I know we’ve done this before but a couple of things make me want to ask now. As the below article states New Jersey again tops the country for highest car insurance rates. And my daughter just became a licensed driver which jacked up my rates. I know that there are different levels of coverage so it’s not possible to make an exact comparison so let’s keep it simple.
I have one 2016 SUV with full coverage and a 1999 Mercury with collision only. I was paying $1450 until my daughter passed her test. We are the only drivers in the household. Now I’m paying $2500.
I just sent the check. I drive a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I have full coverage and 100 deductible with towing and rental car coverage. I pay $245.00 twice a year. My wife’s car is a 2013 Jeep Patriot with the same type of coverage, and hers is $325.00 twice a year. This breaks out to $1140.00 a year
2006 Scion and 2011 Kia, full coverage including car rental, emergency road service, etc on both, 2 drivers. State Farm Insurance, $960 a year in a ‘good’ suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.
I paid about $1400 CAN for the basic plate coverage for my 2010 CRV, and about $450 for an additional package policy, for a total of about $1850 CAN (approx. $1415 US).
2003 Porsche Boxster, 2009 Chevy pickup, 2012 Hyundai Sonata, all have full coverage, but we don’t have towing or rental options since we have enough vehicles for a spare. Two drivers over 60, truck driven rarely, the other two driven daily. $1000 deductible on all options.
$1500/year in Amish country of southern Maryland.
There’s also a Harley that costs us $172/yr - I didn’t include that.
Three vehicles: 2004 Ford F150, 1984 Buick Regal, 1997 Chrysler Town and Country. Six month premium is 454.81. All have liability, medical payment, road service, uninsured driver and underinsured driver. The Ford adds collision, comprehensive, total disability and partial disability.
Oops, I came across the bills and I mis-stated it. about $1000 CAN for basic plates, then $450 for the additional package policy, for a total of $1415 CAN (about $1110 US).
