Genesis Insurance
Tailored insurance for luxury Korean excellence
When you own a Genesis, you’re driving one of the most sophisticated and luxurious vehicles to emerge from South Korea’s renaissance. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand that Genesis represents a new standard in premium motoring, combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional craftsmanship that deserves equally exceptional insurance cover.
Whether you drive the elegant G90 saloon, the dynamic G80, the versatile GV80 SUV, or any model from Genesis’s expanding luxury lineup, our experienced team has the knowledge and tailored insurer relationships to secure protection for your premium vehicle.
What makes Genesis vehicles unique to insure?
Genesis has rapidly established itself as a legitimate luxury brand, competing directly with established German premium manufacturers. The brand’s commitment to quality, technology, and luxury appointments means these vehicles require tailored insurance consideration that standard providers may not fully appreciate.
Genesis models feature advanced safety systems, premium materials, and sophisticated technology packages that can be expensive to repair or replace. The brand’s focus on luxury means that even entry-level Genesis models contain high-end components and materials that require tailored knowledge during repairs.
Additionally, Genesis vehicles often hold their value better than expected for a relatively new luxury brand, particularly limited editions and higher-specification models. This value retention characteristic requires insurers who understand the premium vehicle market rather than treating Genesis as a standard Korean brand.
What Genesis models can we insure?
Our specialist arrangements cover the complete Genesis lineup, from the brand’s performance-oriented saloons to its luxury SUV offerings. Whether you own the latest model or an earlier Genesis vehicle, we have the expertise to arrange the appropriate coverage.

What factors influence your Genesis insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your insurance costs helps you make informed decisions about coverage and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Genesis:
- Model and Specification – Higher-end models like the G90 typically cost more to insure than the G70
- Technology Package – Advanced driver assistance and luxury features can affect repair costs
- Driving Profile – Your age, experience, and driving history significantly impact premiums
- Usage Patterns – Business use, annual mileage, and storage arrangements all influence costs
- Location – Urban areas with higher theft rates or accident frequencies may increase premiums
- Security Features – Advanced anti-theft systems and tracking devices can help reduce costs
Advanced Safety Systems
Many Genesis models feature comprehensive safety systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and autonomous emergency braking. These systems can help reduce insurance premiums by lowering accident risk, though they can be expensive to repair if damaged.
Storage and Security
Secure storage arrangements, particularly for higher-end Genesis models, can significantly impact your premium. Garage storage with additional security measures provides both theft protection and weather protection for your luxury vehicle.
Driving Experience
Your experience with premium vehicles and a clean driving record will influence your premium. Genesis owners typically demonstrate responsible driving patterns that insurers recognise when calculating risk.
What coverage options are available for your Genesis?
Our comprehensive Genesis policies can be tailored to include coverage options specifically designed for luxury vehicle ownership.
Essential Coverage Elements
Comprehensive Physical Damage – Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, weather damage, and other perils. Given the luxury nature and advanced technology in Genesis vehicles, comprehensive coverage is highly recommended.
Enhanced Third Party Liability – Protection against claims from other parties, with higher limits recommended for luxury vehicle owners, given the potential severity of claims.
Gap Coverage – Protection against depreciation, particularly valuable for newer Genesis models where the outstanding finance may exceed the vehicle’s current market value.
Specialist Enhancements
Key and Technology Replacement – Coverage for expensive key fobs, advanced driver assistance system calibration, and sophisticated infotainment system replacement.
