Why Sports Cars Cost More to Insure
Have you ever wondered why insuring a sports car is pricier than insuring other vehicles, even if the sports car itself is less expensive? Here are the main reasons behind this.
Insurance Group Categories
Insurance companies categorize cars into groups that affect premium costs. These groups range from 1 to 20, with Group 1 being the least costly to insure and Group 20 the most. For example, a Fiat Panda falls into Group 1. In contrast, any sports car will likely be in Group 15 or higher. If you own a high-performance sports car like a Porsche 911, it will certainly be in Group 20.
Theft Risks
In the UK, over 2 million car crimes occur annually. Aside from popular models like Ford, sports cars are highly targeted. If you own a convertible sports car, the theft risk increases dramatically. Consequently, even if you live in a remote area, your car is still considered high-risk for theft, leading to higher insurance premiums.
Accident Statistics
Insurance companies thrive on data, and statistics show that sports cars are more likely to be involved in accidents. Moreover, these accidents tend to be more serious and costly compared to those involving regular vehicles. As a result, the insurance premiums for sports cars are significantly higher.
Drivers Under 30
For drivers under 30, insuring a sports car is even more challenging. Not only is the car considered high-risk, but younger drivers are seen as riskier to insure as well. Therefore, if you’re under 30 and driving a sports car, expect to pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the UK today.
These factors collectively explain why sports cars come with steeper insurance costs, regardless of their initial purchase price.
