2014 Porsche 911 Insurance Rates

Nobody I know likes having to buy car insurance, especially knowing they are paying too much. You have multiple insurers to purchase coverage from, and though it is a good thing to have multiple companies, lots of choices makes it harder to find a good deal.

It’s a good habit to check car insurance prices yearly because prices change regularly. Even if you think you had the best deal on 911 coverage on your last policy other companies may now be cheaper. You can find a lot of wrong information about car insurance on the internet, so with this article, you’re going to get some great ideas on how to buy car insurance cheaper.

Factors that might impact rates for a Porsche 911

It’s important that you understand the different types of things that go into determining your insurance coverage rates. Understanding what determines base rates enables informed choices that can help you get better insurance coverage rates.

Listed below are some of the items insurance coverage companies consider when setting your rates.

  • Do men or women drive better? – Statistics have proven women tend to be less risk to insure than men. Now that doesn’t mean men are WORSE drivers than women. Both sexes tend to get into accidents in similar percentages, but the men tend to have more serious accidents. Men also statistically receive more costly citations like reckless driving and DUI.
  • How many coverages with the same company – Some insurance coverage companies give discounts to customers who carry more than one policy such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Discounts can amount to ten or even up to twenty percent in some cases. Even though this discount sounds good, it’s in your best interest to compare other company rates to make sure you are getting the best deal. Drivers may still find better rates by buying insurance from more than one company.
  • Lower deductibles cost more – Physical damage coverage, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, is used to repair damage to your Porsche. Some instances where coverage would apply could be a windshield shattered by a rock, damage from fire, or theft. Your deductibles are how much you are required to spend in the event of a claim. The higher the amount you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less your insurance coverage will be on 911 coverage.
  • The more you drive the more you pay – The more you drive in a year the more you will pay for insurance coverage. Most companies charge to insure your cars based on how the vehicle is used. Cars and trucks not used for work or commuting receive lower rates as compared to vehicles used primarily for driving to work. If your policy improperly rates your 911 can cost quite a bit. Ask your agent if your insurance coverage policy is rated on the correct driver usage, because improper ratings can cost you money.

Insurance Comparison Rates

There are a lot of ways to compare insurance prices but one way is more efficient than others. You can waste a few hours (or days) discussing policy coverages with insurance agencies in your area, or you can utilize online quoting to get prices fast.

Many insurance companies take part in a program that enables customers to enter their policy data once, and each participating company then returns a price quote based on that information. This prevents consumers from doing quote forms for every insurance company.

The one disadvantage to using this type of system is you don’t know exactly the companies you will receive quotes from. If you wish to select specific insurance companies to compare prices, we have assembled a list of insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose, just ensure you’re using identical deductibles and coverage limits for each comparison quote. If you are comparing mixed coverages you will not be able to make a fair comparison for your Porsche 911.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Consumers can’t get away from ads that promise big savings from the likes of Allstate and Progressive. All the ads make an identical promise that you’ll save big if you change your coverage to them.

How do they all make the same claim? This is how they do it.

All the different companies can use profiling for the driver that is profitable for them. For example, a profitable customer could be over the age of 50, has no driving citations, and drives newer vehicles. A customer getting a price quote who matches those parameters will get the preferred rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who are not a match for the “perfect” profile will be charged higher prices and ends up with business going elsewhere. The ads say “customers that switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much. That is how insurance companies can confidently advertise the savings. That is why it’s extremely important to compare many company’s rates. It’s not possible to predict which insurance companies will give you the biggest savings on Porsche 911 insurance.

Are you getting all your discounts?

Companies do not advertise every discount very clearly, so here is a list some of the more common and also the lesser-known insurance savings. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Multiple Cars – Insuring all your vehicles on the same insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
  • Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home can help you save on insurance because owning a home requires personal responsibility.
  • Auto/Life Discount – Some companies give a break if you buy auto and life insurance together.
  • Federal Government Employee – Active or retired federal employment could cut as much as 10% off on 911 coverage with select insurance companies.
  • Save with a New Car – Adding a new car to your policy is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Cut your cost by having your teen driver complete a driver education course if offered at their school.

It’s important to note that most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates adding up those discounts means a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.

Auto insurance coverages 101

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like hitting a bird, hail damage, vandalism, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical services, legal defense fees and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Porsche 911.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses like funeral costs, ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, surgery and prosthetic devices. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Shop smart and save

As you shop your coverage around, it’s very important that you do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are too many instances where an insured cut comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that the savings was not a smart move. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.

The cheapest 2014 Porsche 911 insurance can be purchased online as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some auto insurance companies don’t offer online quoting and these small insurance companies work with independent agents.

In this article, we presented many ideas to shop for insurance online. It’s most important to understand that the more rate quotes you have, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the biggest savings come from an unexpected company. Some small companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm and Allstate.
