I totally get where you're coming from. It can definitely feel like insurance companies are making things harder for people, especially with how expensive it can get. But on the flip side, insurance can really help out when something unexpected happens-like a car accident or medical emergency. I think part of the problem is that some companies charge way too much, which makes it feel like a scam. But not all of them are like that. For example, Insurance Panda has car insurance starting at just $25/month, which is way more reasonable than most. I guess it's about finding the right company that doesn’t overcharge you.

Same. In the past 24 months my liability only insurance, no tickets or accidents for years. Went from 177$ every 6 months to 317$ every 6 months. Just turned 71 years old. The older i get the greater the cost. Just no reason for this. No wonder so many uninsured motorists on the streets 10:05

@@rockygraziano2339 The answer lies in the response you provided. At the age of 71, and especially after turning 60, insurance carriers categorize you as a high-risk driver, akin to a teenage driver.

Leslie, progressive being one of the better price and perceived companies on your list, absolutely floors me. It is who I have now and while I knew an insurance increase was coming from my area I was not expecting a 43% increase in my bill. With no tickets or accidents from October to November, my policy increased by that much, 40%. I’m paying more than my car value in 10 months of coverage through them.

They just decided to jack up my rate from $60/mo to $98/mo because I had them switch me over to a car which has more safety features and is 8 years newer. What a pathetic slimy company. I'll be cancelling and looking elsewhere if they don't drop it back down.

my rate for farm bureau NC is currently 80$ a month was paying 60 for Geico but they raised it to 110$ so I switched. I just have liability for 2 cars.
I had USAA for 6 years, & I am very disappointed. They dropped me without notice & they over charged. Haven’t been in an accident & because I was a new driver the fees were extremely high. Never again.
For some reason, The best Auto Insurance rate I could get was Allstate, but you're not in good hands with Allstate. They don't stand behind repairs. I have 2 messed up cars that I am having to finish up repairs by myself because not done correctly, and Allstate did not stand behind repairs. I switched to USAA for lower rates, but almost immediately, they started raising my rates. My homeowner's insurance last week, I found, had skyrocketed from 1200$ a year to 5400$ a year, so now in a panic trying to find reasonable insurance. Allstate is now expensive!
@@TheWardenMark I already found better insurance for cheaper. I am not sure if the problem is living in WA State or because leukemia has made a mess of my life and credit (I have heard that many Insurance companies are also in financial trouble). The help I need is finding a part-time job as a Physician. An MD with controlled leukemia who hasn't worked in 4 years is not a hot commodity even though we have a shortage. Discrimination against a person with a disability doesn't seem to apply to Physicians! Is "good to go" legitimate? Most insurance services seem to take you to the same expensive insurance companies. My insurance stayed the same for almost 20 years and suddenly skyrocketed. I will check it out anyway. Sometimes, you get lucky.

No accidents, No tickets, No claims I was paying $196 a month which I thought was high and I just received a message from USAA that my insurance is increasing and My February - August premiums will be $615 a month! Somebody please make sense of this for me?
Tell them you are cancelling unless they drop it back down. Cheapest quote I've seen is through "Progressive Direct". Do it online yourself, don't go through an agent who wants to make a commission.
farm bureau of nc is currently 80$ for 2017 charger and 1993 aerostar was paying 60$ for geico but they raised on me to 110$ a month. just for liabality
Wawanesa raised it 45% No tickets, claims, or accidents. It seems all car insurance premiums are being raised to make up for their losses of their customers with electric vehicles that are so expensive to repair/replace.
May I ask 1) if the same vehicle was used throughout for comparison, 2) age of vehicle, 3) type of vehicle? Also, I agree with the source article in dropping USAA down ... I mean I know EVERYBODY raised rates this year tremendously with the first renewal due in 2023, but USAA was 30% increase! The 'raise' coincidently exactly cancelled my 30% 'savings' for allowing their telltale Safe Driver app on my phone. Honestly, its almost unsustainable at this point. Thanks for the deep dive and your recommendations.
Edit: It was actually dig-in when I finally tried that combination to find the article ... and disregard my first 3 questions as the article didn't say either?
What needs to happen is that people set up insurance companies outside the fascist corporate government. Unsustainable is right! Why should people support outright ROBBERY? It's unbelievable how corrupt this country has become. It's always been corrupted but never to this level.

