Infiniti Insurance
Tailored insurance for Japanese performance and luxury vehicles
When you own an Infiniti, you’re driving a vehicle that perfectly blends Japanese engineering excellence with luxury refinement and performance innovation. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand the unique characteristics that make Infiniti vehicles special, and we’re here to source the tailored cover your premium Japanese car deserves.
Whether you drive a powerful Q50 Red Sport, the luxurious QX80, the track-bred Q60, or any model from Infiniti’s distinguished lineup, our experienced team has the knowledge and tailored insurer relationships to secure protection for your prized vehicle.
What makes Infiniti vehicles unique to insure?
Infiniti represents Nissan’s luxury division, bringing together cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and performance-focused engineering. Many Infiniti models feature advanced systems like Direct Adaptive Steering, Variable Compression Turbo engines, and sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems that require tailored understanding from insurers.
The brand’s focus on performance luxury means many models appeal to enthusiasts who may modify their vehicles or use them for track days. From the twin-turbo V6 in the Q50 Red Sport to the naturally aspirated V8 in the QX80, these vehicles often require more nuanced coverage than standard family cars.
Additionally, some Infiniti models are imported from Japan or other markets, creating additional complexity around parts availability, valuations, and repair specifications that tailored insurers are better equipped to handle.
What Infiniti models can we insure?
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete range of Infiniti vehicles, from current production models to rare imports and discontinued classics. Whether you own a practical family SUV or a performance sedan, we have the expertise to arrange appropriate cover.
Current Production Models
- Q50 Series – Including the high-performance Red Sport 400 variant with its twin-turbo V6 engine, these performance sedans require cover that reflects their sporting capabilities and enthusiast appeal.
- Q60 Series – The sleek coupe variants, particularly the Red Sport models, often attract modifications and track use, requiring flexible policies that can accommodate enthusiast ownership.
- QX50 – This compact luxury SUV, with its innovative Variable Compression Turbo engine, represents cutting-edge technology that is tailored to help insurers better understand.
- QX60 – The family-focused three-row SUV benefits from comprehensive cover that protects both the vehicle and its precious cargo.
- QX80 – The flagship luxury SUV with its powerful V8 engine requires cover appropriate for its premium positioning and substantial value.
Japanese Imports and Rare Models
For owners of imported Infiniti models, including JDM variants or models not officially sold in the UK, we understand the unique challenges around parts availability, valuations, and repair requirements. Our import vehicle insurance team can arrange appropriate cover.
Performance and Modified Vehicles
Many Infiniti owners are enthusiasts who appreciate the brand’s performance heritage. Whether your vehicle features factory performance packages or aftermarket modifications, our modified car insurance expertise ensures proper coverage.
What factors influence your Infiniti vehicle insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring an Infiniti:
- Model and Variant – Performance models like Red Sport variants typically cost more to insure than base models
- Driver Profile – Age, driving history, and location significantly influence premiums
- Vehicle Usage – Daily commuting versus weekend pleasure use affects risk assessment
- Security Features – Infiniti’s advanced security systems can help reduce premiums
- Storage Location – Secure garage storage typically results in lower premiums
- Annual Mileage – Lower mileage often qualifies for reduced rates
- Modifications – Any performance or aesthetic modifications must be declared and will affect pricing
Performance Model Considerations
Infiniti’s Red Sport models, with their twin-turbo engines and sport-tuned suspensions, are designed for performance enthusiasts. Insurers recognise this and may adjust premiums accordingly, but tailored policies often offer more reasonable rates by understanding the responsible nature of most enthusiast owners.
Import Vehicle Factors
For imported Infiniti models, additional considerations include parts availability, repair complexity, and accurate valuation methods. Our insurers ensure these factors are properly addressed in your cover.
What coverage options are available for your Infiniti?
Our policies can be tailored to include a wide range of cover options designed specifically for premium Japanese vehicles.
Core Cover Elements
- Comprehensive Physical Damage, Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and other perils. Given Infiniti’s premium positioning and advanced technology, comprehensive cover is typically recommended.
- Third Party Liability – Mandatory cover protecting you against claims from other parties. We recommend adequate limits reflecting the performance capabilities of many Infiniti models.
- Agreed Value Protection – Particularly important for rare imports, modified vehicles, or appreciating models where standard valuation methods may not reflect true worth.
Optional Enhancements
- Track Day Cover – For owners who participate in track events or performance driving experiences, we can arrange cover extensions subject to specific terms and conditions.
- Modified Vehicle Cover – Protection for performance modifications, aesthetic enhancements, or imported components.
- Key and Technology Protection – Cover for expensive key fobs, advanced infotainment systems, and other high-tech components that can be costly to replace.
