Chevy Volt costs MORE to insure then 2SS Camaro!
Having recently totaled my IOM Camaro 2SS I'm currently shopping various GM cars including the Volt. During a call to my auto insurance today I was surprised to find a lesser MSRP Volt costs $100 more to insure a year then a 426HP Camaro. SHOCKING??!!

Call another insurance agent.
Allstate for my coverage request (think I have 100/300/100 limits and $1000 Deductable on collision) is $261.94 for a Volt for six months and $286.94 for six months for a 2SS Convertible. |

Our 2012 Toyota sienna is more expensive to Insure over our 2012 camaro SS. About $80 a year more.

You're also insuring a brand new vehicle versus one that is one or two(?) years old.
My brand new truck cost more to insure than my 10 year old car that I was trading in. Brand new vehicles will almost ALWAYS cost more to insure than whatever you're trading in.

When I bought my 2010 Camaro 1LT the insurance on it was less than my 2008 HHR with the same coverage and deductibles.

When I bought my 2LT convertible, I found it was cheaper to insure than a 2LT coupe.

Wow. A few hundred bucks per year instead of well over a thousand. I'm jealous.

Also, Insurance companies (usually correctly) assume that you will be driving your V8 SS less than you would a typical city car such as Volt, Hence the higher insurance. Disclaimer: Anecdotal evidence |

The insurance is more because of the cost to replace parts in it. The lithium packs and battery subframe are expensive to replace.
The camaro is just a matter of generic parts put together

Plus, how many Camaros catch on fire as compared to the Volt percentage-wise?
 Too many factors that don't relate from one car to another.

NHTSA remains unaware of any real-world crashes that have resulted in a battery-related fire involving the Chevy Volt or any other electric vehicle. Now do a search on this forum for Camaro fires. There have been a few (The Stig comes to mind).I own a Volt as well, but can't really compare insurance costs because I have fleet. Padre |
