Military Vehicle Insurance
Military vehicles are by their nature outside the mainstream of normal
vehicle insurance.
There are several companies who specialise in military vehicle insurance.
These military vehicle insurers can be found here Military
Vehicle Insurance .
Generally, because of vehicle licensing regulations these historic military
vehicles place restrictions on their use , specifically non commercial
and in most cases the military vehicle insurance restricts for purely
pleasure use. With plenty of military vehicle events and major commemorations
like the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy landings to attend, the military
vehicle insurance premiums are actually reasonably priced compared to
most domestic cars and commercial trucks.
Membership of one of the two recognised military vehicle clubs is required
by some of the specialist military vehicle insurers.
The Military Vehicle Trust - MVT -
and Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society - IMPS
both provide additional services to help military vehicle enthusiasts
register their vehicles with the DVLA and to validate the year of manufacture
- this is vital to ensure that the vehicle owner is able to take advantage
of some concessions in Road Tax and in some cases where the vehicle meets
specific age, weight and other requirements to validate it's exemption
from MOT or HGV testing. If a vehicle is test exempt, it does however
have to be roadworthy and comply with current UK law and the driver must
have a suitable licence.
