What Type of Insurance Do You Need for Your Chevy Corvette? 

Some types of car insurance coverage are optional, while others will require a minimum amount purchased depending on the state you live in. In addition, most insurance companies will consider the Chevy Corvette a sports car, and you may be required to purchase sports car insurance. Your independent agent can make sure you have the proper coverage.

The following coverages are usually mandated:

• Bodily injury liability: If a third party sustains injuries as a result of an accident it's covered by bodily injury liability insurance. As the at-fault driver, you're responsible to pay for accident-related medical expenses and lost wages which this policy handles.
• Property damage liability: This pays to replace or repair vehicles and structures that are damaged in an accident where you or someone who is authorized is driving your vehicle.
• Medical payments/Personal injury protection: If you're injured in an accident, your medical payments or personal injury protection (PIP) coverage will pay some of the medical bills that are associated with the accident. 
• Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage: Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays for damage to your vehicle if the other party involved does not have enough insurance coverage. 

Optional coverage 

• Collision: If you collide with another vehicle or object that causes damage to your own vehicle, you'll be responsible for the costs. Collision insurance pays the cost to repair or replace your vehicle. 
• Comprehensive: Your Corvette is at risk even when it's parked in the street. Vandalism, theft, falling objects, and Mother Nature can all cause unexpected damage to your vehicle. For these incidents, comprehensive coverage helps pay to repair the damage.
• Glass coverage: Most windshield replacements are not worth going through your insurance, but can still cost several hundred dollars. Glass coverage is an endorsement that's inexpensive and has no deductible for any glass repairs or full replacement.
• Gap insurance: If you are financing or leasing your Chevy Corvette, then you will want to consider purchasing gap coverage. This insurance is an endorsement that you add to your policy that pays the difference between your car's value and the amount owed to the financing company if you're involved in a total loss accident. 

What Factors Affect the Cost of Insurance for Your Chevy Corvette?

Annual mileage

The average American drives between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per year. Being above or below this number can impact the cost of your premium.

Driving record 

Even one violation can negatively impact your rates. An independent insurance agent can help you shop for affordable insurance premiums even if you have violations on your record. 

The value of your car 

A brand-new Chevy Corvette ranges from $58,900 - $77,850, and models from the previous two years are worth even more than that. That's an expensive price tag, which means you'll need sufficient insurance to cover the possibility of fully replacing your vehicle. If you're willing to purchase an older model, it could save you a few bucks on insurance. 

The safety of your Chevy Corvette

The safety of your Chevy Corvette will play a major factor in the cost of your insurance premiums. Unfortunately, the Chevy Corvette has not been rated by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it has a reputation for being a dangerous vehicle. The good news is that Chevy has implemented a few safety features that insurance companies appreciate.

• Front curb view cameras
• Side blind zone alert
• Rear cross-traffic alert
• Advanced theft deterrent package

Where you live with your Chevy Corvette

If you live in a populated city, you're more prone to incidents that will lead to a claim. Increased risks like this and driving on busier roads, encountering traffic, and vandalism can cause insurance premiums to increase.

Average cost to insure a Chevy Corvette

The cost of the Chevy Corvette combined with its dangerous reputation and status as a luxury sports car make the average annual insurance cost $1,864. Those costs could go up or down depending on whether you're a high-risk driver or are willing to take a higher deductible.
