I use the same company for my house, and three cars. American National. They have regular car insurance for my wife's Macan. My two cars have agreed value "gold" policies for cars over 25 year old. I had to get an appraisal on the 911 and show the Hagerty valuations for the 911. The most expensive vehicle to insure is the Macan. Likely for the cost of repair of just a fender bender.

Back in 2017, while in California a crazed deer tried to jump through my windshield. She crushed the trunk, and and dented the left fender and destroyed the windshield. I called my agent, and he found a windshield place in San Diego. I had the fun of driving the 405 in LA at rush hour with a windshield that was smashed. They installed a new Sigla windshield, and I drove it home to Oklahoma. The adjuster came to look at it, and said I could get three estimates and pick the place I wanted. I went to two body shops I know the owners of and they specialize in expensive cars.

In the end I knew who I wanted to fix it. A small shop in Guthrie, OK just 18 miles from my house. My instructions were simple, make it look like this never happened. It was just the ultimate bug hit. He repainted the front valance, bumper found a used hood, and two fog lights, headlight rings and made it perfect. Pretty much everything from the windshield forward. It still looks great.
