We will be spending the winters in Ft Myers soon, out of the cold north.
Would like to register the Vette in Florida, but can't seem to find any
insurance that is reasonable. Anyone have any good leads for clean
record drivers???
:wavey:
 
I use Amica. They don't really advertise but have one of the best overall and customer service ratings in the country:thumbsup:

I inusre my 87 vette, my daughters 89 Volvo (she's 19), wifes 2001 Volvo S80, and my 89 Landcruiser with them and love the rates:thumbsup:
 
I moved south 6 years ago from Ohio. When I switched registration to FL, my rates almost doubled :eek: I use Progressive
 
I agree with ^. If I move to North Carolina my rates would be half what they are here! Florida is becoming a very expensive state to live in!
 
USAA (for active, retired, dependents, or family of military personnel) has excellent rates and awesome service. They are based out of San Antonio. Hope this helps.

What year is your Vette? Rates vary a great deal between newer Vettes and classics.

I had Regressive, I mean Progressive. Got rid of them quicker than an hooker with Herpes:eek:

Saved about $300+ /month by doing so and got better (higher) coverages with Ameca.

I hope you've had better experiences with them than I did? For the most part thier customer service was....well....what customer service?:lmao:

Yeah, my brother had Prorated, err, Progressive. He got hit by an unlicensed 14 year old that pulled out into him from the side of the road, but Progressive claimed my brother was 30% at fault because he made an evasive manuever?!? (the other vehicle was insured by them also) My brother was not cited. Go figure. They wouldn't settle up with him for the full value of his truck and he wouldn't take the check they were offering. Two years later, they finally gave him the full amount. The games these insurance companies play.

:iagree:

Thanks for all the info so far. I have found that Fla just about doubles what I
am paying in Maine for insurance. The registration is much cheaper in Fla, but
the total costs of putting it on the road are still way above Maine. That is
surprising seeing as Maine now is the #1 highest state in over-all taxes. :eek:

Shadow, you don't by chance have a number for Amica do you??
 
I had really low coverage on my 98 SS Camaro and was paying almost $1800 a year through Progressive. I went through AAA as an agent and Travelers Insurance gave me 100/300 for $900 a year. My wife pays almost the same on her 96 Camry!
