Wanted to test the waters and see if y'all were insuring these mules, and if so, what the going rate was for y'all.
I tried my local farm bureau since the tractors are already under them, but they seemed to have difficulty categorizing the mule, and came back with a rate that was like $800 a year or something ludicrous like that.
Guess they thought it was a dune buggy or something.
What are y'all seeing out there for going rates and through what insurer?
Im interested as well. Hate to hear that FB didn't have a better policy/price. I have tractor w them, its like $60 a year. Hoping mule would be similar. I had trouble getting a policy for my tractor until I called FB. All the others, including my ins co that has all my other stuff wanted to treat it like a car policy, it was $600- $800 a year! Hopefully we can find something reasonable. I may try my FB to just see if they tell me the same thing as yours.
Indiana Farm Bureau, $299.00 a year.
Classified as a 'All Terrain' vehicle. Class = ALTRZZ on policy.
I have bodily injury liability $100K each person - $300k each accident,
Property damage liability $100K each accident,
Medical Payments $5,000 each person,
Other than collision -- Actual Cash value - $500 deductible,
Collision Actual Cash Value - $500 deductible
I have house and 5 cars on policy so not sure rate wise if you can get the same or not
I am with Progressive as well but because my wife doesn't have a motorcycle endorsement mine is $342 a year. Not sure why she needs a motorcycle endorsement on a UTV that is operated off highway but they require it

Looks like you are in Cali - watch out if you cancel your policy outside of the renewal period. They'll hit you up for $50 just because Cali allows it.
Mine is covered under homeowners policy for replacement cost. Just my family drives it -
Well just got back from farm bureau. They want $395 a year. That's more than twice what they insure my significantly more expensive tractor for. I asked why it's so much more and they couldn't figure it out either. That's also only insurance based on me using it at the farm, which is fine, but I'm worried about the one time I decide to take it hunting somewhere else.
Going to call geico tomorrow and see what they can do for me in terms of overall coverage. I already have several vehicles and motorcycles insured with them, so hopefully they are competitive.
I never really thought about insurance until I saw this post. I primarily bought my Mule to cruise around my property. I have about 15 acres in north Georgia. Recently the city I live in has started building "golf cart" paths so now I drive my Mule to the grocery store, restaurants and stuff. After seeing this post I got to thinking, what if I hit a kid that runs out in front on me or I crash into a golf cart, the Mule would cream a golf cart, lol. I called my insurance people, USAA and explained the situation. Basically, I added the Mule to my auto policy, so I have the same coverage on my Mule as my cars. Added $330 a year to my exsisting policy but I think I have my butt covered now. Thanks for the post Speciulboy.

Is it through USAA directly, or did they sub it out to Progressive? That is what they did with my boat and my Mule. Insurance companies can be funny, USAA has been calling my horse trailer a travel trailer for 15 years. I am considering adding my 4 wheeler as well as it lives at the farm which is 2 hours away. I haven't had insurance on my tractors in a long time, didn't realize it was so cheep. I might need to call Farm Bureau and add those.
I added my mule to my USAA insurance policy which my home and autos are all insured under. I believe it upped my policy around $300 for the year for the same coverage I keep on my automobiles.
I have Foremost for my Mule - $1,017/yr. I know it's high but I really wanted the uninsured coverage
Liability
Bodily Injury / $100,000 each person / $300,000 each accident
Passenger Bodily Injury / $100,000 each person / $300,000 each accident
Property Damage / $100,000 each accident
Uninsured
Bodily Injury / $100,000 each person / $300,000 each accident
Property Damage / $25,000 each accident
Accessories
Optional Equipment / $5,000
Deductible
Collision / $250
Other / $250
I'm sure there's cheaper companies out there but Foremost did very well when I sucked up sand in one of my waverunners - $7,500 in damage. They worked directly with the repair shop, covered all but the deductible, and I had it back in 5 days. My rates didn't even change after that.
You guys are paying a high price for insurance in the US. I added it to my auto plan for $125 per year. I also have a sled and quad on my plan for under $100 each.
The coverage you are looking at looks to be the basic coverage package Progressive offers. The reason that it's cheap is that it doesn't look to offer any physical damage coverage to the machine. It looks like this coverage only offers coverage for the following items with the least coverage amounts.
If you want machine damage coverage then the price increases. If you take a motorcycle safety course, this will give you a discount with some insurance companies.
I'm leaning on going with progressive as it's the cheapest I've found so far.

My progressive policy that includes theft. Is this high ??????
$331 from progressive, but when I added to my motorcycle policy it went down around $360 per year, so go figure it actually made my policy cheaper with an additional machine.
I am in Kansas and have Safeco full coverage $110 per year. 250,000 bodily injury, 500,000 each person, 100,000 each accident, uninsured 250,000. 250.00 deductible, 3000.00 custom parts
Progressive - $113.00 annually for 2016 Pro Mule DX. No disappearing deductible, $500,000 liability
