Insurance Quotes for USA owners
I did a search and found a thread about Canada insurance rates.
What rates are being quoted for US owners? I remember when I was in the market for an Evo 8 the rates were thru the roof and for other reasons the rates on an NSX for example is much lower. I'm wondering how the insurance companies are classifying the BRZ and how that affects the rates your being quoted. Thanks for any input guys! |

I've only seen one or two companies that actually had rates for the FR-S, but for the companies that didn't have rates for the FR-S and/or the BRZ, it has to be quoted manually, and the VIN won't help (but you'll still need to supply it if you end up insuring it). It varies from company to company, but if the rates aren't already set, they will be done manually and be based on the cost of the vehicle new (which will also dictate the numerical symbol to be used), the bodystyle (two-door hardtop in this case), the engine specs (cylinder count, displacement, hp) and the level of performance (indicated by a letter after the symbol). When it's a brand new car, just so I don't get stuck with insuring something that might be ridiculously expensive, I'd steer clear of buying a car right when it comes out. New model years are a different story, those aren't going to change too drastically from the model before it. |

I've been getting quotes from Geico for $1,034 / 6 months
This includes 100/300/100, 1k deductible collision, 500 glass. I'm 22 with only 1 or 2 speeding tickets on my record. Time to drop Geico! Can everyone list what companies you are getting these quotes through? |

I pay about $900 / 6months for a 2008 GTI right now so it's not a huge difference I just thought it would be a bit lower. I wish insurance companies actually take into consideration or give some discount if you have done any advanced driving schools like Skip Barber. Unfortunately Skip Barber doesn't qualify

Similarly, you can make a case for my car. I have an Evo, and it's gotten me out of sticky situations PLENTY of times where I may not have been so lucky in another car in that same instance. My car, and others like it, has pretty good hardware -- Brembo brakes can make the car safer since it can kill speed and stop in much shorter distances, the stock sportier suspension setup helps the car handle better, the AWD system and all of its differentials will help maintain grip better rather than sliding around, etc. But the bottom line is that it's still a performance car, one that people go hooning in, and the statistics support that... hence the crappy rates for my car. And it's not without warrant -- I drive very differently when behind the wheel of my girlfriend's Toyota Corolla. |
