05 escape awd hybrid verses 06 ford f150 v6 2wd. insurance company wants double the monthly premium for the escape than the 150. that seems like they are gouging me. it's only me on the policy with the escape,f150 and a Harley

Sounds like it is time to shop around, you should be eligible for a multi vehicle discount.

Insurance rates are based on many factors. Your credit, number of accidents that you are at fault for, the likelihood of a given vehicle you have listed on the policy being stolen are some of the factors used. I agree it may be time to shop around for a different company. You can also look at possibly increasing your deductibles to lower your rate.

for a 20yr old car I would just do liability only, at that age and miles I bet insurance will not even try to fix it and just pay you the book value if you're not at fault. Both have nearly identical book/resale values but since the hybrid has more electronics (expensive parts) to replace insurance deemed it expensive to repair. Doesn't make sense to have higher premium for a comprehensive coverage and what they'll do is junk it (pay you the book value)

i guess im not stating this right . i have 2 vehicles, 05 ford f150 and 06 ford escape with the same coverage on each 1. my premiums per 6 months for the f150 is $300 and the escape they want $600, total of $900 every 6 months. why would the escape cost 2 times as much as the f150. i dont have full coverage on either car.
