Depends on what company you go through. I Would recommend just spending a morning or afternoon and just call around. Everybodies driving record is different and everybodies history with their broker/insurance company is different.

Insurance companies will often also take into consideration things like your credit score and where you live, ie. urban, suburban, rural, how far from the city you are, etc. And, if you're in school you can get a discount for decent grades. There are so many minute factors that can affect insurance premiums, that it really is best to just shop around.

i was paying about 4,000/year american with progressive... i switched to geico and now i'm paying 1800/year. that's one hell of a difference. AND i have better coverage now, and also rental reimbursement which i didn't have with progressive.
you can get online quotes from companies, i would try a few out and see what's best for you. every area is different, every driver is different, so we can't give any kind of #'s that would be near accurate. just have to research it WELL before you buy. take the time to really look around... you're gonna be pissed if you get a company and then find out you could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else.

I'm paying 1,600 a year for my 05 SS/SC
I'm paying 1,200 a year for my 05 Sedan
I'm paying 600 a year for my 94 Z24 Cavailer
I'm paying $400 for Renters insurance a year
I'm 25 with 2 pts. They don't count it towards insurance points.
It all depends on credit score, age, driving history, what type of vehicle/coverage etc
It varies between MANY people. you will not get a more honest answer.

I pay $1700 a year for my Cobalt SS SC, $600 a year for my Caprice Classic and $600 a year to insure the Sea-Doo.
The first two are through Saskatchewan Government Ins. so you're gonna be hard pressed to insure with them (being from Missouri) and the Sea-Doo is through the Cooperators. (also another Canadian based as far as i know)

1400$ a year for my 06 SS/SC. I'm 24 with no accidents or tickets that my insurence company knows about. I find that most of the local companies have better rates then the bigger companies. I got quotes from some of the bigs ones and they were nearly double and didn't have the quality of coverage I have now.

i have my truck and streetbike on my own plan with country insurance, i just wasnt sure if that would be a factor, even though the bike insurance is only 500/year

If possible, I would suggest getting on your parents plan. In order to do so, you might have to add one of their names to your title. I'm 19 and I totaled my old car, totaled the car that hit me (I was at fault), failure to yield, and a wreckless driving(different charge). On my own plan, the average I was quoted by several companies was 500+ per month. Added to my dads insurance I am now paying a little over 250 per month. As young adults, insurance for any vehicle classified as a sports car is very costly (until we hit 25) reguardless of driving records.
If getting on your parents plan doesnt work, I would suggest obtaining a quote from geico. They seem to be the most reasonable for younger drivers w/ sports cars.

Wow. I feel great about my insurance now. I got a 06 SS/SC, I'm 23, perfect driving record(with the acception of like 9,000,000 non-moving violations, but those don't count) and I pay $108 with Nationwide. I'm on my own policy of course.
