Policy Overview¶
The Apex Private Client Auto & Collections Coverage Policy ("Policy") is a specialized automobile insurance contract engineered for high-net-worth individuals who own, operate, or collect luxury, exotic, vintage, antique, and limited-production motor vehicles. This Policy is issued by Apex Financial Partners Insurance Company ("the Company," "We," "Us," or "Our"), domiciled in the State of Delaware and holding an AM Best rating of A+ (Superior).
Subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limits of liability set forth herein, the Company shall indemnify the Named Insured against direct physical loss or damage to Covered Vehicles and against liability arising from the ownership, maintenance, or use of Covered Vehicles. This Policy replaces standard personal auto insurance with a comprehensive program specifically designed for vehicles whose value, rarity, or provenance requires specialized underwriting, valuation, and claims handling expertise.
Coverage is available for daily-driver luxury vehicles, exotic and supercar models, classic and antique automobiles (25 years or older), limited-production and coachbuilt vehicles, competition and track-day vehicles (by endorsement), and curated multi-vehicle collections. The total insured fleet value under a single Policy may range from $250,000 to $50,000,000 or more.

"Partial Loss" means damage to a Covered Vehicle that is less than a Total Loss and is economically repairable.
"Collision" means the upset of a Covered Vehicle or its impact with another vehicle, object, or the ground surface.
