How do I compare insurance for the Maserati Ghibli?

The Maserati Ghibli claims to combine “dynamic speed” and “ultimate refinement.” It’s an Italian car meant for winding roads and a smooth ride. Here’s what to keep in mind when shopping for insurance:

• Body type. It’s a mid-size sedan, which can be less expensive to insure than coupes. But since this is a luxury car it probably won’t make much of a difference.
• Fuel. The Ghibli is gasoline powered, with a 17 mpg city rating and a 24 mpg highway rating.
• Maintenance. Maserati recommends only servicing your Ghibli with genuine Maserati Parts, taking it to one of its dealerships for help. Parts and labor are likely to be more expensive, since it’s a specialty foreign car.
• Coverage. Regular insurance may not be enough to cover the value of your Ghibli. Since it’s more expensive than your average car, you may need to work with an agency that offers luxury coverage.
• Warranty. Maserati’s New Car Limited Warranty lasts for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. And it includes roadside assistance, transferring your car to a dealership 24/7 when necessary — so no worries about purchasing that separately.
• Theft rates. Since these cars are pretty flashy, the theft rate is relatively low. This may help reduce insurance rates, but only by a fraction.

Does the Maserati Ghibli qualify for discounts?

The Maserati Ghibli is suave, exotic, and quintessentially Italian. It also comes equipped with decent safety features, including:

Why is insurance so high for the Maserati Ghibli?

The Maserati Ghibli costs more to insure because it’s a luxury vehicle requiring genuine Maserati parts and a specialized dealership. Also, specialty foreign cars require a more complicated process for servicing, adding to its already high repair costs.

How reliable is the Maserati Ghibli?

While the Maserati has a sleek design and a romantic Italian reputation, its record for reliability and model recalls are less than stellar.

• Safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Ghibli a “good” rating for crashworthiness, which measures its ability to hold up in a crash. Its crash avoidance and mitigation was categorized as “basic.”
• Reliability. There’s no huge complaints about the Ghibli’s reliability, but it’s also not a shining star of perfection. Like any luxury car with bespoke engineering, regular maintenance is key to ensuring a dependable performance.
• Recalls. In 2018, Maserati issued recalls on certain Ghiblis due to two issues: an incomplete weld on the front sub-frame, and a possible leaky fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment. Because these defects pose a considerable risk to the driver, Maserati offered free service and repair to affected vehicles.

Bottom line

While insuring a Maserati Ghibli will be pricey, high rates should be offset somewhat by the Ghibli missing the “supercar” classification. Be sure to shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Frequently asked questions

• Who should I contact if I think my vehicle might be a part of the recall?

  Call Maserati’s customer service at 877-696-2737. They can help determine if your car is one of the faulty vehicles, and will direct you towards a repair shop.

• What kind of engine does the Maserati Ghibli have?

  It’s got a V6 Turbo 3.0 Liter engine with 424 horsepower.

• What is Maserati's Pre-Paid Scheduled Maintenance Program?

  If you buy this program from Maserati dealerships, you get three primary checkpoints: 24 months or 25,000 miles, 36 months or 37,500 miles, and 48 months or 50,000 miles. It covers labor required for checking and replacing parts indicated by the standard Maintenance Schedule.

• What's the most expensive Maserati to insure?

  Insurance rates vary widely depending on a multitude of factors. But compared to other Maserati cars, its GT Convertible is likely the most expensive because it’s got the highest MSRP of $150,980. Plus, convertible coverage tends to be pricier in general, because they’re easier to break into than fixed-roof vehicles.
