Default What do you pay for insurance?

Im 19 and i'm looking into an SS camaro. What kind of monthly payments am i looking at since it will be financed? Mother tells me it has to be fully insured, anyway around this? I'm a defensive driver and i dont get in accidents so...i've never really needed full coverage i've always gotten liability. Let me know guys, a 97 SS costs me 211 a month, with all the discounts i can get.

you have to get full, doesnt matter what other people pay. call a few insurance places, they're the only ones who can tell you your rate.

Famous last words. Not to be an a$$, but the reality is that you only have 3 years of driving experience. I'm 36 with some years of CDL driving and my last wreck had nothing to do with being defensive or any of that other BS. I simply hydroplaned and these cars are prone to hydroplaning.

Go with what your mom told you and get full coverage. Be smart and go a step further and get uninsured motorist coverage too.

deadlyz28 is right, you gotta call some places or go online to get quotes.

Not likely. I know everytime I have asked for a quote I needed to give them a VIN number.

Stay on your parent's policy as long as you can. If their driving record is good and have been with the same insurance company for a while (& perhaps have their home with the same company) you can save some money. Just pay them back the difference for having you and your car. Multi-policy and longevity are 2 things insurance companies value with their customers.

If your car has a leinholder, you will need comp/coll coverage.

Far and beyond the best place to go if you can get it. Geico, statefarm, allstate, etc...are ridiculously overpriced. I shopped around after realizing Progressive sucked at $150 a month which was to much for not having a recent ticket or wreck. Checked all those listed above was blown away at the quotes. Then found Amica and they quoted me at $110 a month, so I signed up only to realized I had totaly over looked USAA. Called USAA got more coverage, more benefits, less to pay a month, only $85. USAA is awesome! All these quotes are with full coverage. I'm 26.
