How much does it cost to insure a Porsche?

The average cost of full coverage car insurance in the United States is $2,014 per year. Because car insurance premiums are individualized based on several rating factors, the price you pay may be higher or lower. Your driving record, ZIP code, age, the coverage types you choose and more are all used to determine rates. Each car insurance company sets rates differently, as well, which is why the cost of auto insurance varies by carrier.

The make and model of the car you drive also makes a difference. For a luxury vehicle, you can expect to pay more for insurance than you would for a more traditional consumer car. The base price, safety features, cost to repair, price of parts and likelihood of being in an accident all contribute to the cost of Porsche car insurance.

  • Price of parts: Porsche uses high-quality materials on its vehicles, so the price of parts to repair a Porsche can be higher than it is for other makes. This could increase Porsche insurance premiums because claims costs might be higher.
  • Safety features: Many Porsche models include front and knee airbags, as well as the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP) standard. Some models also include curtain airbags. The Porsche Active Safe (PAS) system is available on some models and can help reduce the damage from or prevent a forward collision. Safety features can help lower the cost of car insurance by reducing the likelihood of damage and injuries.

In addition to car insurance rates varying based on your personal rating factors, they can also vary based on each vehicle model. Different models have different repair costs and safety features which can change the cost of insurance.

Porsche features that impact insurance costs

Auto insurance manufacturers all have unique features that can affect the price of car insurance. Some aspects of Porsche vehicles that may impact rates are:

  • Airbags: Porsche models come standard with front and knee airbags, but some models include curtain and rear airbags. The more airbags a car has, the more you might save on car insurance.
  • Stability control: Some Porsche models come with this feature. Stability control kicks in automatically if the car loses traction. This safety feature could reduce car insurance premiums by reducing the likelihood of accidents.
  • Lane keep assist: Offered on the Cayenne and Panamera, this feature alerts the driver if the car is moving out of its lane. This feature can help reduce accidents, which may lower the cost of insurance.

Other car insurance coverage for Porsche

If you are shopping for car insurance for a Porsche, cost is not the only feature to consider. Porsche owners may want to consider purchasing more than state minimum coverage when insuring their vehicle. While full coverage is not required by law, your lender will likely require that you carry a full coverage policy if you have a loan or lease. Additionally, the extra cost may be worth it if you are involved in an accident and your Porsche is damaged.

Full coverage car insurance includes comprehensive coverage, which provides coverage for damage to your vehicle caused by things like theft, vandalism, storm damage or hitting an animal. You’ll also have collision coverage if you buy a full coverage policy, which covers damage to your vehicle if you collide with something, like a car, building or stationary object.

You might also want to consider some optional endorsements for your Porsche insurance policy. If you have a loan or lease, gap insurance could be a good option. This optional coverage is designed to pay the difference between your loan or lease amount and the depreciated cash value amount of your new vehicle if it is totaled or stolen. If you travel often, roadside assistance might be a helpful endorsement to add. Although specifics vary by company, most roadside assistance endorsements will pay for your vehicle to be towed to the nearest repair facility. You may also have coverage for service calls like for a locksmith or tire change.

Owning a Porsche is exciting, but it also means that you need to consider your insurance needs carefully. If you are not sure what coverage to purchase, talking with a licensed insurance agent might be helpful.
