Protecting your hard-earned possessions with adequate insurance is essential for ensuring your peace of mind, especially for supercar owners. Uninsured supercar accidents and thefts are far more severe problems than regular cars as the asset will be more costly to replace or repair. The right supercar insurance will protect you financially in an accident or other unexpected event and help you cover the relevant costs. Read on to explore our helpful guide on supercar insurance from IC Insurance.
The main difference between regular car insurance and supercar insurance is the cost and coverage. Supercar insurance tends to be more expensive due to supercars' higher value and high performance. Our insurance brokers will also consider the high cost of purchasing and maintaining these high-performance vehicles and the specialised repairs that may be required in the event of damage.
Supercar insurance policies are tailored by our brokers to meet the specific needs of the supercar owners and will potentially offer higher coverage limits than standard car insurance policies. Additionally, some supercar insurance policies may offer coverage for track days or other high-performance driving events in which their owners will enjoy participating.
Insurers may also require additional safety features, such as anti-theft devices, installed on the supercar to mitigate the increased risk associated with these highly desirable vehicles. Our supercar insurance packages highlight and address the unique risks and needs of owning a high-value, high-performance vehicle.
A general assumption you can make about your supercar insurance is that your insurance premiums will grow parallel to your car’s value and horsepower due to the risks mentioned earlier. However, other factors will be taken into consideration regarding vehicle insurance; here is a list of the relevant factors.
Supercar vehicle type: The vehicle you drive can affect your insurance rates. Supercars are generally more expensive to insure than regular cars because they are more costly to repair or replace.
Driver’s record: Your driving record can also affect your insurance rates. If you have a history of accidents or traffic violations, you may be considered a higher-risk driver, and your rates may be higher.
Living location: Where you live can also affect your insurance rates. Your rates may be higher if you live in an area with high crime or accident rates.
Age: Younger drivers are generally considered riskier and may have higher insurance rates.
Owners’ credit score: The owner’s credit score can also affect insurance rates. If you have a poor credit score, you may be considered a higher-risk driver, and your rates may be higher.
Increased coverage: The amount of coverage you choose can also affect your insurance rates. The more coverage you have, the higher your rates will be.
