He said good insurers - not cheap ones! [] I'd recommend going through the ones in Porsche Post or the specialist Porsche magazines first. They are more likely to insure you properly (including all your extras) than the bargain bucket insurers.

I agree with Mark - cheapest doesn't necessarily mean best and some insurance companies will not cover options, even factory fitted ones, so be careful and ask specifically if everything is included. If you thinking of doing track days, some of the insurers who advertise in Porsche Post will include cover for them in the policy. Look for quality as well as cost.

Thanks for the advice. I am currently with ClassicLine from Porsche post and the renewal is £520 thats for a 40 year old with 3000 miles a year and i actually think thats quite good. I was just getting ideas to see i fi could get something slightly cheaper. As a compariosn Norwich Union were £2000. []

I also use A-Plan and what you have to be careful of with the cheaper companies is they will send your car to their own repair specialists where as the company A-Plan insured me with will only use Porsche approved specialists and will give you a Boxster or Cayman as a courtesy car whilst your car is being repaired regardless of fault, I was really impressed with their service.

your location mileage and age aren't dissimilar to me, so try A.Manning for their Porsche Club scheme (tel # in Porsche Post) or performance insurance (also advert in PP)ORIGINAL: CPU Thanks for the advice.

I'm with Porsche Insurance through Porsche GB - £393, which I thought was good and it is actually Norwich Union. Recently hit £1300 worth of badger(he walked away too!!) and it was handled brilliantly through Porsche Approved bodyshop, lifetime guarantee of work - only thing I had to do was sign 'satisfactory' on collection - A1. You pays your money!!ORIGINAL: CPU Thanks for the advice.

My current comprehensive policy, with an excess of £250, sourced via "confused.com" with AA/Saga and an estimated annual mileage of 4,000 mi, cost me £344.65 (10 yrs NCB with 1 speeding conviction in 2004). If anyone can find a lower cost policy with an equivalent insurer, I'd be interested to hear about it.

I'm insured with Norwich Union through Porsche Insurance Services (an unfortunate acronym) operated by Marsh Ltd. The last premium was £396.50 for fully comp, with claims assistance, RAC legal expenses cover and an excess of £350. Living in rural Oxfordshire helps, as does being 50 something. BB

You pays your money!! [/quote] Having sung their praises I have just received their renewal quote - £565 - yes, 44% increase - outrageous. When queried I was told it was as a result of the (£1054) claim - "but it was only a £1000, and it was the badger's fault" I pleaded. In reply I was told - "it doesn't matter if it's £10 or £10,000, it's the claim that counts". And "protected' NCB just protects a discount off a much higher figure!! The moral is - if you're going to claim, make sure it's a big one - if you claim £200 your premium still goes up by £172 !!!! It seems that assessment of risk doesn't come into modern car insurance. I've shopped around & have a quote from Peart(see Porsche Post) for £422 incl. B/down. Legal etc so that looks like a goer. And you can use Porsche approved repairer if required.
