    Just got off the phone with my insurance agent checking the cost of car insurance on a 2010 Prius.

    $340 a year full coverage. Basically the same amount I'm paying now on my 87 Volvo with no collision.

    She told she could get a better number with a VIN but at the moment the $340 a year is what Erie is showing my insurance will be on a new Prius. :)

    $340 a year ? Don't you mean $340 for a six month period ? Me thinks you are off on that one

    Nope $340 a year. I pay $660 a year on both my Volvo's.

    The 87 has no collision and the 97 960 has full coverage for < 12K miles a year. I raised it from < 8,000 to 12,000 and they charged me an additional $25 a year for the change.

    Why would you have no collision?

    ETA: never mind, i see you say that is full coverage. I understand why on the 87.

    But $349 full coverage? Wow, who do you use?

    Difference is I live in Pittsburgh and you live in New Jersey.

    Philadelphia Insurance rates are just as bad as New Jersey's

    My brothers insurance rates are similar to mine and he lives a few miles outside of Concord, NH.

    Once Erie Insurance got my VIN I got my new Insurance rate on the 2010 Prius.

    $418 a year full coverage, that is not a typo.

    The difference between my 87 Volvo turbo wagon with just liability and the new 2010 Prius is $202

    I was paying $535 for the 87 with just liability and my 97 Volvo 960 that is driven <12K miles a year.

    With the new Prius and sending the 87 to the scrap yard my insurance will be $735 a year on both cars. :D

    There is no way to complain on the slight increase in cost to my auto insurance buying a new Prius.
