Have you ever fantasized about driving a luxurious sports car? Or maybe you have a strong sense of nostalgia and desire a classic car? Or maybe it’s the opposite: You are looking to buy back your totaled vehicle to fix up and drive rather than a new car?

Driving a special luxury car in Dubai could be a dream come true, but getting insurance for it is a step that is frequently missed. Securing auto insurance for these special vehicles or vehicles with specific concerns may present challenges.

Certain vehicles and situations are unacceptable hazards in the eyes of auto insurance companies. They might even decide not to provide you with insurance coverage at all. 

It’s vital to be aware of these potential red flags and ensure that your vehicle meets the insurer’s criteria to avoid any complications when seeking adequate coverage.

Types of Cars That Can’t be Insured Easily

Custom-Built or Modified Vehicles

Custom-built (or rebuilt) cars are different, and insurance companies don’t want to assume the added risk that comes with such cars. This category includes kit automobiles, replicas, limited-edition vehicles and unregistered street-legal vehicles.

Insurance companies don’t want to insure vehicles that have been significantly modified or altered, especially ones with new suspension systems or lift kits. A car is also more difficult to insure if you add a blower, supercharger, turbocharger, change the engine or gearbox, or install bigger tires. 

High-Performance or Extremely Expensive Supercars

You can quickly go above the maximum value that insurance companies are prepared to insure if you have saved up for an exotic, high-performance, or otherwise extremely expensive supercar. Therefore, before purchasing a very expensive car, be sure to find an insurance provider willing to assume the risk of an extremely high payout.

Most insurance providers only specify a maximum insurable value or a restriction on the kinds of vehicles they will cover. However, some insurers maintain a list of specified automobiles that are either not insurable or will only be covered by liability insurance (without comprehensive or collision coverage). 

Some insurance firms consider the following luxury automakers to be too risky to insure:

• Bugatti
• Lotus
• Maserati
• Maybach
• Panoz
• Spyker

Antique or Classic Cars

Determining the value of antique and classic cars can be quite a challenge, as some experience significant depreciation, while others witness a remarkable increase in their worth over time. Due to this issue, these cars are not covered by typical private passenger coverage. 

You might only be able to purchase liability vehicle insurance if your car is simply old but not particularly valuable. If you own a vintage or antique vehicle, search for agreed-on value insurance with a professional company (just as the name implies, you and the insurer determine the vehicle’s value and insure it for that sum).

Cars Mainly for Exhibitions, Car Shows or Other Events

It can be difficult to obtain insurance if you own a vehicle that you created or rebuilt exclusively for exhibition in parades, car shows, and other events. On the plus side, you should check to see if there is a low-mileage discount because these vehicles often require specialized insurance policies.

Branded or Salvage-Titled Vehicles

Vehicles that have been declared a total loss due to an accident or other circumstances, such as flood damage, may receive a salvage title or another “branded” title, such as junk, total, or flood. If a car can be fixed, you might be able to receive a “rebranded” title that indicates the car has been rebuilt or restored and is ready to be driven again.

Insurance companies dislike branded title automobiles because, even with a rebuilt title, the vehicle’s safety and worth may be in doubt. However, some insurance providers will provide a policy for vehicles with a rebuilt title that just covers liability and excludes comprehensive and collision coverage.

How to Get Insurance for a Unique Car?

There is no cause for immediate concern if your existing vehicle insurance provider denies you coverage. You can likely find your insurance coverage somewhere else. What is considered risky for one company may not be for another. 

You may need to do the following in order to obtain auto insurance for a unique vehicle:

• Get a business policy.
• Incorporate an endorsement into your current policy.
• Choose and purchase from a different auto insurance provider.
• Find a policy with a specialized insurer.
• Change your coverage to something more acceptable

Conclusion

If your vehicle is roadworthy, you can easily register it. And if you compare numerous auto insurance providers, you are likely to find a provider that will work with you. Expand your search if you have been looking at smaller, local organizations or having them cover you because they might not have the kind of insurance you are looking for.
