Targa 4S Uninsurable?

That's inaccurate. My '22 GTS is insured with Progressive. December two years ago, I switched my auto, umbrella and homeowner's insurance from USAA to Progressive. I was a 30 year plus customer of USAA with one hail claim on a former home and a wind damage claim on an 1884 Carrera back in the early 1980's. No driving record or credit score issues. Once I bought a BMW M850ix, USAA wanted to practically double my overall auto bill after trading in a 2017 991.2 C4S. So, I checked Progressive where I already had two boats and a motorhome insured (subcontracted to Progressive by USAA). Progressive gladly took my business at less than ½ the quote from USAA. I inquired folks at USAA about the sky-high rate increase and did not receive a logical explanation given I traded a more valuable car for the BMW. Same thing happened to my mom and dad a few years prior but when it happened to them, I was baffled and thought at the time they made a wrong decision.

Maybe Progressive has changed their rules, or it has something to do with which State you live in? I'm in Florida and in November 2021 Progressive told me their coverage limit was the $150K when I was shopping insurance for my Panamera. I don't doubt what you're saying, I just think it's strange that Progressive would say different things to different people. Sign of the times I guess. Or maybe in your case it's different because you have so many things insured with them???

Anyone insured through Porsche Insurance? If so what's your experience in the event you've had a claim?
My '23 GTS is hopefully just over a month out, but I'm poking around on what my options are. The initial quote I got through my current provider, USAA (Texas), was out-of-this-world high! I just got a quote through Porsche Insurance and came out at ~$1,200/year with 5K miles of annual use. This is almost a QUARTER of the quote from USAA...what's the catch? As far as coverages I loaded-up with effective parity in coverages, but again am I missing something?

I reached out to my Allstate agent today. Didnt even give them my details or customer number, just said I'm an existing customer. Automatically insure $250k, and they would go up higher with proof of MSRP. And that Umbrella can cover basically anything above. So far I'm happy. Been a customer of theirs for over 10 years since a certain red shirted agency agent screamed at me on the phone because I asked about a refund overpayment as a college student (about 2 months after it was overpaid). Its the little things.

P.s. if you're a PCA Member, be sure to mention it when getting quotes and talking about discounts. Saved me 10% with Hagerty.

Are there restrictions on insurance for luxury cars and sports cars?
Sports car restrictions vary by insurer, and not all insurance companies insure all high-end vehicles. At Progressive, we'll likely cover your luxury or sports car, but we don't insure cars valued over $150,000. If your ride is worth more than that, you may want to consider a specialty insurer.I'm pretty sure it's okay. If Progressive underwrites a policy for a car that's worth more than they're supposed to be willing to insure, that's Progressive's mistake and I think legally they would be required to cover the full, actual value of the car. That said, I'm not personally willing to risk the difference between my car's value and their policy maximum on "I think they're required to cover it", and I have a feeling that dealing with Progressive in such a situation would be about as enjoyable as pulling teeth.
