Can anyone share their experience with the cost of insuring the Volt vs. other cars? I got a quote for a 2017 Volt that was more than the insurance on a new $60K vehicle. I could buy several months worth of gas for the difference.

This is an interesting site, but it doesn't appear to be particularly accurate, even with my current insurance.

Mine wasn't more or less expensive than other vehicles owned. Get competitive quotes with other insurance companies.

I will definitely shop around after I talk to my agent again. But they have all my insurance, and having been with them for so many years, I hate to move everything.

Interestingly, this site: http://www.insure.com/car-insurance/insurance-rates-by-car.html brings up rates more in line with what I'm being charged.

Went from a $30K Mini Cooper and mine went up a bit. Nothing crazy, but it was more. The Volt MSRP was $3.65K, so.....

A 17 Volt is less to insure than my 15 Optima Hybrid through Geico.

Mine was more so I switched to Progressive, which was less.

What car did you come from, and what insurance company did you have before?

 

[JimmyD]

Mine was less then a considerably cheaper 2017 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid.

Went from a 2012 Volt to a 2016 Volt and my premium went up 12 dollars every six months, but having said that, with car insurance there are A LOT of factors, especially your credit score.

Mine went down a bit because the Volt was a hybrid. Our auto insurance is with Geico.

 

[Off Oil]

Insurance rates are highly dependent on the coverage and driver factors. That said, mine is $685 for 6 months through Geico with a purchase (leases can be higher). I wanted to move to Amica, and they were about double; which shows how extreme the differences can be.

Here are my insurance costs for 6 months of coverage:

All three vehicles have the same coverage/deductibles...

How in the world did you find a volt for $3.65K. Must. Be a misplaced decimal.

Previous vehicle was an '09 Escape Hybrid to a MY12 loaded Volt. United Fire and Casualty was my previous insurance, but since we work with an agent, had several companies to choose from.
