Specialist Car Insurance FAQs

What is specialist car insurance?

Specialist car insurance is a type of vehicle insurance specifically designed for unique or high-risk cars. These can include classic cars, high-performance vehicles, modified cars, or cars with high value. The policies are tailored to the specific needs and risks associated with these types of vehicles, offering a more comprehensive coverage than standard car insurance policies.

Who needs specialist car insurance?

Specialist car insurance is for those who own cars that mainstream insurers may consider high-risk or unusual. This can include cars that are more expensive to repair or replace, have a higher risk of theft, or are more likely to be involved in an accident due to their performance capabilities. This can also include cars that have been modified. Standard policies might be too expensive or not comprehensive enough for car owners like you to feel comfortable that your pride and joy is protected.

How is specialist car insurance different to a high street insurer?

Specialist insurers understand and cover the specific risks and needs of unique vehicles. They offer comprehensive coverage that may not be available with standard high street insurers. High street insurers often provide more generalised policies that may not fully cover the unique needs of high-value or high-risk vehicles. Specialist insurers, on the other hand, have the expertise and flexibility to provide policies that are tailored to the unique needs of drivers and car owners like you.

Can I get coverage for driving other cars with specialist car insurance?

This can vary based on factors like your age, occupation, and existing risks. It’s best to discuss this with your insurer to understand the specific terms and conditions of your policy. At Keith Michaels, we do offer 2nd car discounts, but this is often where your second car is driven considerably less, such as a show car.
