Insurance Boxster

[Black80XSA]

Insurance should put you back in a similar position to which you were befaore any claim.

Declare factory fitted options - soem companies say OK if its on the original invoice, other call them modifications and load the premium accordingly.

DirectLine insist on a tracking device, but the savings on the premium aren't enough to justify installation and sucbscrition.

As always, shop around, be honest and read the small print !

Just got a quote from AIG Direct of £1470 - who are they kidding?!

Try A.Manning - they have bespoke Porsche Schemes which includes official Porsche Club track days.

Adrian Flux always worth a try too - better to call them than use the online quote system !

When renewals pop through the door try applying to the same company as a new customer either on line or by speaking to a human, you will be amazed by the price difference from the renewal that has dropped through your door. Insured my 2001 Boxter S, Vauxhall Corsa (the wife's) and a Renault Laguna sports tourer (for the dogs) on a multi car policy with Admiral for £680 for the year.

...policy with Admiral for £680 for the year.

T200 - you da man! £475 for the Boxster for myself and my retired brother, with full NCB protection, £400 total excess and no requirement to reactivate the tracker.

Thanks,
Chris.

No worries mate glad i could have helped just watch out that they dont bump it up on the renewal if they do try a quote as a new customer Direct Line are famus for this.

I get the feeling Privilege (same company as Direct Line) have been pulling a similar fast one on me for the last few years - my last renewal was £306, which for a 9-year-old car driven by a 44-year old driver with no convictions is pretty mad.

Same here was with direct line and their renewals were always in the one direction UP so went on line as a new customer and it was a good bit cheaper called them and told the operator this and she said sign up as a new customer so much for customer loyalty

And even if you do speak to a human, its worth squat unless you get it in writing!

Chris.

True, I got a telephone quote prior to buying a car, only for them to decline cover after I had bought it !

Quite a few companies will provide Gap insurance (the AA does for a small regular premium).

Enjoy your new Boxster I am sure you will love it! (And silver is the best colour!)

I have the feeling the bulk of any insurance quote is always the amount of damage you're likely to cause to other people, rather than to your car.

I have no convictions, but no NCB either (hadn't owned a car for the 6 years before I got the Boxster) and I pay around £800 insurance on my Boxster!
