Thinking About A Sports Car – How to Keep Insurance Costs Down

red sports care driving on highwayBuying a sports car can be a lifelong dream. Even if you buy one every other year, the costs for auto insurance can be a bit overwhelming. Costs are higher for a good reason. Sports cars have a higher value. That means they tend to be more costly to replace in a significant accident. Yet, there are a few steps you can take to lower your costs. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Understand Why Costs Are Higher

There are several reasons you pay more for car insurance if you have a sports car. Those reasons include:
  • The higher value of the car
  • The rate at which people drive these vehicles (often at a higher speed than normal)
  • The higher cost of obtaining replacement parts
  • The rarity of the car
  • The value of accessories and add-ons to these vehicles
Considering these facts, it can be hard to get a low-cost auto policy for your sports vehicle. However, there are a few things that may help keep those rates as low as possible. Always Remain a Safe Driver The biggest factor that can save you money is this. Most of the impact on your auto insurance costs comes from your driving habits. Insurance companies want you to be a safe driver. You may meet this goal if:
  • You do not have numerous speeding tickets
  • You do not file numerous insurance claims
  • You do not have numerous car accidents

By far the most important step you can take to keep auto insurance rates low is to maintain a clean driving record. If your record is not clean right now, work to improve this by taking a defensive driving course.

Keep the Vehicle Safe

Another step is to ensure you do not have to file a claim for theft, vandalism, or storm damage. Keeping the vehicle safe reduces your costs in the long term.

For example, store the vehicle in an area that is secure and hard to access. Avoid driving the vehicle and then leaving it unlocked or otherwise unprotected. Add a security system to the vehicle to ensure it remains protected when you cannot be there.

There are other ways to keep your car insurance costs low. Bundle your sports car's auto insurance with your other vehicles and your home. Be sure you have a higher deductible than what is average. This can reduce your premium costs. Contact a CSP Insurance agent today to learn about other discounts available to you to lower your insurance rates.
