Collectibles insurance has become essential as markets for art, rare wine, vintage cars and sneakers grow. To help collectors choose the right partner, WAX Collect has compiled a 2025 ranking of leading providers based on coverage breadth, valuation flexibility, digital innovation and client service. We proudly place WAX at the top because of our comprehensive, client-centric approach.
In compiling our rankings we examined a broad set of competitors, including American Collectors Insurance, BriteCo, Collectibles Insurance Services, Distinguished, Hodinkee Insurance, Jewelers Mutual, Orion 180, Private Collection Insurance, Risk Strategies and Vault Insurance, alongside WAX.
"Ranking the industry underscores our vision to lead it. WAX exists because we saw how collectors were underserved. We're committed to setting the bar higher, for our clients and for the entire collector community." says Richard Vinhais, CEO.
Methodology
Our ranking evaluates insurers across six criteria:
- Scope of coverage - Ability to insure multiple asset classes (art, cars, watches, wine, sneakers, comics, etc.).
- Valuation flexibility - Use of agreed value, market value, replacement value, or actual cash value, and coverage in excess of scheduled amounts.
- Deductible options - Availability of low- or no-deductible policies.
- Digital platform and global reach - Ease of obtaining quotes, managing policies online and worldwide transit coverage.
- Market expertise - Depth of underwriting knowledge, claims handling and network of appraisers and conservators.
- Customer feedback - Speed of service, responsiveness and satisfaction.
Why WAX Still Leads
WAX stands alone in combining broad category coverage, flexible valuations and a fully digital platform. Unlike competitors that specialize in only one or two asset types or require manual brokerage, WAX brings together art, cars, wine, sneakers, cards, watches, jewelry and more under a single policy. Our technology allows collectors to bind policies, upload photos and adjust values in minutes, and our claims team. Composed of fellow collectors. Delivers empathetic service.
With over $2 billion in authenticated inventory and thousands of clients actively managing and insuring their collections, WAX combines technology, transparency, and trust in one seamless experience.
