How can I insure a Japanese import car?
I've loved the Nissan Skyline since I saw it in 2 Fast 2 Furious. I just found a great deal on one that I could ship to the U.S., which is basically my dream come true! However, I'm worried about being able to insure it. How do I insure a Japanese import car—is there anything I should know?

To insure a Japanese import car (or any other high-value collectible vehicle), look for a policy that allows agreed or guaranteed value coverage. Usually, this means purchasing
classic car insurance
.Classic or collector car insurance is one of the only types of
car insurance
that allows drivers to establish a guaranteed value for their vehicle. Put simply, it’s the appraised value of your vehicle and the amount your insurer guarantees they will pay if your car is deemed a total loss due to damage.Not all classic car policies allow coverage for newer collector vehicles, so you’ll have to do some shopping to find a policy that’ll work for you.
