Wanna talk about a massive saving in insurance?

I was with First Trenton, paying $4,390 per year for full coverage on just my Camaro with no points at 20 years of age... so I finally got sick of it and gave Progressive a call... for 1 year it would cost me $3500, so I was like "This is great, lemme call around some more". I called Geicko, and now I'm paying $1190 per 6 months for full coverage... ****ing great I saved alot more than 15%, i saved around 50%

It depends on your area not just driving record. My dad is an adjuster for Geico, so I get a discount plus what geico saves me. Costs me $80 per month for the IROC on liability.

car insurance is a ripoff around here IMO. When I lived in Atlanta it was 600 for the whole year. Paid it off in one shot.

I've actually gone to every single company for a quote and they're all pretty much the same I suppose its because this is the first year I have insurance under my name... I was paying $325 a month but my policy is now $277 a month... so I guess if it keeps dropping every 6 months I cant complain.

Insurance in NJ is a joke. My insurance droped since I bought my camaro and Im paying $684 every 4 months, so Im paying $2,700 a year on one car! I had 2 points 3 years ago, and I took my drivers safety thing and the state points have been dropped along time ago. And thats only with Liability, Unisured Motorist & a dumb personal injury that had to go on.

I hate NJ insurance.

Where do you guys get the money to pay that much for insurance and for the car? When I was 20 all my money was going to paying college and books so I had to buy a 17 year old car for transportation. That's crazy to pay more than $2000 a year no matter what you're driving. And you should have full coverage as well.

There's an age difference here Jeff. I was the same - get full coverage, pay for school, have just enough left over to take the girlfriend to dinner OR a movie. Had to be friends with a few frat guys to enjoy the drinks without paying.

People nowadays do the bare minimum. No long term planning. I bet if they wiped out some judge in their car while street racing, they'd wish they had full coverage.

Chevelle = $500 a year! I also cant drive it more than 3500 miles a year.
Classic car insurance is a good deal.

Amen to that. I pay $500 a year on my Firehawk, too. If you have another car that you can get around in, Classic ins is the way to go.

but do you hate car insurance? Â*why don't you tell us how you really feel?

i just saved my step-son $4000 a year by putting his car in my name and listing the car under my insurance as a pleasure vehicle. i told him no speeding tickets and no accidents. we'll see how it works out.

now, there are those that would say i am committing insurance fraud. i don't see it like that. i see it as saving $4000 a year. sure, if he wrecks it we're in deep ****, but he's not had an accident with his car yet and he's been driving it for two years (knock on wood). insurance in this state is a joke. how the hell does an insurance company end up in debt? the hundreds of millions of dollars that get paid in premiums and they're going to say they're in debt?

I don't think it's fraud. A lot of people do it, because there's no way for the insurance company to know who is driving the vehicle, unless there's an accident then they can question.

Thats the setup I have. My jeep is in my moms name (perfect record) and its under her policy. I can not be insured in the state of new jersey, unless I want to use New Jersey High Risk Insurance, and I'm sure as hell not doing that!
