I found that State Farm offered a great deal for new riders. They had specific rates for the Grom that were friendly.
Wow, I need to look into State Farm! Just how much were you quoted? I’m curious to compare.
I ended up with a $400 annual premium with Allstate. That’s pretty decent for my area.
That’s a solid rate! What factors contributed to that price for you?
I’ve read that age can greatly influence Grom insurance rates. I wouldn’t be surprised if young riders get hit hard.
I’d laugh if I got charged that much! I’m over 30, so thank goodness my rates are lower. What would I even do with that premium? Buy more parts? LOL.
Insurance can feel like such a rip-off sometimes, especially with the premiums based on age. But done right, it’s still necessary for protecting our bikes!
Exactly, it’s a necessary evil! What’s the best way to calculate if a premium is really worth it?
It seems like comparing coverage types is key. Don’t just focus on the price; ensure you’re getting enough coverage for peace of mind.
I just got insurance for my Honda Grom and found the quotes were way lower than I expected! It all depends on your location and age, so don’t be discouraged if yours is high.
That’s great to hear! Have you checked for any discounts? Many companies offer them for good driving records or safety courses.
Yes! Taking a motorcycle safety course can save you a ton on premiums. I saved about 15% just by completing one!
That’s awesome, Nathan! I didn’t know it could be that much. Any recommendations for courses?
Check out the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) courses. They’re widely recognized and can lead to insurance discounts!
I’ve also heard that bundling your insurance can help lower rates, if you’ve got other policies to combine. Worth looking into!
Good point, Alexander! Just be cautious of coverage limits on the Grom since it’s a smaller bike. You might not need comprehensive coverage.
That’s a solid tip! But are there ever times when it’s necessary, like if you’re financing?
Absolutely, Michael! If you’re financing, you’ll likely want full coverage. Check with your lender to see what they require.
I also recommend shopping around every year. Sometimes a quick quote from a different company can save you quite a bit.
I agree! I switched insurers last year and saved almost $200 annually. Crazy how much it differs!
