High Risk Driver Insurance

There are a number of reasons a driver could be deemed high risk. It could be that you’ve received a driving conviction, you have points on your licence, you’ve had a number of claims on your insurance, or simply, you own a high performance or high-value car. Fortunately, Keith Michaels specialises in high-risk car insurance for all manner of situations such as these.

High Performance & High Value Car Insurance

Many mainstream insurers will bump up your performance or high value car’s premiums, purely because there is a perceived greater risk of driving one. No matter if you’ve got a hot hatch with bumped up BHP, a prestige supercar, or a high value classic, they’re likely to be classified as high risk. We provide specialist insurance for:

We work with the UK’s leading high value car insurance providers to get you a competitive quote that takes more than numbers on paper into account.

High Risk Car Insurance FAQs

Who is high risk car insurance for?

High risk car insurance is suitable for drivers with:

  • A driving conviction
  • Points on their licence
  • Previous claims
  • An ongoing claim
  • A high performance car
  • A high value vehicle

You can also be deemed a high risk driver if you have a high risk job, live in a high risk area, have an unusual car, or have a car that is easier to steal because of easily compromised security.

What counts as a performance car?

The definition of a performance car is “a car with high performance; a fast or powerful car.” However, insurance companies don’t have a strict definition for what a performance car actually is, instead they use a combination of metrics to assess the risk of insuring them. From hot hatches like the Ford Focus RS to supercars like the Lamborghini Huracán, they’re each considered a performance car in an insurer’s eyes.

How can I lower my high risk insurance premium?

This totally depends on the reason why your situation is considered ‘high risk’. If it’s down to points on your licence or a driving disqualification, attending driver awareness or rehabilitation courses and taking an advanced driving course can help lower premiums.

If you own a high value vehicle, discounts can be applied for enhanced vehicle security, secure parking and limited mileage. We also offer owners club discounts.

Ultimately, if you’re deemed a high risk driver, reaching out to a specialist car insurance broker is the best way to save money on your insurance premium.

What counts as a high value car?

Treasured classic cars, supercars and hypercars often require a higher level of cover than standard cars because of their high value.

Generally, we would classify a car as high value if it’s worth £75,000 and above.
