Insurance Costs?
« on: September 03, 2016, 05:49:55 AM »

reading another thread and it got me thinking. i have seen several people reporting widely varying prices on their insurance. i thought it might be helpful to the masses to get a sense of what others are paying, and the companies they are using. maybe save us a couple bucks in the process.

i'll start;

GEICO Military Division, -  No tickets, no accidents, no claims, perfect driving history

2016 Zero FXS

Bodily Injury Liability                                                        $15,000/$30,000 = $17
Property Damage                                                              $10,000             = $15
Uninsured/Underinsured - waived (i got good insurance ;D)
Comprehensive                                                                 $500 Deductible  = $38
Collision                                                                           $500 Deductible  = $329
Towing & Labor Costs                                                                                 = $12

Total 12 Month Premium                                                                             = $411

Progressive, $87 a year, which includes multiple-bike, old folks, and long-time customer discounts. For this amount I get the following:

Bodily Injury Liability                                                        $250,000/$500,000
Property Damage                                                               $100,000

In 2009, I only paid $5 a year from Progressive for the same coverage on my 2009 Electric Motorsport GPR-S.   :o

I bought a '16 S as my first motorcycle and paid $1000 for the year for Progressive (other companies were right around this figure as well).

Seeing the low costs posted in this thread give me heartburn...Can I expect to pay significantly less next year? Do you all have many years of unblemished experience?

I pay somewhere in the middle of this range ($500/yr) for two Zero's and a V-Strom and no cars with Progressive.

I'm in my late 30s with a few accidents over ~10 years.

I had progressive, but my rates went through the roof after a single car accident last year (I accepted fault, but it was simply a car door that opened in front of the trailer--I was pulling out of a parking space very slowly). For whatever reason, Geico came in much lower. My Geico liability with 3 bikes with 100k/300k + 50k property damage is $283/year. The Zero comprehensive/collision with $500 deductible is an additional $121/year = $404/year total

Just dropped my bike and discovered I somehow didn't have collision insurance :(

But on Geico my comprehensive with a 1k deductible is $300. That doesn't seem right, and 1k of added collision is another $860/yr. Wtf!

2015 SR, Maryland, no points, no accidents...

Bodily Injury Liability                              $53.00
$50,000/100,000

Property Damage Liability                       $11.00
$100,000

Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury              $27
$50,000/100,000

Uninsured Motorist Property Damage       $8

Total = $99

With collision and comprehensive (both with $500 deductible) the cost goes up to $500 a year, most of it due to the cost of collision...

This is the same cost as for my Vectrix for the basic coverage. Comprehensive and collision were a little bit cheaper on the Vectrix.

looks like progressive may be the winner.

did their online quote and came up with MUCH better coverage and $471 cheaper per/year for my 2 bikes.

kinda pissed at GIECO and their special "military" branch. i will give them 1 more call and give them a chance to make it right, if not i think i will be shopping all my current insurance needs now...

keep it coming guys,

It would help to mention the state where you insure. That's a *great* price below. Mine is higher, but not because of the "R", it just is - my '07 and '09 Vectrix had the same costs to insure, more or less as the '15 SR.

Zero SR $99 a year for basic coverage as listed above (which provides more than the basic coverage someone else listed). Adding collision and comprehensive adds about $400 on top. GEICO, in Maryland. Have not found a cheaper option (similarly, they are the lowest for my cars).

2015 FX full coverage, $250 deductible, $80 annual premium, Progressive.
