Insurance Question

I was wondering where everyone get their insurance for their 5er? I just got an adjusted premium from State Farm. They base it on the MSRP which is over $36,000. They sell all over for $23-27,000. It raises my premium by about $150 a year. The interesting thing is that if it got stolen or burned down they wouldn't pay me the 36 grand but would look for a replacement which can be had for the mid twenties price. So I'm paying for ten thousand dollars of coverage which I would never get. Anyone have any suggestions?
  • state farm. along with all my other insurance needs. I'd call the agent and ask for ways to reduce premium. While our TT is worth less than your 5ver, but we pay $90/yr. for our 2011 outback 295RE. Deductible makes a big difference.
  • Another vote for National General (formerly GMAC). Saved me significant dollars when I switch a couple of years ago. Renewal was almost no change.

    And yes, if you call and tell them the rig is in storage (doesn't matter where) they will reduce your premium accordingly. When you take it out of storage just call them again and coverage is back to normal.

    Do not have any claim experience but have had contact with them for general issues and questions. Always got a person on the phone in reasonable time and good advice and/or info.
  • Try National General. They used to be GMAC. I have been very happy with their price and and their claims procedure. I am paying about a buck a day for full coverage but it is actually cheaper because it is in storage now so it saved me $90 for 6 months. I am paying $56.00 for the next 6 months.
