Insurance question. Geico policy more than doubled with C63 added

My original premium $2340 for 3 cars(2015 Lexus RX350, 2015 Maserati Ghibli, 2003 Silverado 2500hd Duramax). Added 2014 C63 Coupe and premium now is $4812. Tried to call them to find out why and all they can say is car parts and replacement value are high. Anyone have experience this? Other better alternatives? I have AAA for all my rentals and personal home, so have to call or drop by local office for a quote. Forgot to add, me and wife have clean records, over 45, living in the SF Bay Area, and over 750 credit scores. Only 1 claim, friend borrowed truck and hit parked car, less than $2k claim but was on my policy.

Bodily Injury Liability $300,000 per person/$500,000 per occurrence
Uninsured Motorist & Underinsured Motorist $300,000 per person/$500,000 per occurrence
Property Damage Liability $100,000 per occurrence
Comprehensive and collision Deductible: $500
Emergency Road Service and Rental Reimbursement

I had a 2011 Audi S4 that I traded on my 13 C63 and my insurance actually went down, then traded to my 14 507 and basically no change - sounds way high - I am in Boston and pay about the same for 3 cars, 16 X5, 08 335i and the C63 - C63 is about 850-900 a year same coverage you have (X5 is the most expensive on the policy) I use Ameriprise through Costco.

I have had Geico for 10 years . C43, Dodge RAM, Grand sport Corvette and CLS 250. I swapped out the C43 for an AMG GT and it jumped up 600 bones a year.

Interesting.

I traded by 2010 S4 in on my 11 C63 and my insurance increased just slightly.

Wow wow! I feel bad for you guys. Is this for 6 months? Or a year. I pay 380 for 6 months for same coverage as op. Def shop around doesn’t cost you anything to look.

Yeah agree. I don’t know what kind of driving records you guys have. I pay less than $100 a month for full coverage in NYC. My coverage limits are fairly low, but so are my deductibles. I also drive under 5k mikes per year which may affect my premiums.

Travelers - $600/half. One of 4 cars on the policy and grouped with Homeowners Ins.

Similar to BLKROKT, a limited use vehicle with less than 5000 miles per year.

I thought it was just me. My gtr only ran me $134 a month with Nationwide and now I am paying $300. Of course that was garaged in “de” vs DC but still. Progressive quoted me $750 a month with a straight face.

Just you and your wife? Kids on your plan? I'm at under $100/month with whatever recommended coverage is. No accidents or tickets. Not sure why it would go up by that much for you unless young driver or multiple accident/ticket multiplied by the introduction of a real sports car.

Just me and the wife with 16 yr old with a learners permit. Only way I can bring the premium down to under $100-200 a month is to lower the coverage. So far Progressive and Ameriprise are the best prices.

A 16yr old in a household with a C63 hahaha. You might as well tell your homeowners insurance that your kid is a pyromaniac and you run a match factory from your basement.

He just have his learners permit so he doesn't count as a driver. It's weird, I've added a few 911 turbos and Gwagon in the past 7 years and insurance only went up maximum $100 per month. I use a high limit from a previous accident with the wife and pedestrian so not worth it for a few k extra.

For me G63 is slightly cheaper to insure than C63. But with the C63 you're just adding $200/month. Also in your past seven years Geico was insuring two adults, not two adults and a teenager.

Im also in the Bay Area. Was paying $3300/yr with AAA, 100,000-300,000 bodily injury. deductibles collision/comprehensive $1000 and OEM equipment. Out of curiosity I got a quote if the car was under my pops insurance but was $2800, not much difference. everyone else quoted me much moreat the time. Fast forward almost a couple years I’m now with progressive, paying $2200. Same bodily injury but deductibles are at $500. Both policies have vehicle at 5000 miles a year. Also I am now 25 with a squeaky clean record so that probably helped.

i have no idea how you guys are paying even $100-150 a month. That’s insane. Must be something wrong in the Bay Area.

CA has the most uninsured and underinsured drivers in the country, both in absolute terms and proportion. That’s why.
