Generally car insurance premiums are based on a number of factors beyond the model of car you drive. If you own a Ferrari though, you might find your quotes are over the average cost of car insurance in the UK.
That's because Ferrari cars are performance cars, so they're typically expensive to buy and have incredibly powerful engines. In the eyes of insurers, the cost and risk involved with these types of supercars is greater than a reasonably priced car with a modest engine.
Despite this, a number of personal circumstances are used to calculate your car insurance premium, including:
- Your address
- Your age
- The car you drive
- Claims history
- Your job title
- Your no-claims bonus (NCB)
How can I save on my Ferrari car insurance?
You can't change your driving history, or your age, sadly! But there there are a few things you can do make your car insurance cheaper:
Paying annually
Insurance providers tend to charge interest if you decide to spread costs over a monthly basis. This won't be the case if you pay annually. So, paying for your insurance in one lump sum rather than monthly can actually work out as a cheaper option - if you can afford to do so!
Estimating your mileage correctly
It can be a double-edged sword, but you're only covered for the amount of miles you provide as an estimate when you're searching for a quote.
If you overestimate this, you could end up paying more than necessary for additional miles. However, underestimating your mileage could put your ability to claim at risk, so it's important to provide an accurate estimate.
Improve the security of your car
Additional security devices can help deter thieves and protect your car, this is especially true when it comes to keeping your Ferrari safe. Implementing security features can actually help lower your car insurance premiums.
Compare insurance prices
You shouldn't automatically accept your renewal quote without comparing quotes first. Shopping around can help you find the best deal whether you buy a policy with a new insurer or end up renewing with your current provider.
Consider adding a named driver
Adding a named driver of a certain profile can help lower the cost of your car insurance policy. Naming an older, experienced driver to a policy can be particularly useful for younger drivers.
You'll need to ensure the policyholder is the primary driver of the car, otherwise you could be committing fraud - this is known as fronting.
Increase your voluntary excess
Excess is what you contribute towards a claim. Your voluntary excess is adjustable based on your preferences, whereas compulsory excess is a fixed sum.
Increasing your voluntary excess can bring down the cost of your car insurance policy. But you need to make sure you can afford this in the event of a claim.
No claims bonus (NCB)
NCB is built for each year you go without making a claim. Over time this can help lower your car insurance premiums.
You may have the option of paying to protect your NCB. This means you can make a set amount of claims without losing your NCB.
What car insurance group is my Ferrari in?
Car insurance groups are designed to reflect various elements of your car and its overall risk profile. Each car is designated a number from 1 to 50. The higher the group, the higher your insurance cost could be. It's based on factors such as:
- The car's value: More expensive cars usually fall into higher insurance groups.
- Security features: Security measures that help deter thieves and prevent the chance of a claim can help lower your car insurance group.
- Repair costs: The availability of replacement parts and cost of car repairs is factored into a car's insurance group.
- Engine power: Fast powerful-engines pose a risk by their very nature. They typically fall into higher groups.
Despite features such as the Ferrari Genuine satellite alarm system, there are many risk factors associated to Ferrari cars in the eyes of insurers.
Firstly, Ferrari's are expensive - and replacements parts don't come cheap. They're highly desirable cars, and as such, can attract thieves - particularly older classic cars. Ferrari's are also considered as 'supercars' and have incredibly fast and powerful engines.
These attributes work against Ferrari's in terms of their car insurance grouping, but this vary between each individual model.

How can I save on Audi car insurance?
How much you pay for car insurance for your Audi depends on a lot of factors mentioned above, but there are things you can do to help bring down the cost of your policy:
Pay annually for your policy
You'll end up paying less for your insurance. If you decide to pay monthly for your insurance, you could end up paying up to 20% more2. This is usually down to the interest that insurers charge.
Increase your voluntary excess
Increasing your voluntary excess could bring down the cost of your insurance. But be sure you set it to a limit you can afford to pay if you need to make a claim.
Build your no-claims bonus (NCB)
Each year that passes without you making a claim helps improve your no-claims bonus. This in turn means that your insurer will offer discounts for each year of no-claims that you have. Don't forget you can protect your NCB on your policy as well, so if you need to claim, it won't affect your NCB
Add a named driver
Adding a driver to your policy with a good NCB and no convictions can help reduce the cost of your policy.
Consider your level of cover
People often think that comprehensive insurance is going to be the most expensive, so they decide to go for third-party only to try and save money. This isn't the case, with comprehensive policies often coming in cheaper than third party policies.