I’m with Toyota insurance when I started with them I was paying around $230 per month for full coverage on 1 car I hit a deer and had a total claim because of it they went up to $580 per month something to think about
Insurance companies are SCAMS. Unfortunately, not many people realize that and keep paying outrageous amounts. I play musical insurance companies. When they raise my rates, I move on and can usually find a better deal. Unfortunately, I have "bottomed out." My insurance company just raised my rates for no reason. I am not happy about it, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything for less. It's just the principle of the whole thing. They raise rates because they can. They don't care a thing about customer loyalty or good driving records.
Great video with very detailed information on each company. Incredibly done and thank you for the thoroughness!! This is a line of business where pricing is prevalent and people are also constantly taking advantage of since insurance is a necessity for basic human life
Which do you think is the best for an SR-22 included? This was already a Great help, exact the information I was looking for. Thank you so ao kich, you saved me a lot of time

Liberty Mutual's policy premium on my 2022 Toyota Corolla LE is $2312, for 9/2024-9/2025, No accidents or tickets. (Liability premium is $455, Collision $1447, and some small ticket items) This is a LOT MORE than the bargain that Think Ins quoted, earlier in the year. Liberty Mut has gone automated & is very hard to reach. They're slow to respond to claims & Low Mileage report. Worst of all, their monthly payment jumped $100 in Oct 2024! Will be shopping around. I didn't mean to get so much electronic overkill in this car, bought 2 months ago. So much to go wrong, like the automatic parking brake! It's tempting to get just liability ins, and when my car gets damaged, I'll buy something that's easily repaired--and take the bus more.
Haven’t had a new car since about 8yrs I ended up buying a 2020 SUV $400 was the lowest. Mind you I have no accidents no speeding tickets nothing It’s crazy out here
"insurance is a scam!" As an agent, I've had clients tell me I'm a scammer until something happens and dont have enough cash in their account or any sort of insurance to cover damages. Then they call me back wanting insurance after it had already happened but at this point, it's already too late and won't be covered. At the end of the day, we have the final laugh at these kind of people.
I hate it when people say Yes I understand that you want it cheap, but you're not really getting enough coverage or your coverage should be in different areas and yes that will make your rate go up a little bit but it's worth it because... If I can't afford my mandatory state minimum insurance, what makes you think that I have the money to shell out for extra insurance? If I am drowning because of the cheapest payment option I have because my insurance company keeps raising their rate every renewal period for no fault of my own but just because of inflation, when my job does not pay me more because of inflation, how are you supposed to sit there and judge that I want the bare minimum for my car insurance, when I have to go through an insurance agent, and insurance agents make commission? How in the world is this a system built on reason, how is this not just screwing the consumer on every line, and how is it not the best option to save up your own emergency fund while paying the bare legal minimum for car insurance?
Especially because at the end of the day, if you do actually get into an accident, you will have to fight with literally any insurance to get coverage for the things that you have been paying for coverage for, while likely working the same hours that your insurance agent does, so you would literally have to take a day off from your own job, or call your auto insurance agent from the hospital if you were in a really really bad accident, just for the office's secretary to answer and say that he'll give you a call right back and then play phone tag for a week.
I had USAA in Michigan moved to North Carolina kept USAA and was vary happy with the pricing but when I moved back to Michigan last year I was told they didn't provide auto coverage to the "Grenadier" level anymore in Michigan and Michigan is the only state they don't cover.
I called USAA because my grandfather served in WWII (3rd generation removed) - and they were a crap shoot. Nothing differentiating between the others. I will not choose Geico because of their stupid advertising campaigns (just drop the Gecko thing already). My policies reside with Progressive because they give me the least amount of bullshit with the most amount of savings. I have a perfect record however.
I was with USAA for 14 years. About 2 years ago my monthly payments was 1400 a month fir 4 vehicles. Direct auto only charges me 867 with the same benefits. Same vehicles. Whats worst. When i called to part ways, the representative was so rude to me. Im like, so yall had the biggwst smile over the 14 years i spent there but once I got tired of going broke, thats when then attitude came.
