That completely makes sense. How much do just the basic Segway cost plus the fact if you do indeed fall of what happens to you or someone you hit, your Segway if it gets totaled. all of this could cost up to thousands if you don't have insurance, so in a way this completely makes sense. Plus in todays world if someone incidentally injures someone who knows if they will get sued which we all know will most likely happen, so to be covered from anything would make me more secure will riding a Segway which I plan on purchasing in the future.

I have my P fully insured. It runs me around $120 for the full year. I choose to go through State Farm, as my vehicle, home owners, and an umbrella policy are all through State Farm. It is wise for any Segway owner to carry insurance. It protects them against any other individuals, and mine also protects me against damage, and theft. The insurance card looks just like any vehicle card, and is classified as "Segway" with its make, model, year, and VIN number on the card - I'll scan sometime if I remember.

We don't own a Segway, but are "wishing." A couple years ago as part of the decision whether to buy, we looked into insurance. My husband called up our insurance co. (usually a very good, competitive group) and got a quote of around $1,000. This is as much as it will cost to add a teen male driver to our auto insurance!! I thought the insurance should be a rider on our homeowners policy, not on our auto policy, but I don't think the insurance rep. even knew what a Segway is.

Progressive Insurance is (or was at the time) the company officially endorsed by Segway LLC to provide insurance. I went on their website, but because I couldn't provide a VIN for the Segway/motorcycle I didn't own, they wouldn't provide me a quote. The site referred me to some local insurance agents. I tried calling one, but they never returned my call.

I'm amazed that some of you have obtained insurance--and at a reasonable rate. Then again, do any of you live in California like we do?
