Reported cause
Although this wasn't the cheapest quote I found it was the most comprehensive.
Leading evidence: 'most comprehensive' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'most comprehensive' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check details' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There are so many threads about insurance costs that I thought it might be a good idea to have a standard template covering all the requirements, so that a better comparison can be made between quotes. If you think I have forgotten any important elements, please let me know and I'll add them to the template.
These are the details of my insurance. Once we get a decent number of replies, I'll probably move this thread to the FAQ section as a permanent record.

Interestingly Direct line was 100 more than priviledge ("You don't have to be Porsche to be Priviledge"), who they own. Also, Priviledge's on-line system quoted me 80 more for my Carrera (2) than a Carrera 4 !!
Worth adding Broker and Insurer/Underwriter as seperate in the template:
e.g. Like Diesel130, I'm with Academy but my insurer is NIG and his is Norwich Union (or Norwich Onion as he calls them [
])
Sorry, can't contribute as I have one of those mid-engine Porsche
Edit: Thanks Kish & Diesel. I've also added breakdown cover.

Just found this thread and thought I ought to mention something which may well interest those who have an imported i.e.non UK spec car. I have recently found out that mine is not a C16 and as such doesn't have a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm system and as such is NOT covered for theft by my insurer, Norwich Union.
My broker reckons that none of the main stream insurers cover cars without this alarm system, which has been standard in the UK for the last 10 years, for theft. Some of them also won't cover you for damage to your own car too, even if you were fully comp.
Just thought I'd mention it.
PS. Yes, I'm suing the supplying dealer! [

Notes and warning: Admiral quoted £1100, Swiftcover was close to £650 but wouldn't do protected NCB.
*** However, as I found out last week when my car went into Porsche for some minor repairs, Hastings would not cover a Porsche as a courtesy car. After several phone calls it turns out that Hastings policy (which is not written down anywhere in their literature) is to only cover courtesy cars under £20,000 in value. I'm not sure how they can ever cover a courtesy car for porsche, bmw, mercedes, jaguar etc... The garages apparently now no longer provide insurance for their loan cars - so being insured with Hastings means I am unable to get my car serviced easily! I am trying to find out what happens in the event of an accident, since my chosen repair garage would of course be Porsche - who would then provide the loan car! ***
If I change insurance - has anyone tested their insurance company's courtesy car policy?

Interesting point. I've previously owned various expensivish cars (>£30k) and none of my previous insurance companies (Tesco, RSA, NU) have complained about a merc or bm as a courtesy car.

A bit obscure but does anyone know of an insurance company that will insure my 2003 c4s for laid up cover. It's the subject of a court case but is in my garage and i should insure it, against fire only would suit me.
Thanks.
Thanks Mercurial, just called them.....£525 for laid up cover in my garage, fire and theft!! Only cost £900 for me and the wife fully comp to use it on the road, never mind. Thanks anyway.

Hello, this is my second year insuring this car. Its worth considering GAP insurance when buying from a dealer/indie to protect the value paid against the market value the insurer will want to pay in the event of a claim, there's more of this on the "Insurance Renewals Thread" on this forum.

Notes: For the first year in many, I didn't bother to shop around.
I do like a bargain and been stuck with Privilege for the past 3 years (Porsche and non-Porsche policies) because no other companies were coming close to their quotes. Under 30 with a 996TT in East London isn't the best combo for cheap insurance! However, the only company I rang this year was Academy on the recommendation of Richard, nice simple broker with polite people to help and that they did. Every year I pay around £1400 and Academy shaved this down to £1095 "" excellent! Until the documents arrived and didn't allow me to drive other cars as I am under 30, next best policy they could offer was £1500.
So as much as this company never quotes me less than £2k, I am totally shocked to be insured with Admiral now:

Notes: Premium shot up because of the SP30, but when the broker looked into it found that I was mistakenly paying the premium based on the car being a 2000 Carrera 2 Tip. They also found that the Turbo is CHEAPER for me to insure than a C2, so the premium was only £14 more than last year.
I also found 911 996 Turbo to be cheaper than a regular C4. Can anyone explain this to me???? How extra 120bhp and car worth twice as much is less risk??
I expect it comes down to claims history. My guess would be that Turbos tend to be owned more as second cars and simply get used less than Carreras. Hence there are less claims, and insurers think they are a better risk.
Update on my Post 51 : renewal time came around, Saga wanted £245 but Classic Line / Brit Insurance came in with identical cover BUT XS £100 not £500!! Premium £212. Result!!