I have 6 years with All State here in Las Vegas and there are already two increases in two years. I have had a full cover but then I changed it to basic because of the increase, I have a clean record in 3 cars, they say the reason for the increase is always because all the insurances have gone up and in Nevada there is a lot of driver without insurance and many accidents, blah, blah, blah. I’m frustrated, I don’t know which one you recommend me to give me a competitive price and average or basic coverage? Thank you 🙏🏼
That's not true most insurance companies do what they call a soft credit history or credit check on a potential or future customer. And no that does not ding your credit they still look at your credit when evaluating you.@@TruckingaccrossUSA
They don't charge you for making changes to your policy That's absolutely ridiculous. If you add more coverage they will increase the price. But now they do not charge you to change a policy whether you go up or down on your coverage.
My guy! Thanks for the comment. All though I do give my opinion on here I did make the video you're talking about with all my picks. It's on my channel from a few months back
What two states are you comparing? Just keep in mind, whichever state the car is keep the majority of the time is the state you’re required to use. Usually wherever your primary residence is
@@ThinkInsurance From what I understand, u can have a SD plate & live somewhere else. The driver's license may be questionable. The two I'm considering r NV & SD.
They’re usually ranked lower than Geico and State Farm but do contend with higher risk areas and drivers. It’s more of a backup to my backup option for me
Hartford has been one of those okay companies that slowly grow. The have decent coverage, decent reviews and good about their day. They remind me of Mercury and Farmers
these prices are not even close to reality at least in Michigan he's quoting 6 mos policies prices not yearly prices and all of them are half of what they really are for 6 mos. this info must be from 10 years ago not in 2023
I had a not great year with accidents and a speeding ticket and suddenly this year (4 months after an at fault accident involving only my vehicle) and suddenly my monthly rate went up by 250$ from my last one with Progressive. Trying to find out who might be the best to go to. Based on this video I’m leaning towards Geico or AAA because I have great credit but was curious what you think.
All crooks, they should put on the bill their overall profit once a year....rate goes up around 20.00 every 6 month on renewal saying cost of auto repair, a d I have no claims...
I got a newer car and Geico wanted to charge me $150 dollars a month for a 2017 escape and I have no violations wtf. So I went to progressive and am now paying $107 /month that’s still high for someone with no violations but it’s full coverage and better than$150
FFFFFFK I need a way out of this insurance, I have a note on my car and every insurance company I've gone to is draining my bank account every month. This is 4x what I was paying just last year!!
I filled out the form in the link that you provided yesterday and have heard nothing. Was expecting various quotes today. Was this a data harvesting thing?
Lol, you give me too much credit for data harvesting… I can look into it if you want to reply to the thank you email. I have 50ish agents signed up to help in various states right now but it might be time to find more 🤷🏽♂️
Pretty good I pay 205$ for a ford f250 used to pay 180$ apparently we pay more. If they are more accidents in our area. And apparently for luxury cars it's more 280 for a e63 amg.
We need laws where the plan max per person and accident has to go up directly with the increase in the price percentage. If they increase the price of a 100/300/100 policy 50% then it should become a 150/450/150 policy. The payout never rises with inflation. Imagine 100 years from now the insurance payout won't even cover half a Corolla. But they'll be collecting to cover Ferrari's.
Hugo is a whole video in itself. They are a tech company selling insurance based on the pay as you go model. Last time I checked, the ability to turn your insurance on/off was only available in CA Ana IL and, they left CA. Whenever someone says, we’re techies and engineers first and insurance second, I tend to get a little scared. They could be a good company but I need to do more research on them.
Because California has laws that restrict them from making certain increases. Good for you the driver but we’re seeing it not be good because the insurance companies can’t afford to operate with a profit.
I have never ever paid anywhere near what this guy is saying the minimum average is and i always carry full coverage right now I pay $500 a year for full coverage

