Insurance - who's quoting happy for Porsche at the moment?

[Phooey]

Need to start getting insurance quotes for the GT4. Quick gocompare quote is approx £700+. Low usage - 3k miles per annum. Don't need track day cover. Any ideas who to try?

Cheers

I've used Porsche Insurance Services (Marsh) fOr about 5yrs now.

Not that I use it but they include trackday cover too & guarantee genuine Porsche parts in the event of a repair.

I always use Confused as a search engine. Admiral/Elephant usually come up cheapest but also had Aviva pop up cheap

Cheaper than my 11-year-old 986. Absolutely no logic in car insurance!

I'll give them a blast, cheers.




Itsy - you must be a 55yr old Vicar living in Devon with 35yrs NCB, car kept in a secure vault guarded by armed ex-SAS soldiers, NO previous accidents or convictions, and only using the car on a leap day

So you have met me before but wrong about the leap day
Seriously check out your insurance a month before renewal or collection for best price the closer you get to renewal the price rises.
A month ago my premium would have been in excess of £300 but seems to have dropped ? No idea what my final premium will be until I know when the car is arriving.

Aviva for me

[zimmerman]

Try classic line insurance based at Hinckley.

I had a boxster s on a 'modern classic' policy. 32, male Ina. It city for about £300 for 3k miles per year.

[Get2Jaime]

Just renewed £300 with Admiral, Tracker activated, overnight on drive in Warwickshire.

[S1MMA]

Admiral for me also, no one else can get anywhere near them on both of my cars. 30s, GT3, London.

Been with the Admiral group since 2001, always cheapest for me for some reason.

£800 quoted by NFU,which is very very good for my postcode.

Admiral again. I have their Multicar policy and they have been very helpful. I got a real enthusiast when I rang up to make some changes.

Insurance is a strange game though - cf. TVR Sag is less than my Mini to insure and has been for last two years.

[PR36]

Anyone know who is quoting happy where there Porsche is also modified?

[Phooey]

Ok, here's a strange one.

Admiral rang me today (got my number from the gocompare search I did yesterday) and asked If I was interested in their quote. I said "YES". The woman on the phone ran it through again to check details were correct and asked me if the vehicle had any 'modifications' to which I replied "No, only factory fit options". She asked me to list them all, and when I said it's only things like paint, leather interior, navigation etc etc, she said Admiral still need to know EVERYTHING that's NOT STANDARD. I asked her if she was sure about this as I've never ever been asked to list 'factory-fit' options before and she again said "yes, we need to know everything that doesn't come standard on this car". Apparently, failure to list everything could result in Admiral not paying out or only paying out market value as a standard NO-option's car. After this I said I wasn't interested. I'd rather pay a bit more and insure with a reputable insurer.

I'm not sure whether I got a really dumb advisor or if Admiral are using this clause (?) to get out of paying up?

Anyone here work for Admiral that can confirm this?

Current Cayman insured with Armiral, I was also asked to list all extras which I did. It's a long list.

Not had to claim so don't know what sort of hassle it would be.

They come up cheapest for the GT4 but no track day cover so will be gong with someone else for it.

Imagine having to claim and being told "Sorry Sir, your insurance is VOID as you did not declare your car had metallic paint"! fk that for a game of chance!

Going through the motions myself at the mo - renewal from Aviva is 25% higher than last year's premiums with no change to the risk factor. (M3 and Exige on multi car)

Hastings Premium are giving some good prices, but I'm not sure how good they are.

AIB are worth a call - whilst they were more expensive than most the policy looks very good - insured by Hiscox.
