Default My insurance went up 50% from C6 to C7

I got quotes from some other companies and they were even higher. What up wit dis....'they said' that when a new model comes out they don't know how much it will cost to fix it so they guess high until the actual figures come out. Didn't happen when I went from C5 to new C6. In fact Ive been paying about the same for the last 20 years with slight annual increases and all Corvette.

Mine actually went down from the 2012 CTS-V that was previously on it. The Vette is extremely cheap to insure via USAA in NJ. Well....at least comparative to other performance vehicles (i.e. insurance in general is expensive in NJ). A BMW M3 would be double the cost.

Mine went down a little from what I was paying for my '08 coupe.

Mine was surprisingly cheap to insure. When I asked why so low - wanting to make sure I really had insurance - I was told because my wife and I have 3 cars and only two of them get driven at a time, the cost for the third wasn't that much. We've had 3 cars for years.

Mine went up a few dollars, I assume, attributable to the difference in value from a 2010 to a 2014 Corvette.

My insurance with USAA went up about $300.00 per year from my 2012 C6 coupe, to my 2014 C7 Vert. I consider it just the "cost of doing business"...

They are screwing you.

Talk to someone higher up and get them to cover you at a reasonable rate for the same coverage as your C6.

Carbon fiber hoods and roofs are much more expensive to replace, btw.

I pay 1350 annually on mine, at 27 years old and a clean record. Not that bad IMO.

I was quoted as high as 240 per month when looking around.

Some places are looking for a sucker and not minding screwing people over.

Mine went from 715.36 a year to 920.86. I think that's a fairly large increase.

That's a big increase. Maybe you should check your driving record and your credit rating.

Since I am retired and none of my 3 cars are "driven to work daily", they are all considered "for pleasure use".

My rate did go up some over my C5Z06, but it is still about $800/yr.
My 2010 Camaro is about $500, and Malibu is $430.

I know there may be better rates, but don't see how anyone could get insurance for $200/yr. Even just minimum liability would be more than that.

Mine went up $124/year from a 2012 Grand Sport to a 2015 Stingray. MSRP was the same, a tad over $70K for both cars, and the insurance increase was entirely due to the difference in value for collision coverage (at $1,000 deductible.) AMICA.

Agree price around.
59/mo full coverage c-5
71/mo full coverage c7

But...multi car, long time customer, multi policy/clean record discounts.

Also, some places steeply discount if you pay in full instead of monthly payments.
