I was looking into signing up with them, but saw these reviews. Have you guys made a claim before, and how was the experience? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Our dealer has an arrangement with Fidelity where they will pay the times set in the Porsche service guide, whereas other companies use their own rate book and the car owner is responsible for the difference. Best bet is to check with your dealership and get what they recommend to minimize issues.

I guess I would expect aftermarket warranties to be hit and miss, but those reviews are pretty bad. Sounds like talking to your SA is key to make sure they have a good relationship with Fidelity. I've got about 1.5 yrs of CPO warranty left on my '13 C2S, but plan to get an extended warranty after that.

The reviews really are terrible. I was planning to purchase a Fidelity Platinum warranty when my original 4 year - 50k mile warranty is about to expire in May 2020. Now I am having serious second thoughts.
Any reviews or feedback on the Porsche Branded warranty? I know that it is actually through a third party, but maybe with Porsche support service is better.

I am in the same boat with many. Planning to get a warranty after cpo expires and have seen lots of talk here about Fidelity being first choice. Now I wonder. Seems interesting that there hasn't been any reaction from someone with actual claim experience on this forum. Most everyone seems to opt for platinum to get comprehensive coverage particularly for major items like trans, engine.,etc. If no one or few have had a claim, are we all kidding ourselves about the value of an extended warranty??

Since a few years back, they have raised the cost of luxury warranties substantially.
Check out Doug Demuro's Land Rover report if you want an example of why
We had Fidelity on our previous 987 sold by our Porsche dealer and it was a smooth experience for the 3-4 repairs we had done (went back to same dealer for all work).
