Is there a mileage limit for classic cars?

Is there really a limit on how much he can drive his classic car? My dad has an awesome classic car, but he never drives it! He has me listed on the insurance policy and he won't let me drive it either. He said that it can only be driven 2,000 per year or else the insurance will get canceled. 2,000 miles a year is hardly anything!

“Every insurance carrier is different, but it is very common for antique or
classic car coverage
to have a mileage limit.
Most car collectors use their vehicles only in car shows and parades to retain the
vehicle’s value
.
If your father wants to drive the car more, have him shop for new
car insurance
. Companies have different mileage limitations, like:
  • The Hartford offers up to 2,000 miles per year
  • Heacock offers up to 6,000 miles per year
  • Safeco allows for 10,000 miles per year
  • Hagerty boasts unlimited mileage as long as the insured has another car for daily driving
With so many companies offering various options, there is coverage that will meet any need.”
