xB unsafe according to GEICO, insurance rates jacked!!!
My girl has Geico. Her previous car was a 05 Vue and then called Geico when she got her 06 box and her rates also went up about $35/m from $60!!!! Damn! She's 36 with a perfect driving record. I'm gonna toss her on my American Family policy and my toaster will go down to about $63/m and hers will be at $65 with substantially much better coverage (full glass, $250 collision and $500 comp 50/100 liab and un/under). I'm abso positive 'cos I have multiple policies for my Harley, life insurance and renters.
Ditch the lizard and move on!

yeah, wow, tell your geico agent that you want to see some documentation about how your xb suddenly became less safe to operate and that you'll be taking your business elsewhere if this is how their going to treat such a longtime customer with a clean driving record.
and yeah, i pay 197 a month for maxed out coverage from esurance down from 236 the previous 6 months. just to insure my precious tc.

The rates state-to-state, county-to-county, city-to-city, and even neighborhood-to-neighborhood vary wildly.
Just moving from one apartment to another less than three miles away put me into a different rate zone and dropped my rates.
Someone in NYC and someone in rural Nebraska are going to see different rates.

Ok followup:
Tomas is right (as usual) it appears that it was a twofold increase.
First because of the decreased safety rating (perhaps they just started this because some of you that have paid in previous months don't have it but one other post did say theirs went up as well).
Second - the insurance rating for my area worsened . . .. And this is why I hate insurance companies. The idiots down the street can't drive and they penalize me??? This is discrimination! Just because I live around a bunch of inbreeders doesn't make me drive like them. I think it should be based on my driving record, not some statistic that says i'm more likely to drive off a bluff because 3 of my neighbors have.
Anyways, Tomas was right in that I went around looking for new car quote rates and sure enough . .. . They were higher when I put in my car type AND my address. If I changed the zip code to one for Huntsville which is 60 miles away the rates went down some.
On a side note . .. . If i changed various other vehicles the rates also decreased so clearly the 06 xB isn't as insurance friendly as it once was.

Damn I have to renew my policy with Geico in about a month, hopefully it doesn't increase too much....
Right now I'm paying $44 a month through Geico on the xB and $54 on my SS Camaro(not a daily driver but Ins companies hate them). Full coverage with 250 comprehensive /500 collision deductible on both. Kinda suprising how cheap it is considering I'm about 10 miles from Mexico.
I guess no tickets since '94, being married, being somewhat old, good credit, and military discounts helped a little

My previous car was a 94 Geo Metro and when I got my xB I kept both insured - my rate went down from just the Geo and the Geo only added $80 a year to the policy. After driving the xB and waiting for the Geo to be repaired going back to driving the Geo was too much of a position and quality of ride shock - whooo man was there a difference! So I ended up junking the Geo since the suspension repairs needed were too extensive.
As many others have already stated, your residential location plays a massively significant role in your insurance rates. I live only 3 miles north of the Harris county line in Texas, yet my insurance rates are almost 1/3 less than what they would be if I lived in Harris county. I am paying $110 per month for 25-50-25, $200 ded., list replacement value on everything in and on the cars, on an '08 and '06 xB. My rates would be over $140 for the same exact coverage if I lived 3 miles south. Crazy!
Mine is listed as a "second vehicle"...for three vehicles my rate is $480 for 6 months...I even lowered the deductible on my comprehensive to $50 (i need a windshield) and added towing this renewal (for my other car). Allstate has been good to me
I must be the lucky guy...I'm 47, clean record and have 300/100/25 full coverage and $500 ded. My premium is $51.17/month. This includes discounts for accident free, multiple vehicle, and multiple lines.
