Did a good deal turn out to be an under-performing, overpriced car insurance policy? Believe me, you’re not alone.
It’s an obvious assumption that car insurance companies want to keep you from comparing rates. Drivers who compare rates at least once a year are highly likely to switch car insurance companies because there is a good probability of finding lower rate quotes. A recent survey revealed that people who regularly compared price quotes saved over $70 a month compared to other drivers who never compared other company’s rates.
If finding the best rates on Porsche 911 insurance is the reason you’re here, knowing how to find companies and compare coverages can help make the process easier.
You have so many insurers to buy insurance from, and though it is a good thing to be able to choose, too many choices makes it more difficult to find the lowest cost provider for Porsche 911 insurance in Scottsdale.

Price data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, homeowner, multi-policy, claim-free, and safe-driver. Table data does not factor in specific Scottsdale garaging location which can influence premium rates considerably.
Using the premium rates above, we can conclude that using a $250 deductible could cost the average driver approximately $21 more each month or $252 for a full year than opting for the higher $500 deductible. Since you would have to pay $250 more to file a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you normally average more than 12 months between claim filings, you would probably come out ahead if you choose a higher deductible.
Rate comparison of males versus females in Scottsdale
The chart below visualizes the comparison of Porsche 911 yearly insurance costs for male and female drivers. The prices are based on no claims or driving violations, full coverage, $100 deductibles, marital status is single, and no policy discounts are applied.
Earn discounts on Scottsdale insurance
Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but you may qualify for discounts that could help you make your next renewal payment. Many discounts should be triggered at the time of purchase, but a few must be specially asked for before you get the savings. If they aren’t giving you every credit available, you’re just leaving money on the table.
- Responsible Drivers – Drivers who avoid accidents may receive a discount up to 45% than less cautious drivers.
- Government Employees – Simply working for the federal government can save as much as 8% with select insurance companies.
- Discount for Life Insurance – Insurance companies who offer life insurance give a discounted price on car insurance if you buy a life policy as well.
- Memberships – Being a member of qualifying clubs or civic groups could earn you a nice discount when getting a Scottsdale car insurance quote.
- Good Grades Discount – Excelling in school may save you up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Despite the appearance that it’s possible to get free car insurance, that’s just not realistic.
The information below compares Porsche 911 yearly insurance costs with and without discounts applied to the policy rates. The premiums are based on a male driver, no driving violations, no at-fault accidents, Arizona state minimum liability limits, comp and collision included, and $1,000 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, marriage, claim-free, homeowner, safe-driver, and multi-car discounts applied.
A few popular companies and their possible discounts are outlined below.
- Travelers includes discounts for early quote, payment discounts, IntelliDrive, save driver, student away at school, and new car.
- 21st Century may offer discounts for theft prevention, homeowners, good student, automatic seat belts, and teen driver.
- State Farm has savings for good driver, multiple policy, anti-theft, defensive driving training, multiple autos, and accident-free.
- GEICO offers discounts for anti-theft, good student, military active duty, multi-vehicle, five-year accident-free, and seat belt use.
- SAFECO discounts include homeowner, safe driver, teen safety rewards, teen safe driver, and accident prevention training.
- AAA may have discounts that include multi-policy, education and occupation, AAA membership discount, good student, multi-car, pay-in-full, and good driver.

Porsche 911 Insurance Premium Factors
When buying car insurance it’s important to understand the rating factors that help calculate the price you pay for car insurance. When you understand what determines premiums, this empowers consumers to make smart changes that may result in lower premium levels. Multiple criteria are part of the equation when you get your auto insurance bill. A few of the factors are predictable like a motor vehicle report, although others are more obscure like your vehicle usage or how safe your car is.
The following are just a few of the factors companies use to determine your premiums.
-
Age of drivers – More experienced drivers are proven to be safer behind the wheel, cause fewer claims and accidents, and get fewer tickets. Teen drivers are known to be inattentive when driving so they pay higher car insurance rates.
The next chart assumes a single driver, full coverage with $100 deductibles, and no discounts or violations.
- Filing insurance claims can increase rates – Companies in Arizona generally give the lowest premiums to drivers that do not abuse their auto insurance. If you file claims often, you can pretty much guarantee higher premiums or even policy non-renewal. Your car insurance is intended to be relied upon for the large, substantial claims.
- Low credit rating equals high rates – Having a bad credit rating is likely to be a major factor in your rate calculation. Therefore, if your credit leaves room for improvement, you could be paying less to insure your Porsche 911 if you improve your credit rating. Insureds with very good credit scores tend to be more responsible than drivers with bad credit.
- Low physical damage deductibles can be expensive – The deductibles state the amount of money you are required to pay before a claim is paid by your company. Insurance for physical damage, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, covers damage that occurs to your car. A few examples of covered claims would be colliding with a stationary object, damage caused by hail, and damage from wind. The more money you have to pay, the bigger discount you will receive.
- A car insurance policy lapse can increase rates – Driving with no insurance is a misdemeanor and you may have a hard time finding new coverage because you let your insurance expire. Not only will you pay more, being ticketed for driving with no insurance will get you fines or a revoked license.
-
Loss probability for a Porsche 911 – Car insurance companies analyze claim trends for every vehicle to calculate a price that will offset losses. Models that have increased claim numbers or amounts will have higher premium rates. The table below shows the actual insurance loss data for Porsche 911 vehicles.
For each coverage type, the loss probability for all vehicles, regardless of make, model or trim level, is equal to 100. Numbers below 100 indicate better than average losses, while percentage values above 100 indicate higher probability of having a loss or a tendency for claims to be larger.

- What does PIP insurance cover?
- Do I pay less for low miles?
- If my car is totaled with they pay enough to replace it?

- Is coverage determined by price?
- Do they assist clients in filing claims?
- Do you qualify for any additional discounts?

Steps to finding discount Porsche 911 insurance in Scottsdale
It takes a little time, but the best way to get more affordable Porsche 911 insurance in Scottsdale is to compare quotes once a year from providers who provide auto insurance in Arizona.
- Get an understanding of what coverages are included in your policy and the measures you can take to prevent rate increases. Many rating factors that result in higher rates such as accidents, traffic violations, and a poor credit score can be controlled by making lifestyle changes or driving safer.
- Obtain price quotes from direct carriers, independent agents, and exclusive agents. Exclusive and direct companies can only give rate quotes from one company like GEICO or Allstate, while independent agencies can quote rates from multiple sources. View a list of agents
- Compare the new quotes to your existing policy to see if you can save by switching companies. If you find a lower rate quote, make sure coverage does not lapse between policies.
- Give notification to your agent or company to cancel your current auto insurance policy and submit a down payment and signed policy application to the newly selected company. Be sure to put the new proof of insurance certificate somewhere easily accessible.
An important bit of advice to remember is to try to use the same amount of coverage on each quote and and to get price quotes from all possible companies. Doing this enables the most accurate price comparison and the best rate selection.
