I am also in the Richmond area, but not in a city zip code where the rates and "red lines" are considerably greater than surrounding counties. As Cliff already knows, in Virginia cities and counties are entirely different entities and jurisdictions including those for insurance purposes. In Virginia rates are regulated and established by zip code. When I moved virtually across the street from a city zip code (even though I was living in the county) to a county zip code, my rates dropped dramatically. Nothing else had changed. I have had insurance with Allstate on my DeLorean for 18 years. Before I bought the DeLorean I asked my agent if there would be a problem insuring it since DMC had just gone out of business. He replied, "Of course not, why should there be a problem?" No con, I just asked, unless you call a pristine driving record a "con" (no accident claims that were my "fault", or serious traffic violations). That was 18 years ago. I have NEVER had a question from my agent or Allstate about my DeLorean since. But then I have never had a claim on the DeLorean, or any other claim that was a result of "my fault" on any of my 5 insured vehicles and a boat.
