We offer specialist kit car insurance designed to protect your pride and joy—on and off the road.

Why You Need Kit Car Insurance?

Standard car insurance often doesn’t account for the value, build process, or bespoke nature of a kit car. Our dedicated policies are tailored to meet the needs of:

  • Self-assembled and part-built kit cars

  • Classic-style replicas and performance kits

  • Low-mileage show cars

  • Road-legal and track-use vehicles

Our flexible kit car insurance can include:

  • Track Day Cover in association with the Association of Track Day Organisers
  • Limited Mileage Discounts – Lower premiums for low annual mileage
  • Mirrored No Claims Bonus
  • Parts Only Cover
  • Breakdown Cover
  • Laid-Up / SORN Cover – Ideal if your car is declared off-road with a Statutory Off Road Notification
  • EU Cover – Includes temporary driving in Europe

Why Choose Need to Insure?

UK-Based Specialists – We understand UK roads, laws, and the kit car community
DVLA and IVA Support – We help insure kit cars during and after Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA)
Flexible to Your Build Status – Update your policy as your build progresses
Competitive UK Pricing – High-quality protection without the high cost

Getting a Kit Car Insurance Quote

To provide an accurate quote, we’ll need details such as:

  • Your kit car make and model (e.g. Caterham, Westfield, GBS, MEV)

  • Chassis and registration status (pre-registration, SORN, IVA passed)

  • Your intended use (road, show, track days, etc.)

  • Where it’s stored and what security measures you’ve taken

  • Your age, driving history, and any previous kit car experience

 Call for a Quote – 01623 720081  – No commitment, instant cover options available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I insure my kit car while I’m still building it?
A: Yes. Our build-up insurance gives you cover for fire, theft, and damage during the build—even before DVLA registration.

Q: What if my car isn’t registered yet?
A: No problem. We offer cover during the pre-registration and IVA stages.

Sports Car / High Performance Car Insurance

Posted on Updated on by RayBostromCategories:Car Insurance, Specialist Vehicle

High Performance / Sports Car Insurance: Protect Your Dream Ride with Confidence

Owning a sports car is more than just having a mode of transportation—it’s a passion, a statement, and a symbol of your hard work. But with the exhilarating performance and sleek designs come higher risks. Whether you drive a high-powered Lamborghini, a track-ready Porsche, or a classic Corvette, it’s crucial to have the right insurance coverage to safeguard your prized possession.

Why You Need Specialized Sports Car Insurance

Sports cars are not like regular vehicles. They come with unique challenges when it comes to insurance, including higher repair costs, increased risk of theft, and the need for specialized parts and expertise for maintenance. Standard car insurance policies may not offer the comprehensive protection your sports car deserves.

With sports car insurance, you’ll benefit from:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Get protection against theft, vandalism, fire, and natural disasters—important for high-value vehicles.

  • Agreed Value Coverage: With sports cars, depreciation doesn’t always apply. Agreed value insurance means you and your insurer agree on the car’s worth upfront, so you get the full value in case of a total loss. (Subject to underwriting criteria)

  • Higher Repair Limits: Sports cars often require specialized repair services and parts that can be expensive. Your policy should cover these higher costs.

  • Track Day Coverage: Some sports car enthusiasts like to take their cars to the track. A specialized policy can provide coverage for these high-performance driving activities, which traditional policies typically exclude.

Tailored Insurance for Your High Performance Sports Car

Every sports car is different, and so are the needs of their owners. That’s why we offer flexible, customizable insurance packages designed to suit your specific situation. From comprehensive coverage to liability protection, we can tailor your policy to meet your driving habits and budget.

Finding good-quality insurance cover for a sports car at a sensible price is not easy, especially so if you have a sports car which is modified or you plan to modify.

Need to Insure can offer you competitive insurance quotations for Standard or Modified sports cars.

If you drive a sports car and need insurance, talk to the specialists at Need to Insure. No matter what make of performance sports car you drive our team can find the right insurance policy for you. We compare all our quotes to suit your individual needs, so you can be certain your car insurance is as unique as your car.

We can even include the following options subject to acceptability.
