Hmm, just put in the CEO of my company for a 2002 Z06 w/ABS, location Havre, Montana. He's USMC retired (discount), clean driving record, and putting this in gave him a quote of $168/mo for standard (BI/PD/MED/UIM/COMP/COLL). Not bad for a man in his 70s.
 
The only two discounts I'm aware of are multi-vehicle discount and AAA membership discount. In order to get truly accurate quotes, you need to provide a SS #, and they have to pull your credit.

I was in the process of filling out the Geico forms, but don't want them pulling my credit again. So if your CEO has really good credit, those rates would drop. If not, the would go up. I know it's stupid that credit plays a LARGE part of your rates, but it's true. That's why I got cheaper rates when I got off of my parents' policy.
 
I would assume he has incredible credit (heh).

Props to you, you probably have the best deal on Z06 full coverage insurance in the country. Impressive all the more so for a 22yo guy 😉

Have fun with that car!
 
I pay around $62 a month for coverage on my 2007 C6. It's listed as pleasure vehicle which means it must be driven less than 7,500 miles per year. I also get multi-car discount. Car has $1k deductible but full coverage through State Farm. This is with totaled S2000 on the record.

People are shocked when they hear how cheap it is to insure a vette. Reason it's so cheap is because all of the old people who drive the vette and the few miles the owners usually put on the car. Because of this, accident rates on vettes are really low so it keeps the rates down for all vette owners. But I've heard rates on C6 Z06 are climbing because so many owners are wrecking the car.
 
In Canada I was able to insure my 63 vette as a weekend only, no millage limit for around $350 a year, while my primary insurance for a 2002 impreza was pushin $6k, due to long commute into a different country with an accident on my record. Moving to Michigan its costing me more to have the car off the road in the garage for the winter, but primary insurance has gone down alot, $900 ish for both vehicles for 6 months, well 2nd vehicle is a 2006 altima now.

The short story is different states have different policies availabe, the similar policy in michigan only insures you to and from parades and club events, and is not much less that plain old full coverage. No trips for groceries, or to work allowed ever.

How old are you out of curiosity?

Btw, Corvette's are historically dangerous, though I don't think it's by design necessarily. This sums it up nicely, and it still applies today (if you want to dig through statistics and such) :

http://www.preferredconsumer.c...es/dangerous_cars.html

It?s important to note that the death rate for 1984-1988 Corvette?s is 2.5 times the national average, of 1.9 per ten thousand. And it is nine times the rate of the car deemed the safest car on the road, the Volvo 240 station wagon.

What is it about these cars that is so unsafe? The drivers. The cars themselves are not inherently unsafe. It?s the way people drive them.

33. Younger people tend to drive more recklessly than older people. 9 out 10 vette drivers I see are old farts.
 
lol naustica. very true. unless you get the base model corvettes. any car with more than 250-300hp has more than enough power and speed to kill the occupants.
