re coming from, but I’d argue the mileage cap actually makes a lot of sense for some folks. It’s not just about saving money—it’s about protecting your investment. Classic cars aren’t getting any younger, and the less they’re on the road, the lower the risk of something going wrong. Yeah, tracking miles can be a hassle, but if you’re mostly hitting up shows or weekend drives, it’s usually not as restrictive as it sounds. Regular insurance might feel simpler, but you end up paying for risks you’re not really taking. Just my two cents.
I get the logic behind the mileage cap, but doesn’t it kind of defeat the purpose of owning a classic if you’re always worried about going over? I mean, what if you want to take a longer road trip once in a while or just end up driving more one year? I’d hate to feel like I have to keep my car in the garage just to stay under some number. Maybe it works for folks who only do shows, but for anyone who actually wants to enjoy their car on the road, it feels a bit limiting.
I get where you're coming from, but honestly, the cap never really bothered me. Most years I barely hit half of it, and I still get to take the car out for some nice drives. If I want to do a big trip, I just plan for it and maybe skip a few casual runs. The lower premiums are worth it for me. Guess it depends how much you actually drive your classic... not everyone wants to rack up miles on something that’s hard to replace.

I get the logic, but man, I’m terrible at planning. If the sun’s out and I feel like a random drive, I don’t wanna be doing math in my head about mileage. Guess I’m just not disciplined enough... or maybe I just like excuses to drive more than I should.
Honestly, that’s the catch with these policies. The savings are nice, but if you’re not into tracking miles or remembering limits, it can bite you. I’ve seen folks get claims denied just because they went over by a few hundred miles. Not saying it’s a dealbreaker, but it’s something to think about before signing up. For some, peace of mind is worth a bit more in premiums.
