Hagerty let’s you choose how much you get for your classic if it’s written off though and it’s not disputable, unlike ICBC which goes with market price.

Also, I thought this too... BUT, if you have more than 1 collector plate car, Hagerty adds them to your policy for a only a fractional amount since I guess they realize you can’t drive more than 1 car at once... so for example when I looked at my MR2 the Hagerty optional coverage at a $35,000 replacement was like $1,100 whereas it’s only ~$300 on my collector plates, but no way ICBC is going to pay me out $35k+ for that car and when I added my Mustang and Prelude in, it only went up to like $1400 so they were charging only a hundred bucks or so for each additional car.

So it does have its usefulness that way. I haven’t done it yet but I’m considering it.

I'll look into it again. The e30 will be easy to get what its worth, even from ICBC, but the e36 could be VERY hard. The money people have offered me for it (and the money I've spent on it) is WELL above the e36 m3 market.

Response from Porsche Drive CS regarding BC insurance requirements :pokerface:

Hi.

We haven't read your email thoroughly and will answer with this generic copy paste.

Please give us some money.

I hope there is an update soon on the insurance because I'm very eager to book a weekend for my birthday next month.

There's always a Porsche waiting for you when you visit Toronto. :troll:

Father's Day is also looming and it's a great excuse for me to light $800 on fire on a Porsche.

I believe you call that a self-care day.

That's our spa day.

Still no guidance from Porsche or Porsche dealers regarding insurance. I find it absolutely bizarre that they would launch a niche rental service like this one and ignore insurance requirements.

And it looks like the program is already running in Vancouver, so are the participants renting the cars with inadequate insurance?

sport mode and no insurance

I love to see Cain VI these cars.

Hi guys,

Update regarding rental insurance - unfortunately bad news. After a conference call with the Porsche Drive team it seems we don't have a clear answer regarding rentals at the moment and are temporarily putting the rental side on hold.

ICBC has one understanding and the Porsche Drive guys have different one. We are just in the middle waiting for them to sort it out.

Subscription is unaffected and continue to be fully insured as long as term is 1 month minimum.

Will update you guys as soon as its all worked out.

Thanks for the update.

Rental agreements always say that you’re responsible for any tickets that you get while driving a rental... :troll:

ICBC finally got back to me to confirm that they definitely DO NOT cover high value rentals (confirming what we were pretty certain about)

This would have been a good weekend to cruise around in a 911.

I did see a IG post a few days ago of someone renting a 911 for the weekend so maybe Porsche is offering insurance now?

No update on insurance regarding rentals yet unfortunately.

The other problem at the moment is that since the program has been so well received so far in terms of subscriptions, that all our cars have been spoken for at the moment. We have been allocated a dozen or so more cars by Porsche since the program has been doing so well so if some of you are still thinking about it you should hurry.

So I guess it's O.K. to take a rental to the track.


LTT has rented one for a month.

So finally we do have an update regarding rentals - they are going to be available starting in July and will now include insurance in the rental cost. All rentals they reserve the right to check driver's abstract as a qualifier to use their insurance.

The caveat is again vehicle availability - cars will be prioritized for the subscription program.

Track use is prohibited and there are GPS trackers and dataloggers to monitor these cars.

Does this apply to daily rentals only? or does the restriction apply to subscriptions as well?

Looks like there's at least one 911 available to start the month of July, no 718s in July/August far as I can tell.

Might pick it up for the 5th as I have the day off but the hot weather has me thinking I'll wait a week or two for something a bit more normal.

I'm having trouble rationalizing why the Porsche rentals thread is 4 pages long?

Do that many people want to pay out the nose to rent a Porsche? lol

Even if I felt like setting money on fire, I'm sure it would be a very benign experience just from the sheer number of restrictions placed on you and the fear of fucking something up and being on the hook for it.... doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to me, paying tonnes of money to clench my ass for 48hrs.
