I’ve had better luck with FL for my multiple residents between NY and FL for auto. The accident rates in NYC has spiked insurance rates to levels I didn’t think I’d be seeing. Hats off to the guy choosing the higher deductible offsetting the 6 month premium.

I am leaving Geico and going with Pure, who are quoting me $2814/YEAR which is still high but gives me agreed upon value for all my cars. I'm sure it'll go up next year, but that'll be a task for then. |

Insurrances are a big scam and the rates for bmw in NY are outrageous thanks to some stupid kids on the bqe playing games and end up crashing the M3....
Given the extensive rate hikes if you get into an accident I said to myself why not increase the deductible and have lower premium instead paying for insurance that I will not use unless major accident I learned from other peoples experiences that unless the accident is more then 3 to 4 k not worth to file a claim and better pay out if pocket and get ur car fixed given if u file a claim the rate increase will offset that over time and you end up paying much more then that This is was my reasoning behind choosing high deductible |

Progressive refusing to insure new customers with bmws in NY
All state called agent they said will get back to me... then said they don't want to insure I was with state farm with excellent rates until my wife got hit from the back by a a guy on his phone while she was on a red light (0 fault) went through the other guy insurance but we had to call the police... end point is state farm did not pay anything and we closed the claim because non fault accident and we went through the guys insurance One day we get a call from state farm and they dropped us because of too many claims lol I said we had only 1 claim in 2 years and it was 0 fault and it was closed and u guys did not pay a dime The guy from state farm said we had glass claims (2 with them for rock ships from the road) and tow claim (mind u it is from geico not from state farm 7 years ago for mechanical breakdown lol) Then I told the guy but we never had a collision or comprehensive claims and you guys never had to pay except for the glass claims which is separate Did not know what to answer and He said the underwriting said we are high risk lol Then I am back to geico I will keep shopping every few years but sounds like bmw and NY is not a good match and no one wants to insure us |

I know 911’s are generally less to insure because of the miles most owners put on them but $50k delta. For kicks and giggles I put in the vin for the rs6 performance I passed on, with Geico the premium was $700 less (every 6 months) than the m5 with an MSRP $16k more. |

When I bought my R8 last year, none of the major insurers would cover it. They all said “no high performance cars.” I had no problem getting my F90 covered with Travelers. But the R8 being double the value I guess scared them off.
Hagerty was my only option. Collectible Car policy. Full value coverage but I’m limited to 3500 miles a year, which is ok because I put less than 3000 on it for year 1. |

I would shop around as Geico may not be the best option. Insurance is also based alot on your area. You could add another policy for multi discount, up deductibles. Does NJ have more than one form of collision coverage? Some states gave 3 tiers |

Didn’t know hybrids and EVs repairs are costly but if I think about it, I shouldn’t be surprised. Regarding your other post. I live about 40 min from Manhattan. The port of Newark is probably 20 min away. Car thefts has become a huge issue in my town and neighboring towns over the last 3-4 years. It got to the point where thieves were breaking into homes to get access to car keys often. Someone I know got their home broken into while his wife and daughter were in the house. Stole a g wagon and an s class, left the 911 turbo. However, the biggest driver in my premium seems to be collision which I would say the cost of repair as you mentioned could be a factor and/or the stereotype of BMW drivers plays a large factor. |

Make sure whomever is your carrier you selected OEM parts If its an option and you have the abilty to chose who repairs the car. But odds are in a with all these hybrids shits getting totaled with the battery not being repairable haha.

Yeah, I think a V8 PHEV in a wreck is going to be totaled almost by default. The tech is just so integrated now and it’s all over the car, plus the added weight means more momentum and hence more damage. A compromised battery can’t be repaired, and replacements are astronomically expensive. Modern cars are basically disposable at this point.

I don't have a G90, but a g80 and Lexus GX460 and am paying $2640 for 6 months in Florida through Costco. Went through a dozen insurance brokers and they can't even come close to this price.
Homeowners insurance is much better especially if you have new construction. Its not easy to bundle auto and home since many insurance companies do not provide homeowners insurance. |

FL car insurance rates are high. My parents have homes in SC and FL, and it’s about half as much to insure their cars in SC.
