Where are the insurance brokers in here again???
Looks like Geico may have gotten wise to a ticket or two I got...

Ouch
I just got my 15.9 yo son on the '94 quattro and that's what I'm paying for 4 vehicles. Minimum insurance on the quattro, full coverage on the others, he's restricted.
WHAT are the tickets that you accumulated?
And unfortunately, where are you located....

I have a '94 540i and a '98 Volvo S70 GLT (Turbo I5) and together my wife and I cost $450 every 6 months.
Man, $1200 every 6 months... ****... that sounds like when I had my E39 and my wife didn't even have her drivers' license for NC yet... yikes. We paid just about $1200/6 months then!!!
Good luck w/ that

San Diego, of course one of the most expensive places to insure a car in the US.
Couple speeding tickets, nothing over 100 tho. How far back do they check?

well..in washington st. ...
...if I recall correctly, they can go back 3 years for standard moving violations, 7 years for serious violations like DUI, reckless, and similar.
After I got married, was changing up the insurance to better match what we need - learned something interesting.
My insurance co (regional company) saw a *big time* difference in a speeding violation that was more than 10 over. They almost bounced me because of one - one - ten over for some special coverage that we wanted.
Sooo...if you have a couple speeding ticks that are each a fair amount over the limit, that might explain the butt reaming...
bastards, eh!?

Ha - be grateful your not from Ireland my insurance costs 3300 EUR (equates to bout $4000) for a 520. And thats for a full clean license

whoa! why so high?
You'd think a company could make money for a lot less than that rate. Is insurance highly taxed?

Not really - you see in Ireland we got lots of muppets who hurtle around in little cars and cause a lot of accidents. As a result, people in a similar age bracket (me) who drive carefully are subjected to huge premiums. Also the insurance market here is so much smaller than most other countries that higher premiums are needed for companies to make profit.

NC is a screw for insurance....you just can't call GEICO or some national number you have to talk to someone who is NC enrolled or something. We were paying roughly 1100/6 months back in 94 when we married because of "hotrod's" driving record (every drive was Paris-Dakar when she was behind the wheel, hehe). How we're at 387/6 mo for a 93 E34 and a 95 Vol 850. One ticket and watch that double though. :P
TC, I'd shop around. I cut my rate by 1/3 when I bailed from GEICO and went to Nationwide. Look for those homeowner discounts, too.
