Default Insurance What do you pay?

I was paying Nationwide about 1150 on my SS Camaro, when I called about the new Z06 they wanted 1310. I have a clean record, no accidents in the last 10 years so I knew it was time to look. I made a couple of calls and ended up at The Hartford for 475 a year! Anyone getting a better deal anywhere else? :rant:

Tampa Bay. I pay $1310 per year but I also have a 19 year old Son living with us so that affects my rate.

$475 a year is less than half what I pay! Congrats! :cheers:

I am also surprised at Nationwide's increase. At one time I had a 98 Z28 and paid less insurance for a 99 Vette, same company, same deductibles, same number of cars, same everything. I was told Z28's and SS's have heavy accident records, consequesntly less for the Vette.

I need to make some calls. Thanks for posting this! :chevy :flag :chevy :flag

I remember those day's the kind of car I drove depended on the cost of insurance. Life does get better with age. :party: :party: :party:

Right at $1200/year with 50/100/50, $500 collision deductible and $250 comp deductible through State Farm. This is with it listed as a daily driver with approx 15K miles a year. That's only about $25 more a month than my 92 by the way.

What's your age? How much do you drive? Do you commute to work in it? I pay about $1200 a year in a Houston suburb. I rarely commute to work in mine.

Can you get a Hartford quote online? I went to their site and it said you could, then directed me to a local agent to call
???

I pay about $1,400 a year, with a $1,000 deductible. I'm 30, single, and perfect driving record. But I live in a high accident rate area (Long Island) that is infested with lawyers and frivolous lawsuits, and thus has some of the highest insurance rates in the country. :rolleyes:
