Just try progressive, they have links to quite a few auto insurance companies. Get their best quote, then call GEICO. See what's best. I have Allstate and mine is very affordable (less than $75/month) but I'm not that young anymore either (39) Good luck!

I'm using State Farm. I pay more a month for my wife's 2003 Eclipse Spyder (GS 4cyl. convertible) than I'm paying on the new C6. Going from the Z06 to the C6 made my rate go up by just $3 over a six month period (negligible). I pay $260 a month for all three vehicles with considerably better than state minimum coverage (I'm 37).

State farm here. $400 every 6 months on an 02 Z06. BTW Farm bureau does not like Vettes for some reason and it does not matter what year.

26, Geico with two cars, 92 Vette (full coverage) and 94 Toyota Tercel (liabilities only), $530 for 6 mo. Cost with the 93 Camaro (full coverage), $750. I was also amazed at the lower insurance costs of a Corvette vs. Camaro.

I'm only paying 330/six months on the vette and 350/6 months on the formula. What company are you with? Allstate was by far the cheapest here in WA.

I just switched to S.F.B. They would not insure my corvette, so i had to wait unitl i sold it to switch. They said they don't insure corvettes unless you're a long time customer and even then they sometimes still won't do it.

just talk to them, tell them that you're getting the car and if they won't insure you that you'll have to switch all of your ins. to someone else.

I had a local TX company (Southern County Mutual) and had my Vette, Tahoe, Acura MDX (wife's) and 2 Harleys with them, plus my house. I had a Dodge Magnum right before the Vette, and they added the Vette, but cancelled it after 6 months as a high risk car. I told them I'd take everything with me if they didn't insure the Vette, and they said have a nice trip. So I went with Travelers and I pay $475/6 mths on the Vette with maxed out coverage (100/300/100). Bikes went to Progressive. I'm 33.

My bad, Harleys were with Dairyland...and they went up too much.
