RE: Markel Insurance

something is wrong.
I would call them and recheck the figures.
I'm 57 now. Bike is 06 EGC.
Have had a couple fender benders on the bike with them.
And I'm only paying $331 this year, full coverage .

I just got one from them that was 4 times my current rate with State Farm. I pay $624a year and they came in at $2400 something. I'm 43 with a perfect record and good credit.I have no idea what other people are paying but $624.00 a year from State Farm seems reasonable tome. Are any of you guys payingover a grand for insurance??

Give em a try and see what they can do for you.

tried that.

We're sorry, we do not offer on-line quotes for Louisiana. Please call our customer service department at 1-800-236-BIKE (2453) for assistance.

been happy with progressive through hd, (cheaper than directly through progressive/same coverage) been with them since 2002 and have never had any problems. they did pay out twice for damage not related to riding. once was when a ratchet strap gave way and the bike tipped over in the bed of the pickup truck (that was on my way home from buying it, not even 1 mile on it yet!!!!) and the other when someone tried to rip it off and dropped it in the parking lot, 1450 damage, got a check for 1200. haven't raised my rates over it either. pay about 700 year for 2 2007 road king customs, and 2 riders.

RE: Markel Insurance

I insured my 96 FLHTCI with Markel Insuranceand they gave me a good rate. My current insurer for my pickup would have been about $200 higher. So far, no complains.

RE: Markel Insurance

I have a 1980 FXWG insured with State Farm as a classic

Value 12,000 Bodily injury 300,000 & 300,000
Comprehensive deductable $250.00
Collision deductable $250.00

128.28 per year

I have been checking prices on identical policies as mine renew.
Home Grange was $300.00 less
Auto Grange was $400.00 less

Quotes on my 2008 RK Grange is less

My 1980 FXWG Grange is $300.00 more. How do you figure
insurance company rates. It seems insane to me.
