Not insurance rates or quotes.
A standard auto policy settles a total loss at actual cash value — depreciated book value — which can pay a small fraction of what a collector car is worth. Specialty classic policies for Mountain View collectors use agreed value instead, with pricing built around how collectors actually use their cars.
Mountain View & Santa Clara County
The state's own crash rankings recorded 215 people killed or injured on Mountain View roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 23 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out. In the year the state last ranked, 17 fatal or injury collisions in Mountain View were hit-and-runs, which is what uninsured-motorist coverage exists for. Speed was a factor in 37 fatal or injury collisions in Mountain View that year, and a speeding ticket goes on the same driving record your rate is built from. 44.6% of Mountain View households run a single vehicle, so when that one car is off the road the whole household is, which is what rental and towing cover are actually for. 28% of workers here are on the road half an hour or more each way, and more time on the road is more exposure, whatever your record looks like.
