Expanded Collectibles Program

This list completes an already expansive list of eligible collections which can be viewed here. 

Policy Enhancements:

Our new Collector’s Choice endorsement helps solve this frequently asked question:  “My client uses his collection on occasion.  Does that mean it won’t qualify for coverage?”  Collector’s Choice was designed with that client in mind and offers coverage for special occasion usage (e.g., collectible dinnerware that is used on holidays, or musical instruments which are played on occasion).  In addition, it protects items from damage that occurs:

• During shipment of newly purchased items (excellent for internet buyers!!)
• In the repair or restoration process (up to $2,000)
•  While an item is being handled or worked on (up to $2,000)
• To property stored or displayed outside the residence for more than 30 days
•  Due to theft from an unattended vehicle
  

We now also offer:

• Additional deductible options, including $0 (zero) to offer flexibility for your clients
• Competitive discounts for high-values, central station alarms, club or affinity memberships, or in-vault storage
  

And we keep it easy:

American Collectors continually strives to give our agents an edge when working with collectors.  Remember that we do not require appraisals or comprehensive inventories, which makes the submission process a breeze.  Learn more on the Agent homepage; and log-in to quote and submit a risk entirely online via your account today!
