My insurance is up for renewal in a few weeks time.
The car is a 56 plate 987 2.7L, I'll be 31, full no claims (around 9 years I think) no points/convictions etc. and I currently pay £570 with guaranteed protected no claims through Frizzell.
Last year they beat everyone by a country mile. Confused suggests that will still be the case. Certainly last year all the specialist insurers were around the £1000-1300 mark
I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

Well me renewal came through and it's good news and bad news.
The bad news is the buggers have put it up by around £100 despite never having heard from me since I took out the policy, so the renewal is £670.
The good news is they still seem to be the cheapest going off the various online quote sites.
Given what I said about age, the car, it being parked on a non-gated drive etc. I still think that's about as good as it's likely to get?

Recent experience.... I phone my previous (unamed) insurance company who sent me an excessive renewal notice. I tell them I can get cheaper elsewhere (and they can't match it) and so I tell them I don't want to continue the insurance with them. I go on holiday and return to find they still have made the claim for the premium via my credit card and now it is up to me to recover the 'stolen' amount........ t0$$er$!
Try Direct Line. I know ive moaned about their customer service in the past but theyve just given me a renewal price of £995 for a 993 Targa. Thats with 9yrs NCD, protected NCD, one fault claim, 8 points for speeding, living in central London, girlfriend on policy, 6 points for speeding on her licence, and I get free legal cover and all the other usual carrots that they dangle at you, girlfriend earns a NCD on my policy. Closest a 'specialist' got was £1700.
If you ever need to make a claim, remember that their customer service dept is staffed by baboons and also be prepared for 3 months of arguing. If you can live with that, then the discount is well worth it.

Elephant have more or less doubled the renewal on my 986 insurance despite and unblemished record and moving from gun ridden clapham to what i thought was a nice small village in the north west - i've asked them to cancel.
Having said that all other insurers including a-plan were quoting around the elephant renewal price apart from.... Adrian Flux who quoted similar to what i paid last year.
Insurance is a nice easy license to print money and it irks me that there's little or no rationale behind it and furthermore they're not answerable to anyone. Very frustrating that they can charge whatever they like seeing as it's a lega requirement.

Interesting, I've got the GT3 with Elephant & had heard similar tales from others. My quote 1st time round was miles below anyone else, so was expecting a big hike come renewal time. Just had my 2nd renewal through & barely a change from the original quote 2 years ago??Having said that all other insurers including a-plan were quoting around the elephant renewal price apart from....
