Have just received 3 official quotes (mine an almost 3 year old GTS).... for a 3 year extension, it has jumped from £2.9k to >£3.3k!
Extended Warranty - Price Increase
- Thread starter The Eagles
- Start date
Ah but he's a big dog and the vet probably wants danger money.Up by 14% and now costing £1,100 pa, but still competitive compared with marques of similar status and performance.
I insure my dog against vet bills and it costs me a grand a year.

How dare you!

Agreed, pricing is not unreasonable.Up by 14% and now costing £1,100 pa, but still competitive compared with marques of similar status and performance.

A recent leaflet (with a Dec'25 covering letter) also shows £2,980 for 3 years. Will enquire, but not hopeful as the £3k+ was quoted by 3 x OPCs yesterday. In terms of timing, shortly before expiry to avoid paying for a 111 point check.
If you're extended your warranty you can do it at any time, it doesn't need to be close to expiry. I bought mine 3 months before the manufacturer's warranty expired, the new warranty starts automatically and the payment and paperwork was all done online.
I'm sure Porsche will bo doing a price increase at some stage early this year however if your warranty is due after the price rise then I'd buy it now.

Thanks Dan. I will be at the OPC for the 1st MOT near the end of Feb, so plan to do it then unless another OPC is willing to do it for £2,980 (vs the £3.3k - this must be the new price).
The warranty cost does not include Porsche Assistance which is charged separately. Check whether to cost of £3,300 includes the assistance.
Aligned on the prices for 3 years - £3,330 EW & £535 for PA. These are from 01/01/2026.
I have not looked into the PA yet, not sure pricing is competitive. AA and RAC are £90-£120 p.a.

£180 pa doesn't sound unreasonable since the scheme appears to offer benefits additional to normal policies. Also, compared to other schemes the AA (who administer for Porsche) seem to send out experienced operators to Porsche owners whenever possible.
You will find many diverse opinions on this forum - some good, some bad
however spending an extra £1 a week or so for dedicated Porsche Assistance doesn't sound that unreasonable.
But it occurs to me, do you really need 3 years cover? Many things can happen within that time frame or you may no longer have the vehicle.
My take is I'd rather retain the money in my bank for as long as possible rather than having it languishing in someone else's.

In my experience it's well worth understanding (which unfortunately incurs reading) the detailed T's and C's for Porsche Assistance vs other options you are considering. They are often not the same, even from the supplying brand. Depends what your needs are re onward transport, hotels, where you want the car fixed, possible repatriation, where you drive (eg UK and/or Europe), what other cars you might have, how they differentiate between an accident or vehicle failure (particularly in Europe), illness, whether you are on motorway or not, etc, etc. So no easy answer.

It is pro-rata refundable should you trade or sell the car.
I'm pleased I did the 3 years on mine in November and ducked the increase.
Dan is spot on. I recently renewed Porsche Assistance and it was competitive compared to the AA with additional cover for one European trip. As I have booked a European road trip this year, for me the PA was a no brainer for complete peace of mind.
Considering the above comments (thank you), the PA does not seem unreasonable - appears to provide comprehensive cover + unused periods are refundable.
