Agreed Value coverage for total loss or theft, with no depreciation, regardless of vehicle age or mileage
With Porsche Car Insurance, you will always know the minimum you will receive if your car is written-off or stolen, with no deductible if your Porsche is a total loss or is stolen from your locked garage. We’ll pay you the full sum insured, not a depreciated ‘market value’.

If the cost of replacing your Porsche exceeds the sum insured, your Porsche is less than 15 years old, and the sum insured is less than £500,000, we will pay the cost of replacing your Porsche with a Porsche car of the same model, specification, mileage and age, and in the same condition as your car immediately prior to the covered loss.

Charging cables and your home charger are covered for accidental damage, fire and theft. You are also covered for any accidents involving any charging cables when they are attached to your car, as long as you have taken reasonable steps to prevent such an accident.
Protection against power cuts at home
If due to storm or flood your house is without power, and you are unable to charge your electric car for a period in excess of 24 hours, we will reimburse you up to £1,000 for the reasonable cost you incurred to purchase a generator system.
Full cover when driving abroad, included at no extra cost
In addition to the minimum cover required to drive in Europe, we provide the same level of cover as when driving in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

Repairs
What is a Porsche Recommended Repairer?
Repairing a Porsche and retaining the integrity of its unique and inherent characteristics is a job that requires a commensurate level of understanding, care and skill. Porsche Cars Great Britain Ltd recommends specialist independent repairers for body and paint services to its national network of Porsche Centres and customers.
These facilities have to meet the strict Operating Standards determined by Porsche Cars Great Britain. These standards are updated as technical developments are made within the vehicle range and are based on the qualitative processes and workmanship expected by Porsche.
A Porsche Recommended Repairer must consistently maintain their compliance with the required training, tooling and equipment standards as well as adhering to the repair processes as set out by Porsche AG for the repair of its vehicles. All of the repair facilities are independently audited and continuously monitored for compliance to the Porsche Body and Paint Operating Standards by Porsche Cars Great Britain.
When repairing your vehicle, Porsche Genuine Parts will be fitted, meaning that your Porsche remains a Porsche. The repairs will be warranted by the Recommended Repair facility against poor workmanship for a minimum period of 36 months, or the unexpired period of the Warranty appropriate to the vehicle at the time of the original registration, whichever is longer.
What are the benefits of using Porsche Genuine Parts?
For true Porsche high-performance, every part has to work with every other, seamlessly and perfectly. That’s why Porsche engineers apply the same precision to developing even the smallest components as they do for the whole vehicle.
Porsche Genuine Parts are manufactured to meet strict quality standards and can contribute to maintaining maximum safety and reliability. Accurate fitting, longer parts life, and less wear help to maintain not only the optimum performance for your Porsche, but also its value. Every Porsche Genuine Part fitted to your Porsche by a Porsche Recommended Repairer comes with a two-year Porsche Parts Warranty.
Most insurers will aim to use their preferred repairer network, who may repair your vehicle using non-genuine parts. The use of inferior parts can cause damage to your vehicle and may also compromise your safety and that of your passengers.
