I've tried everywhere over the years but i now insure all my cars apart one exception with NFU..The exception is the one Porsche which i need track cover which NFU strictly exclude.
NFU top quality cover with FOC two year GAP insurance cover included for all cars bought new..Unbeatable on high end cars IME..

Thanks Taffy66, that's really helpful thanks. I'll give them a call in a month and see how they fair price wise too.

Hiscox do the same FOC GAP Insurance as NFU....you need to be the first owner or it has to have less than 150 miles IIRC.

If you want track cover Zurich Private Client give three track days a year

Just a word of caution to anyone speccing the GT Sport steering wheel..I have a 992S Coupe and have a 992S Cabrio arriving next month and i deliberately avoided the GT Steering wheel..My reasoning is simple as i prefer the thinner grip of the standard wheel which give me more feel personally..Another thing about the thicker rimmed GT Steering wheel is that it significantly blocks the view of the dials in the instrument binnacle..The GT wheel is also exactly the same size as the standard wheel unlike th 991 which was smaller .
Something to bear in mind IMO.

Thanks! Too late spec locked down now! Although I tried a Boxster with similar and seemed fine. We shall see!

I use Aviva private clients, really good policy for the money. new 992 with 20,000 business miles per annum, parked on the road for £1,250. Includes return to invoice for three years and no excess on malicious damage etc... £2k excess, but paid £60 for an excess cover policy from a different insurer that negates that.

Had a good look at a 992 cab today...thought the rear of it looked pretty lardy to be honest. The “hump” where the soft top is stored is much higher than on the 991....makes the 991 look svelt.

Never heard of that. So £60 a year will buy you cover that will pay the £2k excess in case of any claim on the main insurance??

Lovely. I’ve gone with PCCBs, black callipers and those wheels too. I think it works well.

I love that spec. The black calipers are marvellous. Much smarter than yellow.

yup, normally works out loads cheaper overall, as the main insurer discounts considerably with a large excess... was a top tip from an insurance agent years ago and its paid dividends.
