About our Q plate insurance
We provide Q plate insurance for classic cars, kit cars, ex-military vehicles and motorcycles manufactured in or before 1990. If you’re having problems finding insurance, give us a call. Our experienced team underwrites policies on behalf of the UK’s leading specialist insurers, and our admin fees are among the lowest on the market. Your Q plate insurance policy can include:
- Motor legal expenses (up to £100,000)
- Breakdown and accident recovery
- Cover for shows and events included as standard
- Modified and custom vehicle options
- Limited mileage discount
- Enthusiast club member discount
- Laid-up cover
- Multi-vehicle discount
You can insure your Q plate at an agreed value at no extra cost and update it whenever you need to. If it’s written off after an accident, you’ll receive that pre‑agreed settlement, minus your policy excess. And if it needs work after a claim, you can choose your own specialist repairer who understands the unique nature of your vehicle, to ensure it’s returned to its pre‑claim condition.

Frequently asked questions

Most insurers rely on a registration number to understand a vehicle’s age and background. When that information isn’t available, it becomes harder to assess the risk accurately. That uncertainty can make some insurers reluctant to quote, which is why specialist Q plate insurance is often needed.
Q plates are common on kit cars, former Ministry of Defence vehicles and any vehicle where the original identity can’t be verified. If your project has been rebuilt from mixed parts or lacks a VIN, it may also fall into this category.
