Movies have given us some of the most memorable cars that have become icons in their own right. From the sleek Aston Martin in James Bond to the time-travelling DeLorean in ‘Back to the Future’, these cars have captured our imaginations. But what if you owned 1 of these legendary cars? How would you insure it? King Price has some insurance insights to share with you if we could insure these cars…
Aston Martin DB5: James Bond’s trusty steed
The Aston Martin DB5 is synonymous with James Bond. This elegant car, equipped with all sorts of gadgets, has been featured in several Bond films. If you were to own such a classic car, comprehensive car insurance would be essential to protect against theft, damage, and even those unexpected spy missions!
The DeLorean DMC-12: Back to the Future’s time machine
Who can forget the DeLorean DMC-12 from ‘Back to the Future’? This isn’t just a car; it’s a time machine! While we can’t promise time travel, insurance might ensure that your DeLorean is covered for all eventualities, including those rare parts that might be hard to find.
The Batmobile: Batman’s ultimate ride
The Batmobile has seen many iterations, but it’s always been a symbol of power and innovation. Insuring a Batmobile would require a policy that covers custom modifications and high-performance parts.
The Ford Mustang GT 390: Bullitt’s chase car
Steve McQueen’s Ford Mustang GT 390 in ‘Bullitt’ is 1 of the most iconic chase cars in cinema history. For such a speedy car, you’d need insurance that covers both the car’s value and its speediness.
The Mini Cooper: The Italian Job’s getaway car
The Mini Cooper from ‘The Italian Job’ is a small car with a big reputation. Its agility and pace made it perfect for those thrilling getaway scenes. Insuring a Mini Cooper in South Africa would be straightforward with King Price, offering affordable premiums and excellent cover. But we’d never insure any stolen gold!
The Dodge Charger: Fast & Furious’s muscle car
Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger in the ‘Fast & Furious’ series is a beast of a car. Muscle cars like this require specialised insurance to cover their powerful engines and custom modifications. Remember to get insurance for the whole family!
Herbie: The Love Bug’s sentient beetle
Beep, beep! Herbie, the sentient Volkswagen Beetle from ‘The Love Bug’, is a beloved character in its own right. Insuring a classic car like Herbie would involve cover for vintage parts and potential restoration costs.
The Ecto-1: Ghostbusters’ Paranormal Pursuit van
The Ecto-1 from ‘Ghostbusters’ is a converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor. This unique van would need a specialised insurance policy to cover its vintage status and any custom modifications (and there are many). We definitely wouldn’t be able to insure any ectoplasm accessories.
Bumblebee: Transformers’ shape-shifting Camaro
Bumblebee, the shape-shifting Camaro from ‘Transformers’, is more than meets the eye. While we can’t insure a transforming robot (how cool would that be?), King Price could cover a Camaro, ensuring it stays in top condition.
KITT: Knight Rider’s AI-Enhanced Car
KITT from ‘Knight Rider’ is an AI-enhanced car with advanced technology. Insuring a car with these modifications would require a policy that covers both the car and its intelligent tech.
Owning an iconic movie car is a dream for many, but insuring it doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
