A 1964 DB5 and a 2026 Valkyrie don't insure the same way
Aston Martin's catalog runs from hand-built front-engine grand tourers with decades of provenance to a Formula 1-derived hybrid hypercar built in partnership with Red Bull Racing. A numbers-matching classic needs agreed value, spare-parts coverage, and a repair network fluent in vintage English coachwork. A current-production DB12 or Vantage needs OEM parts availability and coverage that doesn't blink at a spirited drive. We write to the car in front of us, not a generic "exotic" rate class.
Aston Martin, era by era
This page covers the Aston Martins most often on our desk. If your car isn't pictured here — a Zagato special, a Q-division commission, a model we haven't added yet — that doesn't mean we can't cover it. Ask us.
The Classics
The front-engine grand tourers that built the marque's reputation
DB5
The definitive Aston Martin silhouette, and among the most recognizable classic cars in the world.
DB9
The car that opened Aston Martin's modern "Gaydon era" and set the template for every DB grand tourer since.
Modern Era
The cars that carried Aston Martin from the DB9 to today's lineup
Vanquish
Aston Martin's flagship grand tourer across two distinct generations, now revived again as the current V12 range-topper.
Current Lineup
In production today
DB12
Billed by Aston Martin as the world's first "Super Tourer" — a 690hp V8 grand tourer and the current DB-line flagship.
Vantage
The sharper-edged sports car end of the current lineup — twin-turbo V8, up to 680PS.
DBX & DBX707
Aston Martin's performance SUV and highest-volume model — underwritten differently than the rest of the lineup. More below.
Valkyrie
A Formula 1-derived hybrid hypercar co-developed with Red Bull Racing — extremely limited, and collector-grade from day one.
Limited Editions & One-Offs
Ultra-limited special series and Q-division bespoke commissions

Valour
Built to mark Aston Martin's 110th anniversary — 110 units, a 5.2L twin-turbo V12, and a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Beyond the models shown here, we also place coverage for Aston Martin's rarest specials and Q Advanced Operations one-offs — cars like the One-77, Vulcan, Victor, and Valhalla — along with earlier classics (DB6, DBS, V8 Vantage, Virage) and Zagato-bodied editions. If it wears the wings badge, we can likely place it.
What published insurance data actually shows
Many of the claims made about exotic car insurance are guesswork. Where real data exists, we'd rather show it to you. The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) — a nonprofit affiliated with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety — publishes collision loss data for vehicle series with enough insured exposure to be statistically meaningful. Results are indexed to 100, representing the average result across all passenger vehicles.
| Vehicle | Relative claim severity | Relative overall losses |
|---|---|---|
| All passenger vehicles (baseline) | 100 | 100 |
| Vantage V8 (2020–22) | 511 | 528 |
| DBX (2021–22) | 374 | 371 |
Source: Highway Loss Data Institute, Insurance Report R-23: Collision Losses, 2020–22 Model Years (April 2023), published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is one of the few marques where real data confirms the underwriting split directly: the Vantage's overall loss result (528) runs meaningfully higher than the DBX's (371), even though both are recent-model-year Aston Martins from the same manufacturer. It's concrete evidence for why the two get written differently — see below. HLDI's reporting threshold (1,000+ insured vehicle years or 100+ claims) means DB12, Vanquish, Valkyrie, and the classics don't have enough claims volume to generate published statistics.
What carriers actually ask before they'll write coverage
Specialty carriers for high-value vehicles don't just price the car — they underwrite the driver. It's common for insurers to want to see prior insurance history on other high-value or high-performance vehicles, a clean driving record, secure storage, and a realistic account of how the car will actually be used before extending coverage, particularly at the Valkyrie/Valour end of the range. This isn't a formality: it's part of why placing this kind of policy correctly, with a carrier that actually understands the car, matters more than chasing the lowest quote.
Some owners showcase their Aston Martin. Others keep it entirely private. Both are covered correctly.
Some owners want their Aston Martin seen — at concours events, Q by Aston Martin client gatherings, dealership showcases. Others prefer the opposite: no public record, no plates or VINs in photos, a car that stays out of sight entirely in private, climate-controlled storage. Both are legitimate ownership styles, and both change what the policy needs to account for. A car that's regularly showcased carries different transit, event, and liability exposure than one kept entirely private. Either way, coverage is built around the real risks these cars actually face — vandalism, wind and hail, theft, and even theft-for-ransom scenarios that specialty carriers are equipped to underwrite around, not just collision damage.

Why the DBX doesn't get the same policy as the rest of the lineup
The DBX and DBX707 are Aston Martin's best-selling models by a wide margin — high-volume, daily-driven, and built to a completely different production scale than the sports car lineup. That's why carriers generally write it as a standard high-value auto policy rather than an agreed-value collector policy, the same way a Lamborghini Urus or Bentley Bentayga is typically underwritten. Meanwhile, the low-production sports cars and grand tourers — Vantage, DB12, Vanquish, and especially the classics, Valkyrie, and Valour — are squarely in collector-grade territory. If your Aston Martin collection includes both, we'll place each vehicle with the type of policy that actually fits it.
An independent brokerage, not a single carrier
We're not captive to one insurance company, and we're not a dealership finance office. That independence is the point: our only job is finding you the right coverage at the right price, then advocating for you if you ever need to use it.
Access to multiple carriers
We shop coverage across a range of specialty and standard carriers instead of pricing everything through one company's rate table, so you see real options instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it quote.
Bundle for a better rate
Combine your Aston Martin with your home, everyday autos, umbrella liability, other collector cars, and — where it applies — your business insurance. Carriers price account relationships, and that often means meaningfully better terms across the board.
Four things a standard policy misses
Agreed value, not depreciated value
The payout is set when you bind coverage — not renegotiated by an adjuster after a total loss.
OEM parts & factory-trained labor
Coverage that pays for genuine parts and Aston Martin-trained technicians, not aftermarket substitutes.
Track day & performance driving
Many exotic policies exclude track use outright. We place coverage that fits how these cars are actually driven.
Collector-grade vs. daily-use exotic
A numbers-matching classic or limited edition needs appraisal-backed value; a current-production car needs usage flexibility; a DBX needs a standard high-value auto policy. The policy should match which one is yours.
