Why are Bentleys so expensive to insure?

Bentleys come equipped with many standard safety features, which helps with insurance costs. This ultimate in luxury car is also rarely stolen, another factor that insurance companies like to see. But with the astronomical purchase price of a Bentley, you’re still looking at a hefty insurance premium.

You’ll find that just like this car is difficult for most drivers to get, finding coverage also can be difficult. A few big-name providers will insure a Bentley, but you may need to look into specialty luxury insurers of exotic vehicles and sports cars.

Bentley insurance pros and cons

About the Bentley brand

Founded by W.O. Bentley in London in 1919, Bentley Motors was later acquired by Rolls-Royce in the 1930s, and eventually became part of Volkswagen Group in the 1990s. The Volkswagen Group also sells cars and motorcycles under such luxury brand names as Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ducati.

The Bentley Continental was the first car manufactured under Volkswagen management back in 2003 and also the first Bentley to be mass-produced. As of July 2018, only four Bentley models are in production: the Continental, Bentayga, Flying Spur and Mulsanne.

Although now owned by a German automaker, Bentley’s headquarters remain in England, where they continue their tradition of creating some of the world’s most desirable high performance automobiles.

Are there any standout Bentley models?

Bentley released a plug-in hybrid version of its luxury SUV, the Bentayga. It features a V6 engine and hybrid powertrain designed around entirely new Bentley technology. But just like other Bentley models, it is build by hand at the Crewe, England, Bentley factory. The Bentayga Hybrid was released in 2019.

What’s the Bentley x Starck Power Dock?

Bentley enlisted creator Philippe Starck to create the Bentley x Starck Power Dock, an elegant recharging unit for the Bentayga Hybrid. The power dock stores the charging cable and allow drivers to plug in and recharge their Bentayga Hybrid at home. The design is not only beautiful, it is also eco-friendly — the Bentley x Starck Power Dock is made using sustainable materials.
