Hey y’all, I’m in California and I’m paying an auto insurance of $1495/6months with Progressive. It’s nearing the 6month mark. And I feel like it’s a lot. Mostly cause that’s almost $3000 for a year which is ridiculous. I drive a 2023 Toyota Corolla LE . Any advice on which insurance company to check out?

Just another reason I'm glad I got out of CA. I went from paying $220 for 2 cars(2016 Audi A4 2017 Kia Sorento) with full coverage with progressive to $140 for the same coverage in ID. Multiple friends are having issues finding cheaper rates, some can't even get coverage if they have kids that drive.

Time to shop around. I found the best rate this month with Erie Insurance. Was $400-500 cheaper for the same exact coverage at other firms.

In Rhode Island for 3 cars (liability on 2 cars full coverage on the other) $130 mo.
I received a postcard from Progressive (my ins company) saying save on insurance. So I followed the QR code link. Boom $88 for full coverage on all 3.
I would just Google search progressive insurance. Then go to their site and price it out. You may be surprised.

Damn! That’s like a really amazing deal. I’m paying $150/month = $9k/6 months. I’m going to call them again and ask if they’ve got a better deal for me at full coverage. Sigh.

Try Costco insurance, that was cheapest for me

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

I pay 1900 every 6 months in FL with progressive 🫠

Yikes.

That’s more than my Porsche

Ours is like $600 every six months for three vehicles on full coverage (1996 BMW 3-Series convertible, 2013 Honda Accord, 2017 Toyota Highlander) through Erie.

Not enough info. What’s your driving records? What coverage are you paying and at what deductible levels.

I pay $2000/ year for 3 vehicles.. 1 with full coveragw, another with liability and comp and another with agreed value/ and liability

What company?

Update: I tried 4-5 insurance companies.
I finally contacted Progressive and I did go with full coverage, but I did negotiate it down to $900 for 6 months as opposed to $1500

Holy crap how did you manage that?? Did you have to reduce coverage amounts or what? Please share!!

Wow I am also paying that much with progressive on a 2024 X3 M40 and an 04 STI per 6 months
