Porsche Insurance
Tailored insurance for Germany’s most iconic sports cars
When you own a Porsche, you’re driving more than just a vehicle — you’re experiencing decades of engineering excellence and motorsport heritage. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand the unique requirements that come with insuring these exceptional sports cars, and we’re here to source the tailored cover your Porsche deserves.
Whether you own a classic 911, a modern Cayenne, the track-focused GT3, or the electric Taycan, our experienced team knows and tailors insurer relationships to secure protection for your prized sports car.
What makes insuring a Porsche different from standard cars?
Porsche vehicles represent a unique combination of everyday usability and exceptional performance capability. From the entry-level Macan starting around ÂŁ55,000 to limited edition models exceeding ÂŁ200,000, these vehicles require a tailored understanding that goes beyond standard motor insurance.
The engineering sophistication of modern Porsche vehicles, combined with their desirability among enthusiasts and, unfortunately, thieves, creates specific insurance challenges. Advanced driver assistance systems, lightweight materials, and high-performance components all contribute to higher repair costs when damage occurs.
Our tailored insurers understand that Porsche ownership represents a passion for driving excellence, not just transportation. This understanding translates into policies that reflect the true nature of how these vehicles are owned, maintained, and enjoyed.
What Porsche models can we insure?
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete Porsche range, from modern everyday drivers to rare classic models and limited production supercars.
Current Production Models
- 911 Range – From the Carrera to the track-focused GT3 and GT2 RS, we understand each variant’s unique characteristics and insurance requirements
- Cayenne and Macan – Our SUV cover recognises these vehicles’ dual nature as family transport and performance machines
- Panamera – Tailored cover for Porsche’s luxury saloon that combines practicality with sports car performance
- Taycan – Dedicated insurance for Porsche’s electric sports car, including cover for charging equipment and battery technology

Classic and Heritage Models
For owners of classic Porsche models, including early 911s, 356s, 928s, 944s, or 968s, we source tailored agreed value cover that reflects their historical significance and often appreciating values. Our team understands that these vehicles require different treatment from modern cars, with policies tailored to reflect their collector status.
Limited Edition and GT Models
Special attention is given to limited production models such as the 911 R, Speedster variants, or any of the GT department’s creations. These vehicles often require bespoke cover arrangements that reflect their rarity and special status within the Porsche community.
What factors influence your Porsche vehicle insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Porsche:
- Model and Performance Level – A Macan will cost less to insure than a 911 Turbo S due to different risk profiles
- Driver Profile – Age, driving history, and location significantly impact premiums, with younger drivers facing higher costs
- Usage Pattern – Weekend pleasure use typically costs less than daily commuting
- Security Measures – Garage storage, alarms, trackers, and immobilisers can reduce premiums
- Annual Mileage – Lower mileage policies often source significant savings for occasional-use vehicles
- Modification Level – Performance modifications may increase premiums, whilst security upgrades often reduce them
Storage and Security
Porsche vehicles are unfortunately popular with thieves, making security arrangements particularly important. Secure garage storage, combined with modern security systems, can significantly reduce your premium whilst protecting your investment.
Track Day Usage
Many Porsche owners enjoy track days and driving experiences. We can arrange policies that include track day cover, ensuring you’re protected whether you’re on the road or circuit.
Geographic Considerations
Location significantly impacts premiums, with urban areas typically attracting higher costs due to increased theft risk and accident frequency. However, our tailored insurers often have a more nuanced understanding of risk factors than standard providers.
What coverage options are available for your Porsche?
Our insurer’s policies can be tailored to include a wide range of cover options designed specifically for performance car ownership.
Core Cover Elements
- Comprehensive Physical Damage – Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and other perils. Essential cover given the high repair costs associated with Porsche vehicles.
- Third Party Liability – Mandatory cover protecting you against claims from other parties. We recommend higher limits given the performance capabilities of these vehicles.
- Agreed Value Protection – Particularly important for classic models, ensuring you receive agreed compensation rather than potentially disputed market valuations.
Optional Enhancements
- Track Day Cover – Extension of your policy to cover circuit use, subject to specific terms and safety requirements. Modified Car Insurance – Tailored cover for performance modifications, ensuring your enhancements are properly protected.
- European Cover – Extended protection for touring holidays or track events across Europe.
- Key and Lock Replacement – Cover for sophisticated Porsche security systems and replacement keys.
