The AOVC has partnered with Footman James who provide an insurance solution that delivers specialist cover for classic vehicles to owners, collectors, restorers, private clients and traders.

Footman James have been providing specialist vehicle insurance for over 35 years. They play an active part in the classic vehicle industry, working with over 150 clubs, associations and infinity groups. 

Footman James policies have been designed with you in mind, for example their Classic Car and Classic Bike insurance policies come with show and events cover as standard.

You can also further tailor these policies to suit you by choosing from a range of additional options, collectively called FJ+.

Additional options include:

•Agreed Value: Rest assured in the knowledge that the true value of your vehicle has been settled and agreed at the beginning of your policy. Prices for classic cars and bikes are from £12

•Nil-Deduction Salvage Retention: If the worst should happen and your vehicle is involved in a total loss claim, this option allows you to retain your vehicle and/or its parts (subject to the salvage category applied) with no additional costs involved to purchase the salvage at the time of a loss (restrictions may apply). Prices for classic cars and bikes are from £15

•FJ Rescue provided by RAC: Breakdown service provided by the RAC. Pricing for classic cars and bikes are from £40 

All FJ+ options can be added to your cover at anytime (certain restrictions may apply). Footman James can also arrange policies for your competition car, kit car and replica car too, as well as classics. They can insure all of these vehicles plus your modern daily driver on one Flex (up to 5 vehicles) or Multi-Vehicle (over 5 vehicles) policy - providing you with just one premium, one set of documents and one renewal date for your fleet of vehicles.
