A lot of auto insurance companies offer a sizeable discount if you belong to a recognized national sports car club. This can also extend to employee associations and labor organizations. Even holding a credit card issued by certain banks or finance companies can qualify you for discounts. Check it out.

3. Discounts, discounts
Talking of discounts, check with your current auto insurance company to see if you are eligible for discounts such as low mileage, defensive driving courses and any safety features you car might have like air bags and anti theft devices.

4. Multiple insurance policies
If you have any other form of insurance such as home owners, medical, life, or renter's insurance, check to see if the companies you are insured with also offer auto insurance. By grouping all your insurances with one company you could make substantial savings overall.

Cheaper auto insurance for sports car owners can be found if you are prepared to carry out some research and trawl the net for numerous quotes. But whatever you do, your premium will never be as low as for a small sedan.

Of course, you could always sell your sports car....... Naaaa!
