How much do you know about your collector car customers?

What do you know about your collector car customers? Build a rapport by understanding who they are, how they use their cars and what they care about.

Auto enthusiasts who own a collector vehicle are unique. Their passion, hobby and investment all roll up to a toy on four wheels.

In order to provide the best customer service possible, it’s helpful to understand the collector car driver demographic. Here are five interesting facts that may help you build a strong relationship:

• The bulk of buyers used to be baby boomers, but recent U.S. Hagerty data shows that Gen Xers and millennials are seeking classic vehicle insurance quotes more often than baby boomers and pre-boomers.
• Many collector car drivers are nostalgic for a simpler time. They often make purchasing decisions based on memories of what their father or grandfather drove.
• Classic car drivers care about maintenance and doing right by their car.
• Popular pastimes for classic car enthusiasts include attending car shows and participating in organized cruises.
• Many owners look at their collector cars as investments, with each vehicle possessing it’s own unique story - along the same lines as art pieces.

Among the Aviva Lifestyle products we offer, collector cars is among the leading categories made up of passionate customers. Classic cars are more than just a vehicle to them; they are a prized possession.
