Oh ok but i know its gonna be abit expensive because it a 2 door and a sports car ryt. But if the insurance will get me around 100 then that would be awesome.
From the sounds of it, you're a new driver and presumably a younger guy.. insurance isn't the best to us.

A lot of factors to take into account... age, how long you've had your license, accidents, deductible, area and so on.
I would talk to your current agency, do a bunch of online quotes for yourself to get a baseline idea of what its going to cost you.

I personally pay 208 per month, Im 22 and have been insured for 5 years. 1 accident (50% fault)Not in the S
In BC luckily there is no age/gender bias so the rates are just based on time driven (5% discount per year).

Lol, 43% discount Dave!

When you first get your licence you start off with a Claim Rated Scale of 0 (which means no discount). With each passing year you go down (i.e. to -1 = 5% discount). Max = -20 (still 43% discount). Discount is based on principle operators driving record. If you have an at fault accident, all bets are off!

Dave that's insanely lower than I was expecting was possible. Are you paying $0.90 a litre for premium too? =p I'm paying $130 a month which is actually less than I was expecting due to a couple accidents I was in a few years ago.

I almost ended up at +40% over after my second accident but luckily how things work out is the changes didn't take affect until the following year which resulted in a substantially less % over. I recommend if you are in a very minor accident and at fault and you can settle it outside of ICBC to do it. It's the second one that bites you.

I've never had an accident..., pretty sure that is what they told me I was paying, now it may be that is just the ICBC portion or the private insurance portion..., Alex, your the expert, is that possible?
