How much does it cost to insure a sports car?

I’ve always wanted to own a sports car, and I finally have saved enough to afford one. They’re expensive in general, but how bad is my insurance going to be?

Congratulations on your dream car. There are a lot of factors that go into car insurance, so let’s look at some of them. Insurance companies will look at the following when determining your insurance policy:
  • Car make and model
  • How it performs
  • Horsepower
  • How many cylinders it has
  • How much you paid
  • Height (of the car)
  • Weight (of the car)
  • VIN (vehicle identification number)
These components all help determine the car’s risk factor because they contribute to the speed of the vehicle. Often, the faster you can drive, the higher the risk because the damage will be worse if you get into an accident and how much the repairs and parts will cost.
Your
insurance companies
will also want to know your age, location, and driving history as all of these factor into how much you’ll pay for your car insurance. Some of them may even qualify you for discounts.
You are going to have to decide what kind of coverage you need. Because this is your dream car, I recommend that you at least get
comprehensive coverage
that will cover your car in an accident or other unexpected occurrence.
