What’s the average insurance cost for a Porsche?

The average insurance cost of a Porsche varies depending on the model you choose, your location, your driving history and many other factors. But you can expect to pay a hefty premium for one of Porsche’s stylish models.

Using a specific profile, we ran quotes to find the average insurance cost of a Porsche 911 Carrera, a coveted model in the UK, and found it to be £2,037 a year or £192 a month. This is for fully comprehensive cover and no optional extras.Your actual cost could be more or less depending on the model you choose, your age, driving record and location, as well as the number of miles you drive in a year and other factors.

Some of the other variables that affect the price of insurance include the year, model and trim package of your Porsche, how likely it is of being stolen and how costly it is to repair or replace.

How a vehicle from Porsche affects insurance costs

Insurance companies look at several car-related factors when determining the cost of insurance, including the car’s safety ratings, its likelihood of being stolen, and replacement costs and overall damage susceptibility.

A Porsche’s high price tag equates to higher insurance premiums. And because owners will want to protect their investment, most will opt for more than just third party cover. However, the good safety ratings that Porsche models have received can help to temper insurance costs. That said, some models are more likely to be targeted by thieves, which can push those premiums back up.

Other factors that affect the cost of insurance include the model, mileage and trim package. Personal factors like your driving history and age will also be taken into consideration when calculating your insurance.

Are there any standout models?

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1963. The modern 911’s top-of-the-line GT2 RS references the classic 911 while bringing it into the future with plenty of bite.

Features include a 96.5 inch wheelbase, a top track speed of 211 mph and independent exhaust system with titanium rear silencers. The GT2 RS’s 3.8-litre 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine produces 700 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, allowing you to go 0-62mph in under 3 seconds, and the 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) will provide plenty of dynamic gear changes.

Prices start at around £210,000.

    Hey,

      Hi Paikea,

      Thanks for getting in touch.

      A Porsche 911 (2007 model) is likely to be in insurance groups 49 or 50, which are the highest insurance group classifications. Unfortunately, this means the cost of your insurance is likely to be rather expensive, especially as you’re also a young driver with little experience.

      A 20-year-old driver living in an average UK postcode with a similar car is likely to pay around £2,000 per year for insurance. As you’re 17, chances are the cost of your insurance may be even higher.

      You should still be able to find a number of companies that will insure you, but as young drivers are considered a higher risk, your options may be more limited compared to a more experienced driver.

      You can see which insurance companies will offer you insurance, and also get a range of insurance quotes by filling out the form here.

      I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any other questions.

      Regards,

      Tom
