944 insurance

[simon clark]

Hi All,

Just wondered if there are any specialised Insurance Companies other than Lancaster?

I'm 26 years old, 5 years NCB, Need business class 1 and cover 20k miles per year.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Simon

about 8 weeks ago I put up a post detailing my experiences in getting insurance for my 968. you'll find it if you use the search function on the forum. the short answer is that there are tens if not hundreds of companies which it really does pay to shop around. in summary:

join the porsche club GB (if not already a member), and sieve through the insurance ads in Porsche Post of which there are hundreds

dont forget the majors. I got quotes from 14 companies by phone, of which 11 were "specialist". however the two cheapest quotes were Tesco and norwich union (online) who beat the best specialist quote by over £100. companies do a push from time to time and offer very good deals. NU were doing this when I applied, they may still be doing so.

Admiral were the cheapest for me. £286 fully comp.

I'm an older git than you at 35, car kept on drive, no imobiliser.

Don't forget that NU can do this because most of their call centre staff have now been 'offshored' to Bangalore and are paid a tiny percentage of their UK brethren.

I have been looking round for 944 S2 insurance and this is the best deal I have found to date which seems quite reasonable.

For a 29 year old with 7 year NCB, 8000m with business use, £6k car value, £300XS, Thatcham catagory 1 alarm/immobiliser fitted (Toad), garaged - £566 from the AA!

I found this quote by searching through an insurance search on www.moneysupermarket.com

I've also tried Tesco, Norwich Union, Directline and Carol Nash but they were all big bucks...
