Default Insurance Rates for the tC?

I'm currently deployed with the U.S Army, and really considering buying a tC when I get home. Anyway I was trying to get a typical insurance rate. I know it depends on the company you go through,
and Ill be going through this with the military, but I was trying to get an idea.

For the Scion tC 2005-2008.

Thanks
and im a noob , but I did search forums beforehand and had no luck.
thanks for your help.

I called around about 6 months ago and received quotes from 65 to 190 per month. There are too many factors such as age, location, driving history, etc. that can determine your rate but I hope that gives you a range to consider.

I Pay $110 / month through State Farm, I got a quote from Geico for $65 / month.
Just don't know how good Geico is about claims.
Hope you get the tC, it is totally worth it.

I pay 940 a year total for FULL COVERAGE for both my 2003 Jeep Wrangler and my 200 Scion tC from Erie (note again, this is TOTAL for the two). Don't ask how I got such ridiculous rates. I won't complain

Erie treats you as an adult at 24...

Chichum said Erie treats you as an adult at 24...
Are you from the Erie area? I grew up in Erie. Just moved to Syracuse the past year.

I was referring to Erie Insurance, not the location. And no, I live in Northeastern PA, not Northwestern

____ Erie. They won't insure me in a car (GTI) that's less than half a second quicker than a tC just because it's labeled as "high-performance."

That call ruined my day, I had payment set up and everything. They pretty much persuaded me to go elsewhere since I am on my own policy now.

As I've said countless times before, you can't boil an insurance policy down to a simple number- there are far too many factors. (And don't think "full coverage" means squat- that phrase does not exist in the insurance industry. Policy Limits are what matters).
You need to look at the policy features (rental/replacement coverage, etc), limits (med pay, liability, umbrella, etc) and a host of other things.
I could tell you that I pay $45/month for auto insurance, but without knowing that my limits of liability are 250/500, that I have a $1 million dollar umbrella, and that I have a significant multi-line discount, since I have 2 cars and house on the same policy, "I pay $45" doesn't give you the information you need.

If you want a reasonable answer, call an agent, or go to an insurance company's web site and get a quote.

600 a month you were paying? Good Lord that is crazy!

I was quoted $680 every 6 months under my parents policy for my xb2. My pops decided to put himself as primary so it went down to like $440 every six months.