Hi all, I have had great difficulty finding insurance now that i have admitted to having had my UK licence since Early 2008, although i have driven here and had accidents and fines without any major issues before that time since 2000 (1998 if my MC is to be included). I have held a licence since 1992 from Norway, which is my home country. My premium has basically shot up, even though I have full no claims on one car and a few on another.
Now, Why is that? My licence is recognised as an international licence and on par with EU rules etc..
Any suggestions/tips are welcome as I have had to drop the mileage and I dare not think how much a Turbo will cost me..

Renewal Nov 2010 with ClassicLine (KGM Modern Classic) £422 with a very good guaranteed valuation figure.... obtained from PCGB & valid for 2 years
that's £32 cheaper than last year with the wife having a bump last xmas in my every day commute!
£250 excess with no voluntary loaded
limited to 5k miles, european cover but no track days
even tho' I live 20 miles north of stevenage, still come under the lottery postcode SG....
Strangely, I did read an article the other day saying some insurers were quoting cheaper if your car was parked on road as opposed to driveway as would be thieves wouldn't know where you lived.......
Definately need to shop around!

Hi Can someone recommend insurance companies cheaper than comparison websites? Wife is 31 with 6 years no claims no points and Im going to be 29. I ran a quick quote on moneysupermarket with me as a named drive and it came up with around £1100 on a 2002 C4s.
see i do not understand this? i just called them, im 26 and have 5 years no claims, no accidents etc same car and they want to charge me 1300? oh and i have a secured garage?
I've got mine through swiftcover (AXA I think), I used 5 years of no claims on the 911, 12k annual mileage (way more than enough considering I have only done 750 in nearly the past 6 months), includes SD&P + commuting, excess is pretty high around 500 if I recall correctly though.
Premium was around £380.00 with my wife added, without her it jumped up by another £150.00 which is crazy considering she is younger than me! I always add her on to my policies now, seems to always make them cheaper.

Notes: I was previously with A-Plan (Thatcham) who are prepared to deal for multiple cars. Over the past two years, I insured the Turbo and a V8 Range Rover with them "for under a thousand pounds". Year before last, the total was £960, last year it was £970. This year, they were unable to compete (sadly) so I shopped around. HT gave me the best deal on the Turbo (above) whilst I used Admiral (via the internet) for the other car (£402). This gives an overall increase since last year of around 5% - not bad considering the parasitic "no win no fee" lot.
Yeah its wierd, i just shopped around i like the comparison sites to get a rough idea how much i should be paying but some were charging double that. Now ive hit the bit 25 im expecting it to be around £1000. Also the no claims can make a big difference as you say you have 5 years to my 6, im renewing next month anyway so i should probably start shopping around.

Hi all,
Has anyone had an insurance renewal recently.
Well I have just got mine gone up a massive £354 from last year [
]
from Performance Direct. I have been with then for years and years
always the best deal but seems not anymore.
I rang them to get a better deal not a chance best deal they say.Yeah right
So for a Cayman S limited mileage garaged fully comp £775.[
] last year
for my GT3 £421 now told when I go back to a GT3 it will be £866.
That much for an old git of 50 full no claims never claimed .There having a laugh.
Seach will start for a better deal asap.
Is owning a car getting out of hand or is it just me.
Excuse the rant. Will get me a bike.
Cliff.
I hate to upset you, but i just renewed at the weekend. It came to around £750 with a £350 excess which i think is an amazing bargain.

