Collectibles Insurance

We Protect What You Your Clients We Collect

Because It's More Than Just a Collection

For over 15 years, Private Collection Insurance has proudly protected collectors across Canada. As collectors ourselves, we know that collecting isn’t just a hobby—it’s a passion, a pursuit, and sometimes, even an obsession.

To outsiders, a collection might look like just “stuff” or “junk,” but for those in the know, every piece tells a story, holds a memory, and connects to something greater. 

Whether it’s the nostalgia of sports cards and memorabilia, the sound and pops of vinyl records, the taste of whiskey and wine, the beauty of a fine work of art, or something entirely unique, Private Collection Insurance is here to protect what collectors collect.

A collection is more than items — and we understand that like no one else.

With decades of experience and a shared passion for collecting, our team knows the thrill of the hunt, the joy of discovery, and the satisfaction of completing a set. We’ve helped countless collectors safeguard their lifelong treasures, ensuring their stories are preserved for the future. We also work with insurance brokerages to help their brokers protect their VIP clients’ most valued treasures.

Because Insuring Your Collection Matters

High-value collectors—fine art, luxury vehicles, rare memorabilia, collectibles and jewellery—expect tailored insurance solutions that match the sophistication of their assets. But for many  collectors, accessing specialized insurance programs for collectibles can be a challenge, creating gaps in coverage and missed opportunities for peace of mind.

We founded Private Collection Insurance (PCI) with a clear purpose: to fill a critical gap in the market by being the Canadian Managing General Agent (MGA) that truly understands collectors and the brokers who serve them. With over 20 years of insurance expertise and an unwavering commitment to excellence, we’ve built our reputation as a trusted partner for brokerages  and collectors across Canada.

Here’s why insuring a collection is essential:

  • Financial Protection: Covers the full value of your collection, including rare and irreplaceable pieces.
  • Tailored Coverage: Specialized policies designed specifically for collectors, not just lumped into a homeowner’s policy.
  • Peace of Mind: Safeguards against theft, damage, or loss, so you can focus on enjoying your treasures.
  • Real-World Scenarios: From accidental damage to natural disasters, the right policy ensures your collection is always protected.

Individual collectors should never rely on their homeowner’s insurance policy to protect what matters most to them. Collectors, don’t leave your hard-earned passion to chance—invest in protection as unique as your collection.

Insurance Protection for Growing Collections

Blanket coverage makes insuring a growing collection effortless:

  • Automatic Coverage: New additions are instantly protected, no need to update your policy.
  • Simplified Valuation: Often covers a collection as a whole, up to a specified limit, without unnecessary/individual appraisals, unless an individual item is worth more than $20,000. 
  • Peace of Mind: Focus on finding your next treasure, knowing your entire collection is protected.

Protect your passion with a policy that evolves as your collection grows.