GEICO tend to be for high risk and new drivers? Never new that. Been with them foe 35 years and there is no advantage in having a live agent anyway since they're only available during business hours and sometimes not accessible at all. The 1-800 customer service is available 24/7. Reasonable rates too.
I was paying $138mo. For full coverage in Phoenix AZ mo. I moved to Utica New York, paid off my 2008 Nissan Versa and got liability and pay $370mo. What the? Why?
You moved from a state that is not a sanctuary state. Prices are cheaper on insurance than in a sanctuary state, which NY is. Why? Because you must help pay for all the uninsured motorists that sanctuary states attract.
I live in Illinois. MetroMile for 5 years, now they are no longer writing new business in Illinois. Nationwide refused to cover me (no accidents or claims for many many years), Liberty Mutual wanted $600 for 6 months. Almost went with Allstate, but their computer servers kept crashing (allegedly). Now with GEICO starting March 1, $283 for 6 months.
How are these prices legal? My 19 year old son recently bought a 2015 f150 and his insurance payment is $350 a month. He's paying less for his truck payment. SMH
Worst thing you can do is stay with same insurance company year after year. They will increase your premiums even if you had no claims, even as your car gets older. They don't care...there is no logic to what they are doing. They will blame the weather, the area you live in, climate change, your age...anything. I look for better rates every single year. It is easy with today's technology, And every company loves new customer (for a year). I learned to play their game.
I had geico for 4 months and then they kicked me off because I got into a car accident but it was a no fault accident so they wrote my car off and kicked me off 4 months later because they renew your policy every 6 months 🙄
"... they charge good drivers for the BAD drivers..."; YES, it is the insurance companies' model; it's called "spreaded-risk". same concept as Las Vegas; house always wins!!! problem is DMV asks for proof of insurance before renewing the tag. some people, buy it for 6 mo's and go without for the next 6 mo's.
Out of 20 companies I checked 20 companies Farmers is the highest so far. Out of those 12 are Allstate just with different agents and different prices. LMAO and of course high market values are not helping one bit.

This just happening to me over “ signature” I was never required to sign when I have Purchased coverage in the past . Thanks for nothing Progressive
I just left USAA after 14 years. They were overcharging me for insurance and did not want to adjust my premium.
What insurance you’re with now? I’m shopping for bundle insurance
My dad works for Allstate and still gets GEICO because even with the Allstate benefits GEICO is cheaper
For some reason, The best Auto Insurance rate I could get was Allstate, but you're not in good hands with Allstate. They don't stand behind repairs. I have 2 messed up cars that I am having to finish up repairs by myself because not done correctly, and Allstate did not stand behind repairs. I switched to USAA for lower rates, but almost immediately, they started raising my rates. My homeowner's insurance last week, I found, had skyrocketed from 1200$ a year to 5400$ a year, so now in a panic trying to find reasonable insurance. Allstate is now expensive!
Have you tried Good 2 Go?
@@TheWardenMark I already found better insurance for cheaper. I am not sure if the problem is living in WA State or because leukemia has made a mess of my life and credit (I have heard that many Insurance companies are also in financial trouble). The help I need is finding a part-time job as a Physician. An MD with controlled leukemia who hasn't worked in 4 years is not a hot commodity even though we have a shortage. Discrimination against a person with a disability doesn't seem to apply to Physicians! Is "good to go" legitimate? Most insurance services seem to take you to the same expensive insurance companies. My insurance stayed the same for almost 20 years and suddenly skyrocketed. I will check it out anyway. Sometimes, you get lucky.
Get a quote online with progressive, you can adjust how much coverage you want to adjust price. With only liability I got my rate to around $60/month

NC 45yo male USAA all my life I have 3 - early 2000's Chevy trucks and a 2007 Acura TSX all paid for. No accidents, No tickets, No claims I was paying $196 a month which I thought was high and I just received a message from USAA that my insurance is increasing and My February - August premiums will be $615 a month! Somebody please make sense of this for me?
Tell them you are cancelling unless they drop it back down. Cheapest quote I've seen is through "Progressive Direct". Do it online yourself, don't go through an agent who wants to make a commission.
We have to stand up
I switched to NC Farm Bureau same coverage I had with USAA $132 a month@@canwejustloveeachother2550
farm bureau of nc is currently 80$ for 2017 charger and 1993 aerostar was paying 60$ for geico but they raised on me to 110$ a month. just for liabality

