Good insurance company that WILL insure an Aston?
SubscribeQuote:
I also have my Aston (and 2 BMWs and a Jeep) insured with Erie. I pay $1449/year for full coverage of all 4 vehicles at market (aka likely low) values. I have my Ferrari and GTO insured with Condon Skelly for agreed values. They would only insure the Aston as a special underwriting which was stupid expensive.Originally Posted by bluebarchetta
Long time with Erie Insurance. Been happy, they are a bit picky (like Amica). They're generally rated in the top three with USAA and Amica. Not available everywhere, but should be in Maryland. The insurance on my Aston is very inexpensive
While in GA I was with StateFarm. After moving to CA, I'm with Travelers.
Rates are comparable and not much higher than my daily driver.
Funny thing is, Travelers wouldn't quote me while I'm GA.
To further provide points, my policies were split amongst Nationwide and StateFarm when I'm GA. After moving to Cali, total premium has gone down with Travelers :-). Insurance is funny and really varies by region.
It's important to note that Travelers will demand all autos be covered by then to underwrite your policy.

Define cheap please.
Progressive priced the Aston initially around double of my M3 or the other BMW's.
Now after they revised our policy, they doubled the initial amount again.
I'm looking now at ~2900 annual for my Vantage.

I pay $1800/yr for my 2015 V8 Vantage, but obviously the car is only a small part of the equation... I'm 31, haven't been in an accident in nearly a decade, haven't had a ticket in eight years (+1 Escort), and live in a suburb.Originally Posted by Zettinger

When I was 17 and driving a 300ZX Twin Turbo, I was paying $3130/yr. lol

I'm with Grundy for my DB9. I had Progressive previously, but then I got a quote from Grundy and they were much cheaper. I've never had a claim with them, so I can't speak to that, but I'd recommend anyone shopping for insurance at least get a quote.
waiting for things to be finalized but it looks like i'll be able to go with geico for about $100/month.
Grundy just quoted me.
Aston is cheaper than progressive with right below $1300/year with unlimited miles.
However the quote for my other cars, I had to include to the request, is 1400 and 1900.
Hope I can only insure the Aston with them.
Thank you all for the clues, i'll try Mercury, Erie, Amica and Traveler's as well.
For the Stats:
38 y/o, Suburb, no at fault accidents (Lady ran a stop sign and hit my Z4 in 2012).
Geico and statefarm refused to insure the Aston to agreed value of 65k.

Those companies don't offer agreed value to begin with, so no surprise. Only a few specialty companies have agreed value policies, like Grundy, Hagerty, etc.Originally Posted by Zettinger

Amica will insure an Aston, but not agreed value because it is a traditional insurance company. I have 3 Astons + 2 daily drivers insured with them; all conventional policies.

Am I missing something here on the agreed value thing? I just added my Aston to my Geico policy. All they asked for was original price of the vehicle (which I listed as $119k) and if there are any additions (listed my wheels). They're quoting me right around 1200-1300/year after good driver discounts and all that.Originally Posted by XJRS Owner

Yes, you are. That is not 'agreed value'. Google it for more info.

Hmmm, so is there a way to find out how much you (or I) WOULD be paid under a standard policy that would only pay stated value/actual cash value?Originally Posted by XJRS Owner

No matter the car brand/year or what ever.
KBB would be a source to find the value not agreed.

Just go to ebay and do sort by lowest price (autotrader, cars.com etc), the first car that pops up within range of your mileage is probably what you will get if you wreck the car.Originally Posted by shootermcgav1n
