What a coupe means for your insurance

Coupes and sporty two-doors are typically pricier to insure than an equivalent hatchback or sedan. Higher performance, desirability to thieves and costlier repairs all push the premium up, and younger drivers of powerful coupes often face an additional loading. A tracker is usually expected, and secure overnight parking helps. If the car is modified in any way — exhaust, suspension, wheels or a remap — declare it, as undeclared performance modifications can affect the whole claim.

Which cover is right for a Ford Mustang?

If your Mustang is newer or financed, comprehensive cover is usually recommended and is often required by your bank. For an older, lower-value Mustang, third-party, fire & theft or third-party only cover may be enough.