What’s the best insurance if you need to add a youth driver?My StateFarm is going up from $110 to over $500 monthly for a 3k car I purchased for him.
I have a couple of videos that are meant for young drivers. Geico might be an option.
Geico just raised their prices by about $20-$25 per month in Arizona...
This is nothing.
Usaa double my insurance rate. Went from 150 to 300 a month…. No tickets or accidents
get an online quote from progressive direct. cheapest I've seen so far. all of the companies are getting greedy though.
Yeah i switch to progressive save $300 over 6 months from usaa. I gotta keep shopping every 6 months thou.
Wawanesa raised it 45% No tickets, claims, or accidents. It seems all car insurance premiums are being raised to make up for their losses of their customers with electric vehicles that are so expensive to repair/replace.
Wait... it literally doubled??? Damn! Over a long period of time? A month?
@@jjman533 Oh i remember wawanesa years ago back in san diego. I remember they were extremely cheap around $15 or $20. 45%? wow smh
I have progressive but looking for a cheaper insurance i bank at think is there insurance good?
ALLSTATE? It costs a lot of money to have two NFL quarterbacks in your commercial. Who do you think is paying for that?
May I ask 1) if the same vehicle was used throughout for comparison, 2) age of vehicle, 3) type of vehicle? Also, I agree with the source article in dropping USAA down ... I mean I know EVERYBODY raised rates this year tremendously with the first renewal due in 2023, but USAA was 30% increase! The 'raise' coincidently exactly cancelled my 30% 'savings' for allowing their telltale Safe Driver app on my phone. Honestly, its almost unsustainable at this point. Thanks for the deep dive and your recommendations.
Edit: It was actually dig-in when I finally tried that combination to find the article ... and disregard my first 3 questions as the article didn't say either?
What needs to happen is that people set up insurance companies outside the fascist corporate government. Unsustainable is right! Why should people support outright ROBBERY? It's unbelievable how corrupt this country has become. It's always been corrupted but never to this level.
I live in Pennsylvania and companies like donegal, erie, and Penn National seem to be very reasonable. Do you ever do location-based surveys are these companies usually cheaper
all you complaining about 2,3-400$ I’m quoted 700$!!! At 19 ,it’s ridiculous.

That's crazy. That's more than a car payment
@@alfx5432 I completely agree inflation has gone way out of control
Insurance companies are SCAMS. Unfortunately, not many people realize that and keep paying outrageous amounts. I play musical insurance companies. When they raise my rates, I move on and can usually find a better deal. Unfortunately, I have "bottomed out." My insurance company just raised my rates for no reason. I am not happy about it, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything for less. It's just the principle of the whole thing. They raise rates because they can. They don't care a thing about customer loyalty or good driving records.
Great video with very detailed information on each company. Incredibly done and thank you for the thoroughness!! This is a line of business where pricing is prevalent and people are also constantly taking advantage of since insurance is a necessity for basic human life
and liability ins is required in most (all?) states.
Which do you think is the best for an SR-22 included? This was already a Great help, exact the information I was looking for. Thank you so ao kich, you saved me a lot of time
have you decided or gotten any followup answers to this question? i am in the same boat.

