Insurance

[tim.reid]

Hi all, as delivery of my Macan S creeps, ever so slowly closer, I need to checkout some insurance for it. I intend to contact the insurers listed in Porsche Post, but my question to you all is: are these really the guys to call? Any thoughts or recommendations welcome. Also perhaps, any to avoid?

Many thanks.

As far as I know only Locktons has a formal association with the club.

Probably too many variables to comment on the many brokers touting for your business

I have our Macan, Boxster and Toyota pick up on a multicar policy with Admiral which seems competitive.

Many thanks everyone. I found that the most competitive quotes came via Moneysupermarket, and I'll be going with one of those.

Tim,
I recently insured my 981 Boxster S and found Admiral to be the best and much cheaper than Loxtons even with the PCGB discount.

You need to pick an insurer that allows you to use a Porsche Approved repairer, otherwise there will likely be residual value and/or other implications.

Certainly could have warranty implications.

Good point, thanks Clive.

Admiral do allow Porsche Approved Repairers, we used Shorade in Cannock last year when our Macan had a ‘coming toether’

Just to point out that there aren’t now any Porsche Approved Repairers; there are only Porsche Recommended Repairers. A subtle difference maybe, but I note that many/most seem to be recommended repairers for different makes … and not always the so-called “premium” makes.

When seeking insurance I think the main thing to confirm is that the insurer will allow you use a repairer of your choice and who will use only new Porsche parts.

Note of warning. I was planning to become a Macan owner but I have been stymied by insurance. At the moment, a Macan is uninsurable if parked on the street in London....as mine would be 2 days a week. Apparently, since JLR upgraded their security, the crims have moved on from nicking Range Rovers to Macans and Cayennes. Locktons, Footman James and AIB all said the same thing.

Try NFU's local office near you.
