When can you consider a car to be antique? Generally, antique cars are those which are already 25 years (or more) of age. Minimum requirements are followed by car insurance providers and so the policies issued to owners of antique cars are often very low and can only reach a maximum amount of $250 a year. Vintage cars can be considered antique cars because they were first manufactured between the years 1920 to 1950.
