How do young drivers get insurance on supercars

[bflbob]

Any really young guys here with a supercar ?

When I was 17, I drove a '71 Chevy Vega. Does that count?

I spent one night in March of that year, laying on my back in the freezing weather, installing a new clutch in it. Tightened it down nice.
Went to a Doobie Brothers concert with a girl. I dropped the clutch on the way home in an effort to impress her with the power of the 4-cylinder motor.

The clutch held. The transmission didn't. I had to drive all the way home (20 miles) in 2nd gear. VERY impressive.

But it worked. Just celebrated our 35th anniversary on March 4th.

If they insured me, they'll insure anyone.

Why are people bashing him for wanting to learn? When you guys ask a question about how to make this or I wonder how this works people don't bash you and say make millions then ask questions.

Maybe he just wants to know because he likes learning and is naturally curious. What's wrong with that?

Some states allow you to "self insure" If you have enough money you put the state minimum requirements in a bond of some sort, they then issue you a type of certificate in place of an insurance card. There are pros(like not having to pay for something you may never use)and cons(like having to pay hundreds of thousands in ddamages if it got that far) to this of course.

As much as it pains me to say this as a commercial underwriter, you can insure your exotics way cheaper under a commercial policy than through a personal lines carrier. I see Aston Martins, Ferraris, etc. that belong to the owner under the auto policy for the business he/she runs, and it is significantly less expensive, due to lower commercial rates and the spread of risk when you have multiple autos on a policy.

Justin Bieber: He has 2 ferraris, a lamborghini, range rover, smart car and like 5 others. For a teenager his insurance on his 458 Italia must be insane.He bought most of the cars when he was like 17. His total car insurance could be over 1million$.

Where did you get that figure of $1 million?

 

[EastWind]

Who cares? When you buy one, then you worry about it.

Well, I was wondering where he got this thought, " His total car insurance could be over 1million$."

I know he is young, but being young doesn't mean you should make statements or assumptions without any data to back it up. It is absurd to think that a stable of cars worth $1 million dollars is going to have insurance costs of $1 million dollars. People say things like that all the time and it just shoots down your credibility. I always ask what a person has based his statement on.

He could answer his own question by calling some insurance companies to see if they would insure him for a Ferrari or Lambo. Then he would have a real answer right there, and he could come back and inform everyone on the forum how much it costs to insure a Ferrari for an 18 year old. Then everyone here learns.

That is the real way to learn. With real world facts and figures.

PS: I can tell you that when I was 25, I called to see what insurance on a 1991 911 turbo would be. The answer was $8,000 a year. But that was a long time ago.

Just tried that. So far Geico and Allstate don't cover them. Lol

But traffic attracting from dreamers.

true!

Nope, I had to switch from Geico and Allstate when I got mine. I think State Farm said yes but was crazy expensive. I use Amica. There are alot of companies that insure them, just not the companies that you see lots of commercials for.

I'll call my agent Monday and see if they'll cough up any answers for me. I'm going to keep working in this until I get some answers.

No offense at all but I'd worry about that when you get there. This is just a distraction in the mean time.

That's like saying "Where exactly is San Diego?" - "Oh, don't worry about it until you make it there..."

It helps to know how much this stuff costs so you can plan on whether the lifestyle money target you're shooting for is enough to support it. If I plan to make $10k per month passively with my business that's not enough to buy a brand new Aventador Roadster when I'm 28. Or is it? How do I know?

This is a stupid thread.

I've owned a few "Exotics" and the rates were never insane. In fact on a few they were between $70-85 a month full coverage at the time I was 23-25

The only issue you would run into are some companies won't insure the type of car, I had this issue with one brand but State Farm was able to take care of me, only big name brand that would touch the type of car. All other general insurance companies it was on their "black list"

Not that I've got the fancy car yet, but if/when I do I'll afford it by living where I live. Saskatchewan.

18 yr old just got his license, red Lamborghini Aventador insurance and registration - $3,276

40 yr old woman, black Lamborghini Aventador insurance and registration - $3,276

Our licenses are also about $25/yr here.

Can't drive it half the year here, but it's cheap to when you can.

Nothing here is based on discrimination. i.e. 18yr olds are more likely to have an accident, red cars are more likely to have an accident. It's all based on your actual driving record and everyone starts at 0. Every year you drive without an at fault your insurance goes down. Every at fault you have insurance goes up.

Here's the calculator that tells you what any car would cost.

MJ said in the book that the guy who drove the Lamborghini countach looked under 23 or something.

Just wondering how young drivers get insurance companies to insure them.

For example:

Andy Murray (professional tennis player) paid 150,000$ for insurance on a used ferrari f430, he is 22 and passed his driving test 5 months prior to buying the car.

Justin Bieber: He has 2 ferraris, a lamborghini, range rover, smart car and like 5 others. For a teenager his insurance on his 458 Italia must be insane.He bought most of the cars when he was like 17. His total car insurance could be over 1million$.

Any really young guys here with a supercar ?

Haha true but I was just wondering how it works, you could end up buying a car that you cant get insured and it would just be sitting in your driveway

 

[wade1mil]

You can get insured. Some of the big companies like AllState might not touch you, but somebody will insure you. The reason the first guy paid so much is because he only had 5 months of driving experience, which is the equivalent of being 18-1/2. Doesn't matter that he's 22, he's only driven for a few months (legally).

P.S. You may not be able to insure a RENTAL car under 25, but that is just what I've heard.

My only present understanding is that, typically, there's special insurers for exotics and that you get an agreed value policy rather than the usual states value policy. But rates would vary widely due to age, sex, driving record, marital status, homeowner or not, etc.

 

[CEBenz]

Stated* not states.

F*cking insurance companies. They wrote my old car's off totally about 5 times over when I was a teenager... Never filed a claim.

 

[CEBenz]

Hmmm. I'm starting to smell an opportunity here.
