Car insurance..Who do you use and...

how much do you pay?
We have Geico and pay $4092/year for a 2004 Trailblazer EXT and a 2004 Monte Carlo. Doesn't that seem really high?

Re: Car insurance..Who do you use and...

Allstate. FH pays about $2400 year for his 05 VW and for renter's insurance

Here my mom and I pay about $3600 for a 93 Buick and an 00 VW. All comprehensive

ETA: Fh's is so high b/c he's under 25, Mine/my mom's is so high b/c we live in queens and I think it went up after my 2 accidents, plus I'm under 25

Do you lease or own?

DH leases a 2004 Dodge Ram & I own a 2005 Scion XB - our insurance before we added the homeowner's policy was $3250/year for 500/250 coverage on both. We use Liberty Mutual.

I have Geico too. I pay 1900.00 a year for a 2004 Escalade and a 2004 CTS. I think that is rather high what you are paying. DO you have tickets or any accidents? I was paying like $5000.00 a year before I switched and that was only for 1 car. But I had a ticket at the time so I guess that is what had to do with it?

We pay ~$3300 a year for full coverage, incl comp and collision on a 1996 BMW and 2004 Civic, living in Queens. DH had Geico and when he called for a rate that included both of our cars, it was $1800 more a year than what we're paying now with Allstate.

Re: Car insurance..Who do you use and...

In addition to your driving record and how long you've had your license, your gender and whether or not you're married, they also scheck your credit score. Also, some cars just have realy high insurance for no apparent reason. They just statistically have more accidents or get stolen more. It doenst hurt to call u your copany or a few companies to see if they can do something better for you and if there's any feature you have like ABS or running lights or an alarm make sure it's lsten on your policy. Also if you don't drive a lot it can help. I know with Fh's car, we're trying to keep it under 600 miles a month because then he qualifies for a whopping 30% discount.

Re: Car insurance..Who do you use and...

That seems really high. Unless you have tickets and/or accidents.
We pay $2000/year for a 2003 Santa Fe and a 1997 Beretta...full coverage inc. glass on both.
Also, I drive 25 miles to work so we pay a surcharge for that.
Are you leasing, cuz if so, you have to have higher coverage on the cars. Maybe you should look into a defensive driving course, you can each save 10% by taking one.
