Lamborghini car insurance cost

Lamborghinis are often cited as the height of indulgence in car form. If you’re looking to join the ranks of celebrities who drive these luxury Italian sports cars, read on to see how much it could cost to insure one.

What insurance group is a Lamborghini?

The insurance group that your Lamborghini falls into will very much depend on the model you own. You may find slight variations on the insurance group rating based on your version but most of the popular models, unfortunately, fall into the highest insurance group:

Lamborghini Huracan: Insurance group 50

Lamborghini Aventador: Insurance group 50

Lamborghini Gallardo: Insurance group 50

How much is insurance on a Lamborghini?

A Lamborghini will of course set you back a small fortune, and covering it will be much the same story.

The insurance cost for a Lamborghini varies greatly depending on the model you select and your own circumstances. But we ran quotes using a specific profile in order to insure a Lamborghini Huracan, one of the best-selling models from the luxury marque, and found the average cost to be £7,850 a year or £600 a month. This is for fully comprehensive cover and no optional extras. Your actual cost could be more or less depending on the Lamborghini model you purchase, your age and driving record, the number of miles you drive in a year, and the likelihood of it being stolen, among other factors.

Some of the other variables that affect the price of insurance include your age and your location, as well as the year, model and trim package of your Lamborghini.

A Lamborghini’s high price tag, as well as its appeal to thieves, tends to result in extremely pricey car insurance.

How does a Lamborghini affect insurance costs

Lamborghinis are not only expensive to purchase, they are also expensive to insure. Their big price tag means they are also costly to repair or replace, which increases the cost of insurance. And because this is such a high-end car, Lamborghini owners will likely opt for comprehensive cover, which could also mean an increase to insurance costs.

The fact that it’s a sports car can also mean hikes in insurance costs — insurance companies make certain assumptions about the driving habits of sports car owners, based on industry data. It won’t help that criminals are more likely to take a shine to your Lamborghini, either.

How does the model affect insurance costs?

Usually, the more expensive the model is, the more you’re likely to pay in insurance premiums. This is down to the amount it costs to either repair or replace. As with the models we mentioned above, insurers place most Lamborghinis firmly in the higher insurance groups ratings.

Other areas that insurers review when calculating the cost of your car cover include the car’s safety rating and how likely it is to be targeted by thieves.

Are there any standout models?

Some might argue that any Lamborghini model is a standout model. But the Few-Off models are the most exclusive, limited editions, only available to a select number of clients. Lamborghini states that “Few-Off models express the highest Lamborghini spirit in every respect.” The current lineup of Few-Off models includes the Centenario Roadster, the Centenario and the Veneno Roadster.
