What is the best rate you have gotten? I'm being offered $149.
Is that their lowest? Thanks

For the past several years, I have paid $77. They came out and offered that price because my car is only on the road for six months of the year.

Now I have two vehicles with it and their offer was not anywhere near what I am willing to pay. As much as I like listening to it, well, they will have to get by without my money.

Yes, the best OnStar offer we see here is the $149.

XM can be had for $77.

I've grown fond of OnStar's tire pressure channel.

Thanks for the info. Got my rate dropped yesterday. I can now buy an extra two gallons of gas a month.

Like others, I just renewed for $149/yr including 100 minutes. Plus, be sure they rollover your un-used minutes.

Thanks for everyones input. I just renewed for $148.92 for 14 mo. I also got the 100 free min. + rollover. I told her that I saw on the Corvette Forum that a member had gotten 100 free min. for renewing and she said that they can give from 30-100 min. free. SO next time you renew remember to ask for the free min.
Once again ,Thanks Everyone!!

I renewed yesterday for the wifes TBSS and got 3 months free, 100 more minutes free and $148.92 for the 12 months.
Basically 15 months for $148.92 plus the 100 additional minutes. Not too bad. I did tell them my wife enjoyed the safety and comfort of Onstar and this got me the 3 months free.

Does anyone know if OnStar offers a six month deal, similar to what XM offers? Because of where I live, the car is garaged for six months.

OnStar would do good by itself if it offered a lower rate. It is a joke that they want $149 for what it offers.
