Hot Rods: Speed Metal

1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe
Since they started blasting across dry lakes in the 1930s, hot rods have represented the purest iteration of thundering speed machines. Hot rods are the reason we have the sport of drag racing today, while they also inspired many forms of speedway racing, and radically influenced pop culture of the 1950s and ‘60s.

All hot rods are different and built as one-offs to suit their owner’s wants, so today they’re highly prized and highly collectable, so they need the best level of protection you can give them. Our insurance policies are tailored

Original steel or aftermarket fibreglass!

We stand out from the crowd, proudly offering tailored coverage for these unique rides.
From original hot rods built from 1930s metal production cars to fibreglass-bodied street rods powered by the latest fuel-injected engines, we know how deeply you care and how you feel about your modified vehicles.

Drive with peace of mind, knowing your hot rod is covered with us.

What is your vehicle's value?

Hot Rod

We take pride in being a preferred choice for specialised motor insurance, offering tailored coverage for your distinctive cars. Together, we’ll establish a mutually agreed value, considering your modifications and unique features. This agreed value is crucial for custom or rare models, which can be worth above and beyond standard vehicles.

Drive with confidence, knowing that our tailored coverage backs your one-of-a-kind vehicle.

Your choice of repairer

At Enthusiast, we recognise the dedication behind every modified vehicle owner.

In the unfortunate event of a claim, we allow you to use your own trusted repairer, or we can connect you to one of our trusted repairers.

Enjoy the road, knowing that Enthusiast has your unique vehicle covered!

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. Fire away, we love talking about all kinds of vehicles. But first these are questions we get all the time. For more information, please refer to our PDS.

1934 Ford Roadster
How does a nominated driver policy work?
We know you trust the people you let drive your vehicles. That’s why our Declared Driver policy only covers the approved people who’ll get behind the wheel. It gives you a greater peace of mind and a better price.
Will we insure a modified vehicle?
Enthusiasts make everything better. So we make sure modified vehicles still get the coverage they deserve. To be covered, simply disclose all the modifications you’ve made. If they meet Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and/or the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules (AVSR) of your State or Territory of Australia, then we’re all good!
What are salvage rights?
If it’s a total loss, and it’s that precious to you, you don’t have to lose everything. If it’s over 30 years old, salvage rights are automatically included in your policy. If your vehicle is 15 years old or more, the choice is yours – salvage rights are optional. Check out the exact details in the Policy Disclosure Statement.
Who’ll handle my claim?
Real people, real Australian’s, real motor enthusiasts. They can handle any issues or claims claims via phone or email. They’re on-call Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm AEST. Or if you’re into DIY, download a claims form from our website and off you go.
