What does Ryno car insurance cover?

Ryno has policies tailored to a range of different vehicles, including classic cars, muscle cars, performance cars and bikes. When you take out a policy, you can expect to be covered for the following:

  • Agreed value cover, including accessories and modifications
  • Your choice of repairer
  • Salvage option, giving you the rights to keep the car if its written off
  • Car hire if yours needs repaired or work done on it
  • Flexible coverage, tailored to your needs
  • Excess-free glass cover. If your windscreen is damaged, you don't need to pay an excess
  • Lifetime guarantee on all authorised repairs

Keep in mind that these are just some of the benefits available when you take out a policy. Ryno can tailor cover to your needs, so your policy might be a little different.
