Brace yourselves for this number... $1134 for six months.
You still with me? So that's the number my current company (State Auto) quoted me, since my new policy will be in my name, and not a rider on my parents...
THE SINGLE LARGEST INDICATOR IS AGE. At 23, turning 24 in December, I'm pretty well screwed when it comes to insurance, regardless of my (clean) record or the car I buy.
That being said, I obviously decided to shop around, and for the same maxed-out coverage that I currently have, the lowest quote I got was from Geico, with a much more reasonable $539 for six months.
I considered getting more middle of the road coverage, but quite frankly, if/when I need it, I don't want to have to worry about anything not being covered completely, otherwise, whats the point of insurance!?
That is, if I ever actually get my friggin car...
