Default Insurance!!

Where do you guys go for your insurance? It kills me to spend all this money on insurance when the car spends most of the time in the garage. I live in NJ and it is absolute rape that they charge what they do!! Thanks

I live in SE NY (West Nyack) and use Geico; unfortuantely they don't offer coverage in NJ.

You might IM say Mr Mojo as he lives in NJ and I believe has decent coverage.

Also, since you don't drive it much, maybe you can get limited use coverage, though I can't recommend any such agencies.

Bummer, I'm Geico as well and pay $500 a YEAR. Of course, my baby isn't worth much in their eyes (won't even OFFER comprehensive), but it's cheap.

:D

I live in Nebraska. Grundy insured my 64 coupe and 87 roadster for $515 per year, including $500,000 liability. Definately has to be used for hobby driving, no daily drivers.

It stinks!! You would think they would have some kind of limited use insurance. i can only drive one car at a time. Glock, you and me have the same cars, i also have a 93 s-10 and a LT-4! Strange :crazy:

State Farm $166 a month. I am 23 and live NW of detroit. When I was in Grand Rapids it was only $100 a month. I don't think they know of my ticket, because I asked when I moved why it was so much and they said it was because of where I live. :eek:

I could post my insurance, but its not really worth it. A big difference in insurance rates is where you live and your driving record. My insurance changed $300/year from moving to a different town. If I moved to a major city my insurance would double.

:iagree: It is unfortunate that the rates are so high, but then again, insurance is a BUSINESS that must turn a profit to remain in business to provide insurance. What we don't see is the payouts for totalled vehicles every single day. I don't like my premiums here in SoCal either but I have come to just live with it. My '93 is paid for, but I won't drop the collision portion because I don't have 10K laying around to replace it should there be an accident. I could just drive without insurance and then suffer the consequences should I ever be involved in an accident and have to face $$$K bills for property and medical bills. I'd rather not do the latter. I have a family and house to protect.

For my CE Vert and 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP my wife and I pay a little over $2,000 for full coverage. $1,000 deductible. The company is USAA. If you have been in the Airforce it is a great deal. Homeowners insurance through them too.

yeah, USAA is the best for military people that I know of. I'm 22, with the '94 Vette and a Honda and I pay $130/mo for full coverage at Moody AFB, GA.
