SPECIALIST TAILORED INSURANCE
Car Insurance for Sports Professionals
Car insurance for sports professionals tailored to your lifestyle. Fair, flexible cover with expert advice from Nowell & Richards since 1976.
Professional Sportsperson Car Insurance
As a professional athlete, your car plays a vital role in your daily routine – getting you to training, matches, and events. No matter your sport, it’s essential to have the right car insurance that fits your lifestyle and offers the protection you need at a fair price.
Unfortunately, many standard insurers view sports professionals as high-risk drivers, making it difficult to find affordable, comprehensive cover. To understand the factors that influence these rates, read our article on why sports professionals pay more for their car insurance. At Nowell & Richards, we take a different approach.
We understand that being a professional sportsperson doesn’t make you a risky driver. That’s why we offer tailored car insurance policies that reflect your actual driving habits and needs – not assumptions.
Since 1976, we’ve worked discreetly with a wide range of high-profile athletes, including Premier League footballers, golfers, cricketers, racing drivers, boxers, Olympians, and more. Our experience allows us to deliver expert advice and bespoke cover that fits your profession and lifestyle.
Let us handle your insurance, so you can stay focused on your sport. We’ll build a policy that protects your vehicle, your time, and your peace of mind.
