Many of these cars are started with a crank handle, and a kickback can break a wrist or a thumb. Exposed hot mechanical parts add the risk of burns. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover treatment, hospital stays and surgery after the accident.
The route uses roads open to traffic, from dawn into the afternoon, in the November cold. After an accident, assistance and repatriation at actual cost organises your evacuation from the scene and your journey home, including if you crossed from the continent with your car.
The Veteran Car Run is not a race and has no speed classification. The Competition option becomes useful if you also enter your car in official events during the season, such as historic rallies or hill climbs, where it covers you in competition.
These cars have no seatbelts, little bodywork and in some cases no windscreen. A collision with another vehicle or leaving the road can cause lasting injuries. The permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 helps you adapt your life after such an accident.
The start is at dawn in Hyde Park, often in November rain or fog. Sitting in the open for hours, crews get cold fast, hands go numb and concentration slips. Basic brakes, heavy steering and modern traffic around slow cars mean accidents rarely come from speed, and more often from a stop that cannot be made in time.
Running a veteran car also means regularity rallies, club outings and historic events throughout the year. Our rally insurance protects drivers and co-drivers in training and in competition, at home and abroad, whatever their country of residence, so you stay covered well beyond this one day in November.
The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run links Hyde Park in London with the Brighton seafront. Open only to cars built before 1905, it is not a race but a test of endurance for people and machines at a moderate pace, traditionally held on a Sunday in November.
Planning a veteran car run or a classic tour on open roads? We insure all your crews in a single policy, anywhere in the world. Medical assistance can be reached around the clock throughout the event, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner of your event.
Yes. Personal accident insurance covers one person. Each crew member who wants medical costs, assistance and the disability capital takes out their own policy, which can be done online in a few minutes.
No, not for the Run itself, which has no speed classification. It becomes useful if you also take part in official historic races or rallies during the season.
No. This is not cancellation insurance: entry, crossing and hotel are not refunded. The policy covers the crew if someone suffers an accidental injury, not mechanical failures or travel costs.
A crank kickback is an accidental injury linked to your activity. Your treatment, hospital stay and any surgery are covered up to €150,000, with assistance if you need to be brought home.
The price depends on your profile, the length of cover and the options you choose. The online quote shows the exact price in a few minutes, for you and for each crew member.
