Re: car insurance

I would take the time to at least price Statefarm. IMO, just the best out there overall.

Sounds buy the prices you must be young, hopefully not any/many tickets or that could be the normal price your gonna pay.......?

The three you mentioned will drop you like a hot potatoe...good luck

haha you know i just realized that, ummm i have no idea maybe i do that alot, i guess i have to break the habit.

also do you guys know of any reliable cars ? i'm looking at about 12 grand to spend overall on a car, most likely i'll get a 2nd hand car from carmax but i dont know whats good. i looked into vw passat 2001 and it had some pretty crappy reviews of the model for that year. i'm not really looking for anything flashy just something that will last and looks decent. so far im leaning towards a mazda 6 2005 pretty cheap and low mileage.

The key to finding the most affordable rate is in the deductible. The higher the deductible, the lower the rate quote. I have an 2006 Jeep Laredo. My deductible is $1,000 instead a 250 deductible. My rate is 1,000 for 6 months and I'm in N.J. where the rates are higher than most states. The insurance company I have is Drive/Progressive insurance. Go to Google and type in Drive-Progressive which is cheaper than Progressive Direct.

Re: car insurance

I've had State Farm for about 7 years and been fairly pleased with the rates and the service. The most important thing though is to pay that friggin' car off asap. Drop the full coverage down to liability.

I second that. That's the biggest pain in the ass of car insurance: being FORCED to have full coverage until you pay it off. I had something happen to my car and they still were BSing me saying that what happened was a collision even though I didn't run into anything!

It was sitting in a parking lot and pieces of branches fell on it in a storm leaving a couple nice dents in the side.

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!!! I don't know what the min coverage is in VA, but in WVA its 20/40/10, meaning 20 thousand per accident, 40 thousand per occurence. Sooo, if you cause an accident, they only pay the injured party up to 20 grand, which comes really really fast if anyone is hurt. THE MOST IMPORTANT INSURANCE TO GET IS UNDERINSURANCE. That means if the yahoo that hits you has minimum coverage, your own insurance kicks in. Sooo, lets say some idiot runs a red light and T-bones you. You're in the hospital with 15k in bills, and he's got the min coverage. He coughs up his 20k, and then your insurance will cough up some as well, but ONLY if you have underinsurance coverage. I hear what you guys are saying about "full coverage" but with some of the idiots out there, I wouldn't risk not being covered in the event of an accident. Medical bills and lost wages pile up pretty darn fast.

No doubt it's a risk but one that I'm willing to take. I think VA's coverage is 25/50/20; just stating, not promoting. Once again, I concede it's a risk.
