I’m 25yrs old and I have two classic cars: a 1973 VW Beetle and a 1976 VW Campmobile(aka “hippie van”). Both of them were taken off the road for about a year but now that summer’s approaching, I’m getting them reinsured and reregistered. A lot of people keep telling me to get antique car tags, because then I won’t have to put up with the hassle of paying for inspection each year and other fees. I’ve also heard that classic car insurance is very cheap — only a few hundred a year for full(liability, comprehensive, collision) coverage.

Last year, I had my cars on a regular insurance policy and I paid $12/mo for the Campmobile and $36/mo for the Beetle(The campmobile was cheaper because it qualified for the multicar discount). This was for state min coverage–liability only. Do you think classic car insurance would save me much money?

Also–how hard is it to get approved for classic tags, and how long does it typically take? I understand I need to send in pictures. Advice?
Richard, thanks for your feedback. However, do you know how much they’d cost or how long it takes to receive them after applying? I live in Pennsylvania(Bucks County) by the way.
I’m still planning to keep my daily driver(Mustang). Plus I normally use mass transit to get to work or any other events downtown in the city. I’d be driving my VWs very minimally, mostly just for weekend pleasure rides or showing off to friends. So any restrictions on the antique cars’ mileage or days is A-okay with me.
