Maserati Insurance
Tailored insurance for Italian excellence
When you own a Maserati, you’re experiencing the perfect fusion of Italian luxury, performance engineering, and distinctive design heritage. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand that your Maserati represents more than just transportation; it’s a statement of style and a celebration of artistry that deserves equally exceptional protection.
Whether you drive a classic Ghibli, the powerful Levante SUV, the track-focused MC20, or any model from Maserati’s distinguished lineup, our experienced team has the tailored knowledge and insurer relationships to secure cover for your Italian masterpiece.
What makes insuring a Maserati unique?
Maserati vehicles combine Italian craftsmanship with high-performance engineering, creating distinctive insurance requirements that standard providers often struggle to understand. From the elegant Quattroporte’s hand-finished interior to the MC20’s carbon fibre construction and Ferrari-derived powertrain, these vehicles demand tailored knowledge and appropriate cover.
The brand’s rich racing heritage, dating back to 1914, has influenced every model in the current lineup. This racing DNA translates into sophisticated engineering, premium materials, and performance capabilities that require tailored assessment for proper insurance coverage.
Maserati’s position in the luxury market means that repairs often require tailored technicians, genuine parts sourced from Italy, and facilities equipped to handle premium Italian vehicles. Our tailored insurers understand these requirements and can source cover that reflects the true cost of Maserati ownership.
What Maserati models can we insure?
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete Maserati range, from current production models through to classic and vintage vehicles that have become increasingly collectable.
Current Production Models
- Maserati MC20 – The brand’s return to supercars features a twin-turbo V6 engine and extensive carbon fibre construction, requiring tailored cover for both road and potential track use.
- Maserati Quattroporte – The flagship luxury saloon combines Italian elegance with performance, featuring hand-crafted interiors and sophisticated engineering.
- Maserati Levante – The luxury SUV brings Maserati’s sporting character to the premium SUV segment, available in various performance configurations.
- Maserati Ghibli – The executive saloon offers Italian flair in the premium business car segment, with both petrol and hybrid powertrains available.
Classic and Heritage Models
For owners of classic Maserati models, including the legendary Bora, Merak, Khamsin, or earlier models like the 3500 GT and Sebring, we understand these vehicles often appreciate and require tailored agreed value cover that reflects their historical significance and collectable status.
Electric and Hybrid Models
With Maserati’s transition towards electrification, including models like the GranTurismo Folgore and hybrid variants across the range, we can arrange cover that accounts for the specific requirements of electric and hybrid powertrains.
What factors influence your Maserati vehicle insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your insurance costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Maserati:
- Vehicle Model and Value – High-performance models like the MC20 command higher premiums than the Ghibli or Levante
- Driver Profile – Age, driving history, and location significantly influence costs. Experience with performance vehicles is valued by insurers
- Usage Patterns – Weekend pleasure driving typically costs less to insure than daily commuting
- Security Measures – Advanced security systems, tracking devices, and secure storage can reduce premiums
- Annual Mileage – Lower mileage often results in reduced premiums as it decreases exposure to risk
- Cover Level – Cover with lower excesses increases overall costs but sources better protection
Storage and Security
Where and how you store your Maserati significantly impacts your premium. Secure garage storage, particularly with additional security measures such as tracking devices, alarms, and immobilisers, demonstrates responsible ownership and can help reduce premiums whilst sourcing better protection for your investment.
Driving Experience and History
Your driving record and experience with performance vehicles play a crucial role in determining your premium. Our insurers recognise that Maserati owners are typically experienced drivers who appreciate the responsibility that comes with operating sophisticated Italian performance vehicles.
Modifications and Personalisation
Many Maserati owners enhance their vehicles through official Maserati accessories or aftermarket modifications. These enhancements must be declared and properly covered to ensure your investment in personalisation is protected under your policy.
What coverage options are available for your Maserati?
Our Maserati policies can be tailored to include a wide range of cover options designed specifically for luxury Italian vehicle ownership.
Core Cover Elements
- Comprehensive Physical Damage – Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and other perils that could affect your Maserati. Given the value and tailored nature of these vehicles, comprehensive cover is typically essential.
- Third Party Liability – Mandatory cover that protects you against claims from other parties in the event of an accident. For Maserati owners, we recommend appropriate liability limits given the performance capabilities of these vehicles.
- Agreed Value Protection – For classic, limited edition, or appreciating Maserati models, agreed value cover ensures you receive the full agreed-upon value in the event of a total loss, rather than a potentially inadequate market valuation.
Optional Enhancements
- Track Day Cover – For owners who participate in track events or driving experiences, we can arrange cover that extends protection to circuit use, subject to specific terms and conditions.
- European Cover – If you travel to Europe with your Maserati, we can arrange extended cover to protect your vehicle during continental touring.
- Key and Lock Replacement – Modern Maserati vehicles feature sophisticated security systems, and replacement of keys and security components can be expensive.
- Personal Effects Cover – Protection for personal belongings stored in your vehicle during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Age and experience requirements for Maserati coverage are typically more stringent than standard motor policies, particularly for high-performance models. Most specialist insurers prefer drivers to be at least 25 years old with clean driving records. However, each case is assessed individually, and factors such as advanced driving courses and secure storage can influence eligibility.
While formal qualifications aren’t always required, many insurers prefer owners of high-performance models like the MC20 to have completed advanced driving courses or demonstrate experience with similar vehicles. Some insurers may require specific training as a condition of coverage for the most powerful models.
Standard road policies typically exclude track use, but we can arrange specialist coverage that extends to circuit driving. This requires specific terms and conditions, including approved circuits, safety equipment requirements, and often additional premiums. It’s essential to arrange this coverage before participating in any track events.
With our agreed value policies, you’ll receive the full agreed value of your Maserati minus any applicable excess. This provides certainty and avoids disputes that can arise with market value assessments, particularly important for appreciating classic models.
Yes, we can arrange fleet policies for collectors with multiple vehicles. This often provides cost savings and simplifies administration with a single renewal date and policy document covering your entire collection, whether it includes different Maserati models or vehicles from various manufacturers.
For straightforward cases with experienced drivers and secure storage, we can often arrange quotations within 24 hours and provide immediate cover upon acceptance. More complex situations involving high-performance models, modifications, or unusual circumstances may require additional time for proper assessment.

For agreed value policies on classic or limited edition models, evidence of the vehicle’s value such as purchase receipts, professional valuations, or auction results may be required.
Electric and hybrid Maserati models may have different insurance considerations due to their powertrain technology, but this doesn’t necessarily mean higher premiums.
