Does anyone know if there is an insurance increase if you make a claim for road hazard (ie windshield breaking) or theft?

Just insured my 00 s2k that I just purchased and my insurance went down $48 a year from my wife 98 volk beetle we traded in. Go figure. Makes no since to me but im not complaining. Unitrin rules. Most people havent heard of them but I've had them for 3 years and totaled 2 cars and they've been great about taking care of me. They beat everyone!

I still haven't found a reasonable deal for a young male, full coverage or liability, for an s2k.

So when you get your insurance policies, check what it says.

Pissed off.... Damn seat thefts I tell ya!

Needless to say, I'm going to start shopping. But I doubt I'll find better coverage for cost....
imin NJ and have USAA and my insurance just went from 2000 a year (full coverage) to 1710 a year, I went down to 1810 but AIG was going to give me a better rate at 1780, USAA beat their price to keep me as a policy holder, and the ass kicker is i got nailed for 4 insurance points and USAA did not pick the points up because it was not a moving violation (long story)

My insurance has never gone down since getting this car. Ever. No claims or tickets either. Wanna be scared? I am. Renewal is in june.



2003 rates are artificially low since that is the year I bought the car. Actual premium if I had the car for the full year was about $1150.

I just got my S2k last month so I cant really give any impression on it's insurance, but my Celica before, I consistantly had my premium drop every renewal with Safeco. From almost $650/6mo down to $514/6mo with a ticket and not-at-fault accident right before getting the S, and it only went up $100/6mo for me.

I'll be finding out how much more/less it changes from that in April.

Esurance is pretty cheap. You should get a quote.
