Just get in touch and we’ll give you a quote for your specific model.
Porsche Boxster Insurance Groups
Are you a Porsche fan? If so, you probably know and may even own a Porsche Boxster, a two-seater sports car that was produced from 1996 to 2016. It has a convertible roof along with powerful engines ranging from 2.8-litre to 3.8-litre, which puts it in the higher insurance groups.
The Boxster range offers you the ultimate in personalisation. There are five different levels of trim to choose from and a huge range of add-ons. In fact, you can upgrade almost everything in the car. Enhancements like cruise control, climate control and heated seats will push you up the insurance groups because they boost the value of the car. If you have less bells and whistles, your Porsche insurance with us could be a little cheaper.

About Porsche
Early beginnings
Porsche was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, a remarkably talented engineer. Ferdinand Porsche's first successes came prior to his establishing his own company. He came to world attention with the Lohner-Porsche electric car presented at the World Fair in Paris in 1900. That same year he produced the world's first hybrid petrol/electric vehicle. He went on to become the Chief Engineer at Mercedes-Benz, where he developed the Mercedes-Benz Compressor Sports Car. In 1931, he started his own company, Porsche, where he designed one of the best-selling cars of all time. You’ve probably heard of it – it’s called the Volkswagen Beetle.
Present Day
After WWII, Porsche focused on developing sports cars with a reputation for performance, quality and reliability. It also achieved dominance in international motor sport. In 1964, it released the Porsche 911, its most iconic design. In 1982, it released the 956, which became the most successful sports car of its day. However, it had begun diverging from its classic designs, which resulted in it facing difficulties. By the 90s the brand had realised that its classics were seen as timeless and returned to its core design principles. It has since become an extremely profitable manufacturer and on May 11, 2017, it built the one millionth 911 model car.
