2005 E55 Black
I pay $231 for 6 months full coverage on the E55 or $462 for the year. However I put the car in storage for 4 months during the winter so it drops to about $60 for that period. My total annual policy is $1480 with a Lexus, Acura MDX, E55, a trailer and 2 recreational vehicles. All full coverage with $500 deductible on the autos. USAA, no tickets or accidents in over 10 years. And there is a rebate each year depending on how the financial year went for USAA. Usually a couple hundred dollars gets put into a subscriber savings account. I have over $3000 in that fund.

I pay $950/year total for a 2004 E55 and a 97 Porsche 993. Full coverage on both. But I am an old guy (60) with no tickets and also insure the house with the same company which is Erie Insurance.

So I was a bit succesful in getting Progressive to reduce the rate, but it appears that $1,520 is the best they will do. Unfortunately my wife renewed the policy on 9/4, so I'll re-open my search process again in February, when the current policy expires. This is for three cars (Excursion, Mazda 6, E55), with the e55 and truck at low mileage (6K/yr) and the Mazda 6 at 12 K/yr., $500 deductible and 50/100/500 liability. No claims, clean driving record (all tickets gone) for my wife and I.

Just sold the E500 and Turbo, surprisingly small reduction on total policy cost as the Turbo was very low annual mileage (3k/yr) and the E500 only 10K/yr.

Thanks everyone for all the info, it helped a bunch -

04 - 06 e55 Wagon - looking for
FYI, I just called AAA for a quote on adding an e55 to our policy today. I am about 2 miles from you.

15/30/25K property/500 deductible

$948/yr 5K - 7.5k miles
$1026/yr 7.5k - 10k miles
$1095/yr 10k - 15k miles

$1328/yr 7.5K miles max at 15/30/1 Million property /500 deductible

I wrote these numbers down pretty quick. I'll PM you when the quote comes in the mail.

I have a few tickets on my record, been with AAA for 8 years. Those numbers will drop due to multi car discount and also if they can write insurance on my house (though I don't think they can come close to what I am paying now for home insurance).

Thanks...my policy is up for renewal in February and I will be looking again at that time.

FWIW, I tried AAA in the past but they would not cover the Turbo or my Cobra as a new customer. Turbo's now gone and the Cobra is with a specialty/classics insurer (for only $420/yr).

Well, let's just say that with age comes wisdom, caution, patience, and concern for one's fiscal situation.

I still drive like (to quote a friend) "Mario on speed" (but not sure if he meant the Super Mario or Andretti variety) but have learned to have better situational awareness (i.e. don't blast past clumps of traffic, watch out for the "onramp swoop", etc.) and I use every electronic aid available.

In my younger days I twice had my license suspended, including spending a night in the Apple Valley jail (don't try to outrun a cop when you're driving an old Italian beater! ), and paid the price in higher insurance and lower credit rating as a result. Leason learned...just took 15 years or so.

I can't believe some of these rates! 900$ , 1200$ a year on your E55s? Am I missing some thing here? I pay 3800$ a year in NY with Geico.

The E500 I can understand, but the Turbo is classed as an exotic and (I would assume) has a similar replacement cost and risk.

No tickets (wife has 2, both speeding ), and we have 4 cars insured, no claims in the last 7 years.... So Cal area, only 12K annual mileage on the E55...seems like time to start looking for quotes from other carriers!

Try Wawanesa insurance. They don't have the middle man and that's why it cheap. Their headquarter is in San Diego on Friar Rd.

You guys have it good down there! I'm in the insurance biz and this is the best we've got. Well, not the best, but my insurer doesn't know about my traffic violations. I haven't tried to move it (and I know I could get less, but not much) cuz they'd pull a drivers abstract and they wouldn't touch it. Better to let sleeping dogs lie!
I have Wawanesa which is a primary player in Canada but they do Cali and Oregon in the states. Best ins.co on earth....It is $899 a year for a E55 and a Burb. 100-300 full coverage and 500 deduct. They are an A paper insurer so they just decline you if your not clean but if you can get approved you will be a happy camper.

Yup.....we've been with them for 8 yrs. now. Allstates insurance want to charges me $2000 more for the same plans with Wawanesa.. Too bad they don't sell fire insurance in some area. I would save alot more when combine cars and home insurance. Btw, Wawanesa offered to re-paint and windshield replaced on my Clk 430 and Slk due to rocks chips. They also replaced 2 AMG wheels due to pothole damaged and all I have to paid were the deductible on 3 differences claims. All 3 claims were never counted agaisnt me. The claimed on the Clk totals to about $7000, slk about $4500 and the 2 AMG wheels about $1100.

His wife crazy
Man, you guys are getting raped!! NC, Geico, $716 a year. That's with a 5 year good driving history and 2 comp. claims due to animal encounters, one of those over 9k on my '08 STI vs. 8 point buck.

OOPS!! Make that $717.00 a year. And that is for full coverage, 100,000/300,000 with a $500 on collision and $250 on comp deductible

$1228/year USAA 500 DED. 100/300/100 No Tix/Acc Looks like the rates are all over the place. You would think it would be more uniform than that. I thought that was what competition was for.

well - where you are located makes a big difference --- San Diego is not the cheapest place for insurance because car thefts and the border being so close.

its not oklahoma

I have similar rates to the ones posted.

Gotta pay to play in the land of So Cal sunshine. The lifestyle & weather make it worth EVERY penny compared to other parts of the country.
