Porsche is a German car marque that oozes both luxury and high performance, and it’s adored in the UK just as it is in the rest of the world. The Porsche 911, almost certainly the car maker’s most well-known model, arrived in the 1960s and is still going strong today. If you fancy yourself as the proud owner of a Porsche sometime soon, fasten your seat belt and read on to see how much it could cost to insure.
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.
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.
