That's a pretty decent quote. I pay about $55/month through Indiana Farm Bureau, which comes to about $660/year. I'm 27, married, house, and another vehicle also insured through them.

You're going to get a lot different opinions on this, is this full coverage or not, your age, your record where you live, you get the idea. I think its great, mine is $944 full coverage in Houston, Tx, also I'm trying to get them to cover all my mods. Congrats and good luck! L8R THE FLASH

You don't say how old you are, but that will make a difference in what you pay, as well as your location, driving record, etc.

I'm currently with a company called State Auto - had rates much lower than USAA, State Farm, Farmers, etc. Your best bet is to just check with a number of insurance companies in your area, including independent agents, and see what they can do for you.

Location location location fallowed my age age and age..followed my driving record driving record driving record...

... Plus the age of the car and how many cars you have insured....

I own a C2 three C's a C4 and a C5... I use the National Corvette Museum for my insurance and the total is $898 a year total for all 6 cars...the older ones are only inured for 1000 miles a year the C4 for 3000 miles a year and the C5 for 6000 miles a year

Years ago when my brother lived in Baltimore County he was paying twice what I was when we both owned one corvette BUT when he moved to Marylands' Eastern Shore his rates were less then mine were..in the Western part of the state.... Location location location.

hard to compare states , driver record, age, claims, coverage etc . Not enough info to give an opinion on your amount could be good or bad, plenty of variables

I live on Long Island, NY and pay about 1200.00 per year. State Farm, 1k deductable, 7500 miles or less per year, 0 deductable full glass, no tickets, no claims in the last 5 years. Location and age are the two big factors in pricing and driving record follows closely. I have shopped around and this is the best rate with the coverage I could find.
