VW beetle car insurance?

Lynn Hollars: I was curious about this as well

Dorethea Beaston: are we talking about the old Beetle or the New Beetle? if you mean the classic version, then insurance isn't going to be much at all. my backup car is a '77 VW Rabbit and i'm seriously paying $12 a month to insure it. but i highly suggest you don't use one of these cars as a daily driver, it's going to be a huge hassle with all the constant repairs(as would any car that's 40 years old). another factor is that if you drive it during winter, the salt corrosion is going to eat through your floorpan like crazy(which is an expensive fix and could prevent you from passing inspection). and i'm going to tell you right now that the heaters don't work at all, it's like this in all of the old air-cooled VW's and it's something VW was never able to properly fix with them. if you buy an old Bug, then i highly suggest you buy a beater car for winter and to use as a backup for when it breaks.if you're talking about t! he New Beetle, then insurance should be about the same as most other compact cars. my best advice would be to get an older one to save some cash, your insurance should be slightly over $100 a month for just liability. but honestly, the New Beetles are pure junk once they reach high mileage. they require a decent bit of maintenance, and the labor costs are actually much higher than the Golf. you see, the New Beetle's engine compartment is extremely cramped and there's virtually no room for a mechanic to work under there. as a result, he'll be spending a lot more time just to get a simple task accomplished, and your labor costs will be a lot more than most other cars....Show more
