Anyone run a Boxster on classic car insurance ? - Page 1 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

I'm thinking of a Boxster (pre 2003) as a second car next summer, does anyone know of insurers that will quote on one as a classic ? If not how do you insure your second car ?

Yup as a TIPEC member we use Paul at Asset Trust. He covers my 2000 3.2s as a modern classic for around £320PA. This is NOT garaged (very significant) 3K miles PA for a 56 year old as a second car.

Clearly, when comparing premiums, there are many factors to consider - not least age of owner, accident and/or convictions history, postcode where kept etc. But £320? My new 981 Boxster S (cost over £60k) is insured with Porsche Insurance for less than that for 6000 miles, fully comprehensive, for social, domestic and pleasure use. I'm 55 years old - with a clean licence and 70% no claims discount, and the car is garaged in Lincolnshire. Edited by Delbox on Sunday 1st December 14:43

Edited by Delbox on Sunday 1st December 14:43 The garage bit is important, mine isn't & it makes a huge difference. My group members pay much less for those that are garaged. Classic policies neither accrue or use NCB either, my NCB is on the daily driver.

Great stuff, thanks for the info. I've had a couple of 3.2 Carreras as in the past which were insured this way but that was a few years ago now.

Porsche Insurance will allow the same NCD to be used on 2 cars: eg a daily driver and another.

Best quote I've had so far my Boxster (2003 S) is from Lockton. I have no garage but not a risky postcode. 50 y.o. - £357 for 3k miles. I couldn't find anyone else who would do one unless it was 15 years old, but then I didn't ring ALL of them. If I took my 9 yrs NCB to them, which I can't do at the moment, it would be £285! You still can't get a firm quote online for classic cover because there are too many variables like your personal car and driving history that some firms take into consideration and there isn't a box for that.. yet.

I insure my 1998 Boxster on a classic policy with Hagerty, not sure on exact cost as I insure 2 classic Minis on the same policy but it is less than £400 for all 3. It is garaged and you have to have another car as your main everyday car. I think it just needs to be over 10 yrs old to qualify. ETA I am 39, but costs have not changed too much in the 7 yrs of having the car. Edited by mini95 on Monday 2nd December 00:09

My Dad uses RH Classic Insurance for his 2001 S. 5000 miles a year, garaged. Can't remember how much it is off the top of my head, but it is quite reasonable. Looks like we won't be sticking with the classic policy though when it comes to renewal. Mileage will be going up a bit and 5000 is RH's maximum (I'm also trying to convince Dad that he ought to put it on our multicar policy so that I can be temporarily insured on it )

The first year I ran a Boxster it was on an Admiral multi car policy. The 2nd year I split them out and went via A Plan. If you go to boxa.net there is a specific office of A Plan to ring for a 'discounted' policy.

thread revival! Any updates on where to get a good deal on a 20 year old Boxster as a 2nd car?

I'm with Direct Line. Less than £190 for a garaged 99 Boxster. 8k miles pa.

We insured ours with an everyday policy and sat on the drive including business use, for around £255 through Aviva. It was in my wife's name and she didn't have any no claims bonus. It was approaching ten years old when we got it.

eSure. £180 for a '98 996, on the drive, 8k pa + business use. I'm 43yo, 3 points.

Mine's a 2010 Boxster 2.9 base, not garaged (is on drive tho), and I renewed in May for £240 with LV. I'm 59, clean licence, 9yrs NCD.

2005 Boxster 2.7, 48 yrs old, LS postcode, £180 with LV on standard policy inc business use.

Recommend Lancaster Insurance, currently have three cars with them on "Classic" policies. Never had to test their claim system but decent price, friendly to talk to and seem to know the "Classic" market.

Thanks for all the replies went with Lancaster these old Porsches are surprisingly cheap to insure !
