SPYDER RT LTD Insurance

Hi 'Everyone",
I just got shocked to know that insurance for my 2015 RT LTD was doubled to that of my 2012 BMW K1600GTL. I was paying approx. $987 (100/300, Stacked, $500 deductible, full coverage) with Progressive. My new quote for the same coverage is $1,940 for the Cam-Am.

I live in the central Florida. Want to know if anyone out there is paying the same? Open to suggestions.

Try around, i only have liability and comp on my 08, no collision and only pay 350 a year. your at 161 a month. On my FZ6R site they recommended i think Ryder but they are not here in CA only the east side.
 
There's no way to accurately compare your policy to anyone else's; you need to ask your Independent Agent to shop you policy around for you, and see what they find...
Good luck! :thumbup:
 
I am noting that you are from FL. A high insurance premium state for sure. As Bob said, hard to compare apples to apples with insurance rates though, because everything is taken into account.

$161 per month sounds like a lot--since it was double from your BMW 1600--which is also a high dollar machine.

I pay $49 a month for full coverage on my 2014 RTS. State Farm insures my home, both :spyder2:'s, and my car. All vehicles have full coverage. I have a good driving record and have been with the company since 1965. YOUR RESULTS/EXPERIENCE MAY VARY.
 
First, your agent classified the Sypder as a "classic trike" - it isn't. Shop around, & find a company that knows what they are insuring. My insurance is high out here at $385/year.
 
I had Progressive on my 2005 GoldWing... after I sold it... I bought a 2014 Spyder RT limited... I too was shocked how much Progressive wanted to insure my Spyder.... I shopped around.... Geico was less than HALF the price of Progressive for the exact same coverage... I suggest calling Geico..

I had Progressive on my Gold Wing also but when I traded It for my new 2013 RTS-SE5 they wanted over twice as much for the :f_spider: around $ 550.00 a year, I shopped around and got Rider Insurance for $333.00 a year for full coverage..

As everyone has pointed out there are too many variables to compare rates... Age of rider(s), driving record, other policies held, geographical area, etc. That said some companies don't understand that a Spyder is not a motorcycle and set pricing off the wall.

we have two RT's and just received our renewal notice for the next year from Allstate.......$553 for both machines full coverage including trailers. (100/300..$250 ded.)

We're in good hands.

I too had Progressive on my 2011 RT and when I got my 14 Rt back in the spring i got the same sticker shock when I called to put my coverage on the new bike. The person asked me if they should change the coverage to the new bike after I had a melt down on the price they quoted me, told them to do what they want but i would be canceling my policy before I would receive the bill. Well, the very next day I got the same coverage with Rider Insurance. ....... I guess Progressive needs to pay big bucks for Flo.

She gets $500K a year for her efforts.
 
I was paying Dairyland $600 and something for my 2012 BMW 1600 GTL. The dealer got a quote from State Farm of around $800 for the new 2014 Spyder RT Limited. I went online with GEICO and got coverage for around $650.
 
I'd still call them

I have Dairyland Full coverage and I pay $ 249 12 mos. any mileage ..................It cost nothing for a quote !!!!!...........Mike :thumbup:
 
I have National General, 1-888-293-5108. Used to be GMAC Ins. Been with them for several years. Lowest I have found and they know what a Spyder is.
 
i have geico here in new york and pay 1800 for my 14 rt ltd

:shocked: Move to Texas! To be accurate, I may have misquoted the cost. My wife said we are paying either $52 or $62 per month (I'm too lazy to look it up right now) so at most it may be around $720. Still way better than $1800. And I live in Dallas county which has higher rates than many other Texas counties.

Does your full coverage include Uninsured Motorist? If I'm remembering correctly, the GEICO quote was three hundred and something till I added the Uninsured Motorist and that pretty much doubled the premium.

When I bought the Spyder, I couldn't get in touch with my Dairyland agent and I needed to get it insured, so I went with GEICO. After seeing your post, I will definitely be getting a quote from Dairyland and a couple of the other companies suggested here.
 
Thanks for the comment..

Thanks I thought it was just me, in this state. Geico is going to be my next call, then maybe ARRP?
 
My son-in-law was insured with Progressive and received a shocker at premium renewal time - $300 increase. His independent agent hooked him up with Foremost.
