I believe it was auctioned last night.
Just got my auto policy quote from Farmers this week. Current rate for my XC60 is $675/6mo. Quote for R1S was $1424/6mo. That's everything else same-same, including multi-policy discounts, etc and just swapping out the vehicle. Will be interesting to see what Rivian Insurance quotes me.
the XC60 is 5-6 years old which would in part explain the price difference.
Of course, and even a new XC60 is at a completely different price point than a Rivian. I was definitely expecting a rate increase, just not 2x.
I have a brand new 2023 F150 Raptor that cost $90K and just got a USAA replace quote for a Rivian R1S. The Rivian would bump my 6-month policy on the Raptor from $720 to $980.
Geico details pls..
A Geico driver hit the side of the rear bumper of my Model Y. I had a three camera video montage from the Tesla dash cam to prove fault. Geico refused to pay the Tesla certified bodyshop for a new bumper. Geico wanted some paint and a buff. The bodyshop said that there was no way that would look right long term. So I filed with my insurer, Progressive. Progressive paid in full, gathered a group of non-payments from Geico, and sued Geico. Progressive offered to add any other costs I had associated with the accident to the lawsuit. That's how I know the Progressive couldn't get Geico to pay.
Follow up regarding my quote from Rivian Insurance: $846/6mo for auto and basically matching Farmers for my homeowners policy. This is much more in line with my expectations. With all other things being equal, Farmers is nearly $100/mo more expensive. The RI Advisor I spoke with said they had spoken with 3 other Farmers customers today all reporting that Farmers was significantly more expensive. Sounds like Farmers doesn't really want to insure Rivian vehicles at the moment. Which is fine, I can and will take my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate though, I really like my Farmers agent - but not that much.
I moved everything from Geico to Rivian (nationwide) just because of this. Ended up costing roughly the same anyway, but I didn't want to be stuck with Geico if I ever get in an accident.
