Specialist high-value cover

Prestige Vehicles

A prestige vehicle isn't just transport - it's an investment, a passion, and often irreplaceable. Standard motor policies rarely value these vehicles correctly or cover their true replacement cost. KIS arranges specialist prestige vehicle insurance with agreed-value cover, so you and your insurer agree up front what the vehicle is worth.

Agreed value

We agree the value of your vehicle up front - no depreciation surprises at claim time.

Classic & collectible

Cover that recognises the provenance and value of classic and collectible cars.

Performance & luxury

Specialist cover for high-performance and luxury vehicles.

Limited use options

Policies structured around how you actually use the vehicle.

Choice of repairer

Options around who repairs your vehicle after a claim.

Lay-up flexibility

Cover that flexes for vehicles that aren't driven year-round.

Why prestige vehicles need specialist cover

Standard motor insurance values vehicles on a market or depreciated basis - fine for a daily runabout, but wrong for a classic, a limited-edition performance car, or a luxury vehicle that holds or increases in value. Agreed-value prestige cover removes that risk: the sum insured is set and agreed, so a total loss pays out what the vehicle is genuinely worth. Prestige car insurance exists because the standard market simply doesn't value these vehicles correctly. A classic that's been restored over thousands of hours, a limited-edition performance car with appreciating value, or a luxury vehicle with bespoke options all need a policy that recognises their true worth. We work with specialist underwriters who understand the prestige market, arrange professional valuations where needed, and set an agreed value so there's no argument at claim time. The result is cover that respects your vehicle for what it actually is - not what a depreciation schedule says it should be.

Cover that fits how you use it

Many prestige vehicles are driven sparingly - to shows, on fine weekends, or for club events. Specialist policies can reflect limited use with more competitive premiums, while still protecting the vehicle when it's on the road, in storage or on a trailer. We tailor the cover to your usage rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all policy. Classic car insurance NZ owners need should reflect that these vehicles often sit in secure storage for much of the year and come out for club runs, shows and fine-weather drives. A policy built for a daily commuter will overcharge you for cover you don't need and may still undervalue the vehicle. We arrange cover that flexes around limited use, includes protection while the vehicle is laid up or on a trailer, and offers choice of repairer so your pride and joy goes to someone who knows how to work on it. It's specialist cover, structured around how you actually enjoy your vehicle.

Protecting an investment and a passion

For many owners, a prestige vehicle is both a passion and a significant financial asset. The right insurance protects both. We help you document provenance, restoration work and modifications so the vehicle's value is properly established and supported, and we arrange cover that responds to the specific risks these vehicles face - from theft and fire to event damage and transit incidents. We also review your cover over time, because the value of classics and collectibles can move significantly, and an agreed value set years ago may no longer reflect what the vehicle is worth today. Whether you own a single classic or a small collection, KIS arranges prestige vehicle insurance that treats your vehicles with the respect - and the correct valuation - they deserve.
