My quote from Locktons was over £800.00! My current premium is £325.00 with a small excess. Who are the guys that do the "official" Porsche insurance when you buy from an OPC? Was that through Aviva?ORIGINAL: MrDemon I pay about £250for 40k value, but might have to up the value a bit again... The issue is most companies have 40k limits for the cheaper prices, state over 40k and the price jumps up loads.
+1 Just renewed and didn't bother shopping around this year as the price is so good!
Mine is Admiral but the paperwork says Boxster S, I confirmed it was a Spyder with them but never managed to get it changed. Does yours list as Boxster Spyder ?, could be they just didn't have it sorted when I first signed up.
Unless admiral have changed their policy, they require factory extras or modifications as they call them for quote purposes but they DO NOT insure them for replacement. They deal in basic car only. Of course it may have changed but is one of the reasons I don't use them. The clause is buried in the modification small print. Sainsburys came out top for me last year. £152 with £500xs. Protected 12 years NCB, garaged with 5k mileage limit on social and commute cover.
I tried Locktons ..but sadly where way to expensive .Went with Aviva again .and they have Porsche approved repairer on their list . I took one of those Multi policies the Spyder was approx. £230 protected NCB excess £500 I believe the excess is the same on all Porsches and the like
On the Spyder arguably this is less relevant, as the "standard" car appears to be the more valuable (e.g. Spyder wheels and buckets). They also allow themselves to use second hand parts to repair your car if it's over three years old, and won't cover the cost of an OEM windscreen (they'll fit a pattern part which will invalidate your Porsche warranty). It is certainly cheap cover, but it's worth bearing the possible additional "costs" in mind.
Annoying that at least one of their possible purchase options isn't actually a Spyder in the picture (and that the feature picture doesn't include the Spyder wheels. But still, this sort of publicity is great!ORIGINAL: zyp EvO article (apologies for the piss poor quality)

Some of that is true! Insurers will always try and pressure you into using their "approved body shops" which can be cheap and poor quality. They can't force you to use them though even they try and imply they can. An insurer can't make a repair to your car that will invalidate your warranty. I've had experience of this when someone reversed into my parked M3 only 3 days after buying it [
] There are actually EU laws stating this and although I can't remember them now I did quote them to my insurer at the time of the incident.
] Needless to say I moved onto another insurer? What else could they add/you add to the list?
