Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.

Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.

The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
Porsche vehicles represent a unique combination of everyday usability and exceptional performance capability. From the entry-level Macan starting around £55,000 to limited edition models exceeding £200,000, these vehicles require a tailored understanding that goes beyond standard motor insurance.
The engineering sophistication of modern Porsche vehicles, combined with their desirability among enthusiasts and, unfortunately, thieves, creates specific insurance challenges. Advanced driver assistance systems, lightweight materials, and high-performance components all contribute to higher repair costs when damage occurs.
Our tailored insurers understand that Porsche ownership represents a passion for driving excellence, not just transportation. This understanding translates into policies that reflect the true nature of how these vehicles are owned, maintained, and enjoyed.
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete Porsche range, from modern everyday drivers to rare classic models and limited production supercars.
For owners of classic Porsche models, including early 911s, 356s, 928s, 944s, or 968s, we source tailored agreed value cover that reflects their historical significance and often appreciating values. Our team understands that these vehicles require different treatment from modern cars, with policies tailored to reflect their collector status.
Special attention is given to limited production models such as the 911 R, Speedster variants, or any of the GT department’s creations. These vehicles often require bespoke cover arrangements that reflect their rarity and special status within the Porsche community.
Understanding the elements that affect your costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Porsche:
Porsche vehicles are unfortunately popular with thieves, making security arrangements particularly important. Secure garage storage, combined with modern security systems, can significantly reduce your premium whilst protecting your investment.
Many Porsche owners enjoy track days and driving experiences. We can arrange policies that include track day cover, ensuring you’re protected whether you’re on the road or circuit.
Location significantly impacts premiums, with urban areas typically attracting higher costs due to increased theft risk and accident frequency. However, our tailored insurers often have a more nuanced understanding of risk factors than standard providers.
Our insurer's policies can be tailored to include a wide range of cover options designed specifically for performance car ownership.
Our approach to Porsche vehicle insurance is built on genuine appreciation for these exceptional machines. Our team includes enthusiasts who understand that Porsche ownership represents a passion for driving excellence and engineering innovation.
We maintain relationships with specialist insurers who share this understanding and can properly assess the unique characteristics of different Porsche models. This expertise often translates into more competitive premiums and superior coverage compared to standard insurers.
Our personal service means you'll work with team members who understand your specific requirements and can adapt your coverage as your needs evolve, whether you're adding vehicles to your collection or planning track day participation.

Premiums for a Porsche tend to sit higher than mainstream cars because of performance, parts costs and the theft-target profile of models like the 911 and Cayenne. That said, a specialist broker often beats comparison-site quotes. Factors like limited annual mileage, garaging, a tracker and a clean licence all help bring the figure down.
Yes. Whether it's a US-market 911, an early air-cooled import or a grey-import Carrera GT, we work with insurers who understand imported Porsches. You'll need the V5 showing import status and, ideally, details of any IVA or registration work. We'll take it from there and match you to a panel insurer who prices imports fairly.
Standard road policies almost always exclude circuit use, but we can arrange separate track day cover for a 911 GT3, Cayman GT4 or any other Porsche you intend to take on track. It's usually arranged per-event or as an annual add-on, with approved circuit lists and driver experience declarations required.
Yes - backdates, suspension upgrades, remaps, exhaust work and cosmetic changes can all be covered provided every modification is declared upfront. We work with insurers who price modified 911s and Caymans properly rather than refusing them outright. Keep receipts and installer details handy, as they help speed up both the quote and any future claim.
Cover for a Taycan works much like any comprehensive motor policy, but there are EV-specific points to check. We make sure the battery pack is covered (leased or owned), home charging equipment is included, and cables are protected against theft. Repair costs on EVs can be high, so it's worth confirming whether approved Porsche Centres are used for bodywork.
Cayennes, Macans and 911s are all theft targets, so we build cover around prevention and recovery. A Thatcham-approved tracker, secure garaging and a good immobiliser often unlock lower premiums. If the worst happens, you report the theft, notify police, then contact your insurer's claims line - the tracker usually helps recover the car within 24 to 48 hours.
Plenty of our Porsche customers are Porsche Club GB members or part of regional owners' groups, and several of our panel insurers recognise club membership as a positive underwriting factor. Mention your membership when you get in touch and we'll factor it into your quote alongside any agreed value or limited mileage terms you need.
For most standard Porsche models we can quote over the phone and arrange cover to start the same day. Imports, heavily modified cars and higher-value 911 variants may need a few extra checks, but our UK-based team will tell you straight away what we need and keep things moving.
