Insurance question on multiple car ownership
Those of you who own 2 or more cars (under your name only), what is the extra rate on your 2nd car?
I've never owned more than one car at a time but am thinking of keeping my old SC when I get a new car.
Just curious at how insurance rates are figured. If you guys could give a percentage figure of what you pay extra for your 2nd car it would help, thanks.

Holy crap! Your paying $4200 a year on insurance! Many people only pay $500 a year (on one car). That's outrageous. How old are you?

I have 5 cars on my policy. All have full coverage and $250 deductable. I pay less than $1,000 for each for a year. I don't know if you can use this as everyone's situation is different and in different locations.

I think it definitely depends on your situation and driving record. I am going to estimate that I get about 25-30% off the second vehicle (compared to what I was quoted for the vehicle's standalone policy).

I thought it was a lot less than just 25% off though. So many people have more than one car on the road, that's a lot of money.
I don't think I'll be able to keep the SC then.

To be honest, I don't fully remember what I was paying for the first car before adding on the Lexus last year. I do remember being pleasantly surprised when I saw my premiums were lower than expected when I did add it on though.
I do have some rather healthy coverage on both vehicles, if that helps any.

I pay about $60/month for my '98 GS and my '01 Z06 is a pleasure vehicle so I told my insurance I put about 5K miles on it a year and pay $50/month.
Both cars full coverage with $250 deductible.

I'm 29 as well and like I said, I pay $1200 a year for my SC in Mass. I can see though that NYC is considered a high risk area for theft and damage.
