Road tax on vintage cars

What exactly is the oldtimer road tax? When is a car a vintage car and when do you no longer have to pay road tax for a vintage car?

Stall clause/night clause

If your insurance includes a storage clause , the vintage car must be stored in an enclosed area between sunset and sunrise. This is not a carport with a fence in front of it or a parking garage that is accessible to several people.

A variation of this clause is that the storage requirement applies only when the vintage car is within a 1-kilometer radius of the home.

Stowage clause varies by company

Not every insurer sets a standard stowage clause. This varies by product, type and value of the vehicle. Therefore, when taking out insurance, always ask if a storage clause applies.
