Looking to insure a high-end or luxury car such a Porche, Cadillac, or BMW? Getting coverage for a high-end or luxury car isn't difficult, however, you'll want to discuss options with your insurance company or agent who can help you get the coverage you need.
Keep in mind, insurance for a high-end or luxury car is different from getting insurance on a car that's considered classic, antique, or exotic.
Is there specific insurance for high-end cars?
In general, most insurance companies don't offer separate auto insurance policies for high-end or luxury cars. However, a standard auto insurance policy can be customized to fit your needs. For example, you can ask about higher limits, as well as endorsements for protecting specific features of your vehicle.

A standard auto insurance policy includes all the basic coverages. However, for a high-end car, you may want to make sure you add Comprehensive and Collision Coverage to your policy. Given the high cost of parts and labor to repair high-end cars, these coverages can help regardless of fault.

- New Car ReplacementTM Insurance: if your new car is stolen or totaled in the first year, you'll get the money for a brand-new car, not just the depreciated value.1
- Original Parts Replacement: Replace any damaged parts to your vehicle with parts that meet the highest quality standards.2
- Gap Insurance Coverage: helps pay the difference between what's owed on a vehicle loan and the actual value of it, if it's stolen or a total loss.
