Insurance for your smart

Who are you using to get insurance on your smart since I doubt you can drive it off the lot w/o it?

I can just see myself at the dealership on the phone calling around to get insurance and the insurance company is "you want to insure a smart WHAT?"

Just trying to make my life easier ahead of time.

There has been another thread with it. I dont know what other insurance in yoru area has it, but try state farm. As the cars sell more, more companies will sell it.

Official insurance company for smart is http://libertymutual.com/smart. They promise replacement of your car for just the deductible if you should (shudder) total the car in the first year.

Official insurance? What do you mean by that?

My cheapest quote was from these guys. Cheaper than Mercury, State Farm or Auto Club. Better coverage than Geico (who won't cover collision on a smart). Of course, your quote will vary. Make sure you tell them what college you graduated from, I got a 20% discount for that.

Find all that information at http://www.libertymutual.com/smart

It all depends where you live... Liberty Mutual was double what I pay now for my other cars... I have Geico but they won't insure the car against comp/collision so I am going with a collector car insurance since I will not drive the Smart that much anyways...
