    Don't have my Prius yet but called to get a quote and was told full coverage with $250 deduct would be $419/6 months. That's through Progressive & we haven't had any accidents and only 1 speeding ticket that was over a year ago.

    ETA: Can't find my full writen out notes on the total $ coverage though I think it's close to what you posted.

    Why 6 months ? I voted wrong for $500-600 because I thought it was a year. Can I change a vote ?

    All prices Canadian (About par with US $ now) and include taxes and $119 provincial insurance paid with license. I'm in Quebec, Canada near Ottawa regional pop ~ 1 million ?

    I just changed to a cheaper insurer for the Prius I'm getting tomorrow. :) Previous insurer would have me paying about $800 per year. New insurer (RBC Insurance, bank related) has me paying about $550 per year (taxes in).

    Married male, mid-40's, 1 small speeding ticket in last 3 years, no claims in last 7 years, apparently good credit (!) and other discounts including multi-vehicle (Wife's car), online discount, and "combined discount" whatever that is.

    I think there's a 5% Hybrid discount in there too. And then there's special points for paying on RBC Visa. :canada:


    Main Use:Commute
    One-way Distance to Work:30 kms
    Kilometers Driven Per Year: 20,000
    Third Party Liability Coverage:$2,000,000
    Collision or Upset Deductible:$1,000
    Comprehensive Deductible:$500

    Got a quote from USAA today anticpation of (some day) having the ship with my Prius come in - $388 for $500 collision deductible, 50/100/300 liability (need to bump up the liability a bit, I think).

    I have USAA also. You might want to get an umbrella policy if you want to bump up your liability. A $1mil policy is pretty cheap and increases your liability protection on your homeowners' as well.

    I was paying a good chunk of change because I had some insurance points against me but after I took a traffic school online course, I am now paying only $600 per 6 months for full coverage.

    I answered: Less than $400 with $250 or 500 Collision deductible

    But actually, my 6 mo cost is $282.05 with 1000 deductible.

    Reductions for:

    Multiple line: 79.57
    Multicar: 65.60
    Driving Safety Record: 272.21
    California Good Driver: 70.52
    Loyalty: 61.93

    Without all those deductions, it would be $831.88, and I would be with another company, most likely.

    I am insured with State Farm.

    Thanks to "long term" discounts for having had the same company (Farmer's Ins. Group) / the same agent for about 11 years, as well as for having had no moving violations / tickets, no wrecks and only one claim -- somebody creased our right-rear door just a bit about six months ago while we were parked in a WalMart parking lot -- over that period ...

    ... our rate is about $230 for 6 months; that's with a $500 deductible for collision / liability and fairly standard medical coverage, uninsured motorist coverage and so on ....

    As mhawkin1 noted above ... I believe we also get a break due to our credit history / rating, as well as an additional discount for having our home-owners' insurance with the same company.
