What Auto Insurance Policies Do You Need for Your Porsche?
Bodily injury liability: In many states, you must carry a minimum amount of bodily injury liability. This coverage pays for the cost of medical care and recovery if you cause an accident while driving your Porsche and the other party is injured.
Property damage liability: Property damage liability is also required in many states. This policy pays for damage to someone else's property resulting from an accident you caused.
Medical payments/Personal injury protection: Medical payments insurance and personal injury protection isn't required or even available in every state. Talk with your agent about the requirements and the pros and cons of this coverage. This coverage pays for costs of physical recovery for you and your passengers after an accident, no matter who is at fault.
Uninsured motorist coverage: Not every driver has enough insurance coverage. Many people choose to skip liability insurance to save money, even if doing so is illegal. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage offers financial protection if you are in an accident that is the fault of an uninsured driver.
Optional Coverage
Collision: Collision insurance coverage pays to repair or replace your Porsche if you are in a crash with another car. Your lender may require you to carry collision insurance coverage on your car if you have a loan or lease.
Comprehensive: If you are in an accident caused by hitting an animal, your Porsche is hit by a falling object, or you are the victim of auto theft, you'll need comprehensive insurance coverage to get your repair bill paid for or your car replaced. This coverage may also be required by your lender. If your Porsche is stolen, your comprehensive coverage policy will cover your loss. Without it, you won't be reimbursed.
Glass coverage: This inexpensive optional policy pays to replace your Porsche's glass no matter the reason for the breakage. This zero-deductible policy costs just a few dollars per month.
Gap insurance: You may need gap insurance if you owe more on your loan or lease than your Porsche's fair market value. Gap insurance handles the "gap" between what you owe and the amount the insurance company pays, which could be especially important for a luxury vehicle.
What Affects the Cost of Insurance for Your Porsche?
| Annual mileage |
| If you drive more than 10,000 to 15,000 miles yearly, expect to pay slightly higher premiums for auto insurance. |
| Your driving record |
| With a clean driving record, you'll pay a lower insurance rate than drivers with at-fault accidents or moving violations. |
| The value of your vehicle |
| A vehicle's MSRP weighs heavily on the overall cost to insure it. For most insurance companies, the cost of the vehicle is the primary consideration when issuing rate quotes. |

The Safety of Your Porsche

How Your Driving Record Affects Your Porsche Insurance
Here's how average Porsche full coverage insurance rates for drivers vary according to their driving record.
- High-risk auto insurance policies typically cost between 46% and 135% more than average rates.
- If you have an at-fault accident on your driving record, expect to pay $2,400 to $3,200 extra per year to insure your Porsche.

This fluctuation in rates means you'll need help from your agent to get quotes based on your driving record, among other factors, before you can understand how much you may pay to insure your Porsche.