Hi guys,
Just seen this thread and I would recommend for some of you insuring your car under a classic insurance policy.
I just insured my 2002 3.6 tip cabrio for £407 with 3000 mile limitation. On a standard policy, it was going to cost me around £800.
Quite an impressive saving. The insurer insisted I be a member of an owners club though.......
Mine moved from 380 to 460 last Sep through Swiftcover.
That is a 996 C2, using 7 years NCB on it now and 12k SDP, 32 years at the time of renewing, IT consultant.
Admiral was about 20.00 cheaper, but this was on a multicar policy which it didn't make sense to move to (would have not been worth it as I would have lost out getting back premium from SC). Without multicar they were more expensive by over £100.
Interestingly Swift wanted £600 for the MG! LOL, hence moving that to Admiral at a reasonable 270. The fun will commence again come this September!
I've just gone through the renewal lottery again and am back with Admiral after 2 years with Sheila's Wheels !

Notes: I've given up trying to do multi-car deals with the Range Rover. HT (above) came down a lot following a phone call to the above total and remained extremely competitive. Adrian Flux quoted £595 for broadly the same with an extra £x for this and £y for that (and a bit too much hard sell). I didn't feel comfortable with them so continued with HT so a 7% increase since last year. I managed to get the Range Rover down to £257 with Elephant (big saving) so overall paying £921 for both. A
decrease
of 10% versus last year.
Not a 996, but it might help someone.

Notes: Renewal with Aviva came in at £590, so I "Compared the Meerkat" and got virtually identical cover with LV for £230 less. LV seem to be offering keen prices at the moment.
I have checked the policy documents and can't find that anywhere, but I'll get out my fine-toothed comb tonight. I always keep the car in the garage overnight anyway. I think most companies would take a dim view of insuring the car on the basis of it being garaged, and then leaving it on the driveway all night.
Agreed, but there might well be an occasion you're going out again after 10pm or perhaps storing something in your garage overnight, in which case, leaving it on your forecourt, it wouldn't be insured. But by leaving on your neighbours' forecourt, it would be covered! [8|]
It's worth checking. I always garage mine, but decided to pay the little extra (about £25 from memory) for forecourt cover just to be on the safe side. [
]
Regards,
Clive.
I read every word of all the LV policy documents, and couldn't find any mention of it.
I am familiar with the clause, as the policy I have for the 3.2 includes it. Coincidentally, the renewal for that came through on Friday. Down from £409 last year to £330 this year - same insurer, same cover. Go figure.
For the first time in my driving history, the road tax on my main car is more than the insurance. [

this is copied info from a post but thought it would be beneficial here too!

Best I got from 'nationals' was £315 self only, with an additional £500 compulsory excess, NO commuting or the all important agreed valuation which is due for reassessment.

Just had my renewal through from ClassicLine, £9 increase from last year to £394, so thought I'd do a little comparison.....
Especially seeing others on here paying +/- around the £200 pound mark & given that I do live in 'rural' Bedfordshire!!
Well online quotes I got were astonishing:
Lancaster £678.63
Heritage £774.22 with a combined excess of £850
Admiral were the closest at £367 but then I wouldn't get Agreed Valuation that lasts 2 years......
So, no brainer then, CL for me for 4th consecutive year
Comprehensive.

Just changed from Admiral (who actually would have reduced things substantially when I called to cancel), to Classicline have agreed value, reduced excess to only £200, included club track days and a very good premium of only £252. Good result.

Definitely the Postcode Lottery as all other areas of policy, age/driving/accidents/etc are similar.....
Its really interesting
Had a renewal through from ADRIAN FLUX 530.00 using my 6 years NCB [>:]
Phoned the Porsche Insurance Scheme 370.00
Phoned ADrian Flux Dropped it to 340.00 !!!!!!!!!! [

Phoned Porsche Insurance Dropped it to 340.00
So it is worth shopping around. NOT HAPPY THAT ADRIAN FLUX DID NOT GET A BETTER QUOTE 1st TIME
