I work closely with the Porsche Drive program for our dealership so feel free to PM for any questions or help getting set up.

This program is great because it bridges the gap between leases for some people or helps you decide if you really want to make a commitment in ordering one of these cars by letting you live with it short term with no commitment. Also can't beat renting one of these for a weekend to go drive or for special events where you want to show up in a nice car etc.

Got an email from Porsche that subscriptions and rentals are now coming to Vancouver. The rentals sound pretty appealing - the pricing sounds perfectly reasonable to me ($350/day for a Boxster/Cayman and $540 for a 911).

Only thing that stuck out to me is that insurance has to be provided by the renter. I know none of the credit cards would cover a rental of this value (I think they top out at $100/day rental cars) and I don't believe ICBC's Roadstar plan covers this either so where does one get insurance and how much does it cost?
For subscriptions the insurance is included in the monthly cost. For rentals it requires the user already have an existing insurance policy that transfers over to the car being rented similar to when you have a loaner car from service etc. I don't believe there is any extra charge in insurance for these short term rentals.

Theres currently some 992 C2S coupes, C4S coupes, C4S Cabs, couple Targas, Panamera GTS, and Taycan 4S. Models will vary as inventory get shuffled around and mileaged out.
