Default Recommendations for Auto Insurance VW

Recommendations for Auto Insurance for a 1966 VW?
Also have three cars total, my wife and I and one teenage son, who can not
have a car his freshman year of college, but would like to still keep him
insured. Think we're paying quite a bit with State Farm, any suggestions
for savings on car insurance?

Not enough information. Who drives what? With what frequency? Is the
VW more of a "Sunday Driver"? If so, a company like Grundy might be a
good option for just that car.

Insuring the teenager is your money drain, not State Farm (as much as
I dislike that company, their auto insurance rates are usually
competitive.)

I know different states have different insurance laws, but here in FL any
family member living in the house with a drivers license is insured for all
cars in the household.

For example, my oldest son has had his own vehicle since 16, however since
he "might" have to drive one of ours, he is on the family's vehicle policy.
Now the rate is based on what vehicle he is the primary driver of, and thank
God he just turned 21 and his rate dropped. Ours is with State Farm also.

As far as my VW, I've got liability on it only for about $20 a month.

Susan,
I did research this further by calling State Farm.
There is an "Away at School Credit" for college students which saved me
$146.oo and a Homeowners Insurance Credit which I saved $56.oo So I just
went from $525 to $323. saving $202.oo for 6 months for 3 vehicles.

I know what you mean. Not only am I trying to get my car up and running,
I'm helping out the 21 year old to make some decisions on his VW, and have
one about to be 15 who is driving me crazy with every "FOR SALE" ad on ebay
and Samba.

Ewwwww, just the thought of him behind the wheel scares me !!!!

I use Geico for my 2 "Every Day Cars" which runs me about $64 a month.

The VW Beetle I get as an antique so it's only $57 per year,.. the
company name is J.C. Taylor out of Upper Darby PA. Of course there
are limits to how many miles I can drive but all things concidered I
think that 2500 miles a year is just fine.

I think once they get off to college or on their own they'll appreciate it.

Don't ever give up on your kids, Muadib! With my first child I made some
carless mistakes on parenthood. With my second, I thought I try a different
approach to have a good bond with my son, so he could come and talk with me
on any subject whether good or bad at anytime. It actually paid off, for
there were time he needed to just air things out, I think those time I'll
treasure the most.

Thank you for the encouragement Tom............I need all of that I
can get. She tests me constantly. Mostly by not trying to do anything
at all. Like I said before. Lounging and internet writing/chatting are
all she does..........Ugh!
