Are Ferraris expensive to insure?

Collector car insurance for a Ferrari can cost quite a bit more than other vintage vehicles. Many auto insurance companies consider them high risk due to their performance, speed and desirability but the average price varies depending on the model.

As no two Ferraris or their owners are the same, we use various factors to determine your insurance rates:

  • Your age
  • Where you live
  • Where you keep your car when not in use
  • Where you work
  • Previous claims and convictions
  • Your annual mileage
  • Your agreed voluntary excess
  • Which optional extras you choose
  • Which Ferrari model you own
  • Modifications you've made to your vehicle

For competitive insurance rates based on your Ferrari and personal preferences, contact our team today.

When is a Ferrari considered a classic car?

According to HMRC, a car becomes a classic at the age of 15 and when it's worth at least £15,000, while for tax purposes, your Ferrari doesn't get that status until it's 40.

Don't worry if yours is younger, though. Some cars were built for classic status, like your pride and joy. It's more about how you use it, rather than the age of vehicle.

Here at Lancaster Insurance Services, we know a true classic vehicle when we see one, which is why we insure both vintage and modern Ferraris when used and protected as a classic should be.

So, whether you own an original from the '60s or one from the last decade, don't hesitate to give our helpful team a call to purchase auto insurance for your vehicle.

How does agreed valuation work?

Agreed valuation is a specialist benefit for vintage vehicle owners. We understand that the market value of your pride and joy is always fluctuating.

That's why we send out a valuation expert to check your motor and agree its actual worth with you. We guarantee this value in the unfortunate event of a total loss claim instead of current market value, which could be lower.

To add this optional extra to your current auto insurance policy, give our team a call on 01480 484806.

Ferrari's classic cars are an epitome of style, power, and elegance, making them highly sought-after by automobile enthusiasts worldwide. These vehicles are not just mere cars, they are a testament to exceptional Italian craftsmanship and engineering.

What sets Ferrari's classic cars apart is their timeless design, breathtaking performance, and the brand's rich racing heritage. Each model narrates a unique story of innovation and passion. The thrilling roar of their engine, sleek design lines, and iconic prancing horse logo are sure to turn heads wherever they go. Owning a classic Ferrari is about owning a piece of automotive history that is both an investment and a pleasure to drive.

Estimating the yearly mileage for your classic Ferrari can be a bit of a challenge, but it's not impossible. One way to get an estimate is by looking at your past driving habits. Take a look at how often you drive and for what purposes.

If you mainly use your Ferrari for special occasions or weekend joyrides, you can estimate a lower yearly mileage. On the other hand, if you use your Ferrari as your daily driver, you'll likely have a higher yearly mileage estimate. It's also important to consider any planned road trips or events that may require longer distances. By taking all these factors into account, you can come up with a reasonable estimate for the mileage of your classic Ferrari.

When it comes to iconic classic cars, Ferrari has definitely left its mark in the automotive industry. With a rich history of producing high-performance vehicles, it's difficult to choose just one as the most iconic.

However, if we were to narrow it down, the Ferrari 250 GTO would definitely be a strong contender. Produced between 1962 and 1964, this car is not only visually stunning but also holds a special place in racing history. With only 39 units ever produced, the 250 GTO is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its timeless design and impressive performance make it a true symbol of Ferrari's excellence and innovation.
