Just had my renewal through due 23/1 gone up by £70 for no reason.

Will have to do the ring round again.

Comparison sites are useless for Porsche insurance.

My insurance on my c2 996 is £467 fully comp. No cons, points, but 8 years no claims. (is limited millage tho).... 4500 yearly as i dont drive her that much.

Renewal's coming up soon. 23, Admiral, fc, £598.90.

Interestingly changing the car to a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa pushes the lowest premium available up to £881.70

Does anyone know why Direct Line rate Targas so much higher than Coupes and Cabriolets? For example, online quotes with identical information:

4S COUPE (06-08) £275.60
4S TARGA (06-08) £390.08
4S CABRIO (06-08) £275.60

I can't beleive the Cabrio is rated identically to the Coupe but the Targa is over 40% more expensive!

Any suggestions?

[Little Dave]

I am looking to insure a 964RS-NGT. I have phoned a few of the listed numbers but they don't give me much confidence as to their understanding of what they are insuring.

Can anybody suggest a good specialist insurer?

Less of them, so harder to replace?

Possibly but More Than and Bell Direct from Admiral rate Coupe/Cab/Targa exactly the same.

Do insurance companies seriously replace cars like for like? Don't they look up the market value and then offer you 65% in cash?

Recommend Bridle. Great package on a 1985 911,£380 inc' breakdown cover and agreed valuation

Just bought my first Porsche (2006 997 C4S) and was dreading the insurance, however it's costing me less than my 3.0 Audi A6.
Tried several but best by far was Admiral multi car.
I pay £360 for the Porsche and £220 for the wife's Beetle. Bringing the cost down is that I'm 49 and live in the sticks, however I only have 1 years NCB after living overseas for a few years.

Lying in bed with Norovirus was the ideal time to kill 4 hours chasing insurance. All the price comparison sites, all the well known names and all the specialists mentioned at the start of this trail but glad to announce a RESULT!!

Car Porsche Cayenne S Petrol
Me 35yrs old, company car driver for last 6 years, 3 points, 3 claims in last 5 years, 1 non-fault, 2 bird/stationary object "fault claims". Not squeaky clean.
Wife 32 yrs old, company car driver for 1 year, Kiwi, no claims or points. Miss Goody2shoes (except for a load of parking fines)

Bridle £1800, Mayfair £1600, Tesco £2000, Best from price comparison sites £1000 with £3000 excess

And the winner...Admiral £719 plus £750 Excess inc European etc etc

Worth the time and proof that there is absolutely no shortcut to getting a deal. Price comparison sites just give you a benchmark and where to avoid. good luck

Admiral have just thrown a strop about renewing the 911 on their multicar policy (silly renewal quote) so I've just got a quote from Porsche insurance for a 997.2 C2S - £380. That's about rate competitive with other quotes but does rather usefully include 2 track days (obviously, as long as you let them know in advance). That makes them pretty good in my book…

[StuB]

Just renewed again with Bridle £591 inc.

Comprehensive, £500xs, modified 911 Turbo, 5 trackdays included (2 European), protected NCB, Wife & self named drivers.

[doneitnow]

The biggest problem with Bridle and quite a few others I have spoken to is that they will not cover a Porsche valued above £40k unless it has a tracker.

[s3nick]

Pace ward are great.

Chat to Johnathon Wright.

Epsecially good with modifications!

Thanks will give them a call on Monday, do they include track day cover by any chance?

[s3nick]

I think it's between £80 to £100 per track day. You arrange it in advance.

Just tell him nick with the 997 turbo sent you and he should sort you out.

Irrespective of which company you use, it is advisable to confirm that you have the option of taking your prize Pork to a repairer OF YOUR CHOICE WITHOUT PENALTY, i.e a OPC, otherwise you will be forced upon an "under the arches" setup using spurious parts in the event of a claim.

Hardly good for maintaining residuals....
