How to compare car insurance for a Lotus

The price to insure your Lotus will vary depending on the type and number of coverage you want in your policy. You should consider higher maximum limits and comprehensive coverage for your Lotus to fully protect it.

Not every insurance company sells specialty/high-end car insurance. It takes a high-end provider to be willing to underwrite your Lotus. You’ll find a few big-name providers that offer coverage, but you may need to look into specialty insurers of exotic vehicles and sports cars.

Why is Lotus insurance so expensive?

Lotuses are some of the most expensive vehicles to insure. A Lotus’ high price tag means pricey car insurance. The fact that it’s a sports car can also negatively affect insurance costs — insurance companies make certain assumptions about the driving habits of sports car owners.

Are there any standout Lotus models?

The fastest — and most expensive — Lotus to date is the 3-Eleven 430. It reaches 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, propelled by a 3.5 liter V6 engine that produces 430 hp and 440 Nm. And the 3-Eleven’s lightweight carbon-composite body and low-inertia flywheel help this speedster to reach a top speed of 180 mph.
