Elephant.

Same buisness but you can move over. Cheapest by far for me.

I think Admiral the most common for the Taycan. It was the cheapest for me.

Another vote for Admiral here. I have both my Taycan Turbo S and Nissan GT-R insured with them.

Admiral remained cheapest for me by some margin at last renewal.

Remember, price creeping is no longer allowed, so you can trust the initial quotes more now......rather than haggling.

Have any of you folks that have insurance with Admiral actually made a claim? If so, what was the claim experience like? Did you insist they use a Porsche UK approved body centre for the work, and use Porsche parts so that warrantee is maintained? How did they react to that demand?

Not for my Porsche. But my son ended up claiming when he crashed his Fiesta. They were very good. Honestly couldn’t fault them. Gave him a good price when they wrote it off such that he could replace it. A lot more than could have sold it for

Admiral for me too.
I just switch ready for my PX tomorrow, 5 months left on term from 911 C4 to GTS ST and i got a £234 rebate. So the Taycan is around £500PA cheaper to insure than the 911.

Did Admiral require a tracker on your 911 C4? and on the new GTS ST?

We have just had a non-fault claim go through on Admiral under the multi car plan - wifes BMW.

Feedback is mixed....
In fact I put a complaint in and it was upheld.

It was repaired at a centralised bodywork shop - but using all BMW parts and a lifetime guarantee.
The repair looks very good tbh.

Other parts of the claim have been less positive.....
Pushing us to use Auxillis for the courtesy car provider.
Their rental costs are absolutely eye watering - but they don't care as they claim off the 3rd party.

As we are supposed to be mitigating the 3rd parties losses, it would have been far cheaper to write the car off.
I told them this, but they wouldn't listen and now the total claim is probably more than the cars value.

Lack of common sense and joined up thinking in the whole claim process. End up dealing with Admiral, Admiral Law, Auxillis - telling them all the same thing. Totally disjointed.

Im with Allianz on the Taycan - largely as the policy was in place on my 911. Mit term change always seem to rise more than you hope. But they are slick online and don't require a tracker.

No, not needed for insurance, but I always add tracker/ghost.

Because they make money from it. Had a similar experience myself, especially as they gave us a £150k hire car for 4 months..

Yes, it wasn’t the normal process I’m used to. They asked for the original invoice and proof of payment as part of the “luxury car” process. I had to chase them to move things forward, as the next steps weren’t clearly explained.

I had no issue using a Porsche approved repairer, the one I had in mind was already on their approved list. My repair was minor but 3rd party needed a bumper repair.

I am with Admiral, renewal was £1090, previous yr was £865 (nothing changed), checked confused.com and was getting £960, so went onto the Admiral website and there is a 'I am not happy with the renewal price' and it came back with £830 (all automated online). I did change my mileage down a little, but no big change.

Just done my renewal with Hastings. £479 on a multicar with my wife's car.
