So I recently moved into DC, a couple blocks north of the Dupont metro. Between that and selling the e30, I had to make a couple insurance policy changes. Here's my history:
Policy setting #1 - GEICO
Location: Arlington, VA
Age: 24
2005 Subaru WRX STi - Primary car - 15k commute miles
$2200 year
Policy setting #2 - GEICO (added BMW as daily)
Location: Arlington, VA
Age: 24
1990 BMW 325iS - Primary Car - 10k commute miles
2005 Subaru WRX STi - 5k pleasure miles
$1700/yr
Policy setting #3 - GEICO (turned 25)
Location: Arlington, VA
Age: 25
1990 BMW 325iS - Primary Car - 10k commute miles
2005 Subaru WRX STi - 5k pleasure miles
$1200/yr
Policy setting #4 - GEICO (moved to DC...really thought I made the STi my primary but apparently I didn't)
Location: DC (Dupont area)
Age: 26
1990 BMW 325iS - Primary Car - 1k pleasure miles
2005 Subaru WRX STi - 5k pleasure miles
$3200/yr (2000 for STi, 1200 for BMW)
Policy setting #5 - GEICO (sold e30)
Location: DC (Dupont area)
Age: 26
2005 Subaru WRX STi - Primary Car - 5k pleasure miles
$4100/yr
For the record, my record is 100% clean. No moving violations in probably 4-5 years, and whatever I had before that (two speeding) somehow got erased when I moved from NJ to VA. All coverage between settings has stayed the same (pretty low reliability numbers, $500 deductible for comprehensive and collision).
I mean, holy shit, GEICO. The reason for the $900 increase even though I dropped a $1200 car was because I lost $840 worth of 'multiple car discount' and made the STi my primary (which I thought it was, but I guess I checked the wrong box).
I'm currently in talks with Progressive. When I give them the VIN (WRX/WRX STi isn't in the drop down and isn't an option to a phone representative), I get quoted at $1500/yr (and this is with me upping my liability protection). That seemed low and I wanted to make sure my ass was covered so I verified the fact that it was "the fast WRX, the STi" and the representative was familiar with the car and "it has the turbo" but said that the VIN was in and agreed it was a low rate.
Not sure if anyone else here lives in DC, but I'm curious as to what everyone is paying.
