Years' Experience

Saab's distinctive approach to car manufacturing, with its roots in aviation technology, created vehicles that were genuinely different from their contemporaries. From the iconic wraparound windscreen of the 99 to the innovative safety cage construction, Saab consistently prioritised safety and innovation over conventional design.

This Swedish philosophy extended to features like the ignition key positioned between the front seats, turbocharging technology that became a Saab signature, and the distinctive "Saab sound" that enthusiasts recognise instantly. These unique characteristics mean that Saab vehicles often require specialist understanding from both repairers and insurers.

With Saab production having ceased in 2012, finding appropriate parts and specialist knowledge becomes increasingly important. Our specialist insurers understand these challenges and can provide coverage that reflects the realities of owning these distinctive Swedish automobiles.

The Need

Why do Saab vehicles need specialist coverage?

Standard motor insurance providers often struggle to understand the unique aspects of Saab ownership. The discontinuation of the brand in 2012 means that replacement parts can be challenging to source, and specialist knowledge is required for proper repairs and maintenance.

Parts Availability and Costs

With Saab no longer in production, genuine parts availability varies significantly between models and components. Some parts remain readily available through specialist suppliers, while others may require sourcing from salvage yards or aftermarket manufacturers. Our specialist insurers understand these complexities and can arrange appropriate coverage.

Specialist Repair Knowledge

Saab's unique engineering solutions, from their distinctive engine mounting systems to their innovative safety features, require specialist knowledge for proper repair. Our approved repairer network includes specialists familiar with Saab vehicles and their particular requirements.

Agreed Value Protection

Many Saab models, particularly the classic 900 Turbo and rare variants like the Aero models, are appreciating in value as enthusiasts recognise their significance in automotive history. Our agreed value policies ensure that your Saab is covered for its true worth rather than a depreciated book value.