@shotty. Progressive and Geico and maybe Root are competitive for higher risk and SR22. Sometimes the local high risk company if you find one like Cure Auto if they’re in your state
Liberty Mutual's policy premium on my 2022 Toyota Corolla LE is $2312, for 9/2024-9/2025, No accidents or tickets. (Liability premium is $455, Collision $1447, and some small ticket items) This is a LOT MORE than the bargain that Think Ins quoted, earlier in the year. Liberty Mut has gone automated & is very hard to reach. They're slow to respond to claims & Low Mileage report. Worst of all, their monthly payment jumped $100 in Oct 2024! Will be shopping around. I didn't mean to get so much electronic overkill in this car, bought 2 months ago. So much to go wrong, like the automatic parking brake! It's tempting to get just liability ins, and when my car gets damaged, I'll buy something that's easily repaired--and take the bus more.
USAA is definitely not cheap, at least in Florida lol. They are always about a grand more every 6 months.
Bro that's cheap af
Haven’t had a new car since about 8yrs
I ended up buying a 2020 SUV $400 was the lowest. Mind you I have no accidents no speeding tickets nothing
It’s crazy out here
Did you get liability only?
"insurance is a scam!" As an agent, I've had clients tell me I'm a scammer until something happens and dont have enough cash in their account or any sort of insurance to cover damages. Then they call me back wanting insurance after it had already happened but at this point, it's already too late and won't be covered. At the end of the day, we have the final laugh at these kind of people.
We gotta get rid of, Joe Biden.
I hate it when people say Yes I understand that you want it cheap, but you're not really getting enough coverage or your coverage should be in different areas and yes that will make your rate go up a little bit but it's worth it because... If I can't afford my mandatory state minimum insurance, what makes you think that I have the money to shell out for extra insurance? If I am drowning because of the cheapest payment option I have because my insurance company keeps raising their rate every renewal period for no fault of my own but just because of inflation, when my job does not pay me more because of inflation, how are you supposed to sit there and judge that I want the bare minimum for my car insurance, when I have to go through an insurance agent, and insurance agents make commission? How in the world is this a system built on reason, how is this not just screwing the consumer on every line, and how is it not the best option to save up your own emergency fund while paying the bare legal minimum for car insurance?
Especially because at the end of the day, if you do actually get into an accident, you will have to fight with literally any insurance to get coverage for the things that you have been paying for coverage for, while likely working the same hours that your insurance agent does, so you would literally have to take a day off from your own job, or call your auto insurance agent from the hospital if you were in a really really bad accident, just for the office's secretary to answer and say that he'll give you a call right back and then play phone tag for a week.
@@JamieJohnson-on2jz What you're saying is hideous, but sadly, sounds very possible.
I had USAA in Michigan moved to North Carolina kept USAA and was vary happy with the pricing but when I moved back to Michigan last year I was told they didn't provide auto coverage to the "Grenadier" level anymore in Michigan and Michigan is the only state they don't cover.
It's all based on your credit, and zip code of incompetent drivers that lead to higher premiums. Folks refuse to drive smart, competent.
I called USAA because my grandfather served in WWII (3rd generation removed) - and they were a crap shoot. Nothing differentiating between the others. I will not choose Geico because of their stupid advertising campaigns (just drop the Gecko thing already). My policies reside with Progressive because they give me the least amount of bullshit with the most amount of savings. I have a perfect record however.
I was with USAA for 14 years. About 2 years ago my monthly payments was 1400 a month fir 4 vehicles.
Direct auto only charges me 867 with the same benefits.
Same vehicles.
Whats worst. When i called to part ways, the representative was so rude to me. Im like, so yall had the biggwst smile over the 14 years i spent there but once I got tired of going broke, thats when then attitude came.
I have a 2016 Kia Soul and insurance rates $200-$400 /month?
I have 6 years with All State here in Las Vegas and there are already two increases in two years. I have had a full cover but then I changed it to basic because of the increase, I have a clean record in 3 cars, they say the reason for the increase is always because all the insurances have gone up and in Nevada there is a lot of driver without insurance and many accidents, blah, blah, blah. I’m frustrated, I don’t know which one you recommend me to give me a competitive price and average or basic coverage? Thank you 🙏🏼
Your situation is identical to mine with Allstate. They went up $80 last year and another $80 this year.

do i get dinged on my credit report every time i get a quote for car insurance?
Has nothing to do with your credit
That's not true most insurance companies do what they call a soft credit history or credit check on a potential or future customer. And no that does not ding your credit they still look at your credit when evaluating you.@@TruckingaccrossUSA
Great video keep up the good work
But geico charges you for making changes to you policy
They don't charge you for making changes to your policy That's absolutely ridiculous. If you add more coverage they will increase the price. But now they do not charge you to change a policy whether you go up or down on your coverage.
You’re reading from an article? Would rather be hearing YOUR advice.

@@GHE2005 That's usually insurance fraud, unless you're in the military & moving around. It might be hard to get re-insured if they catch up with you?
General insurance? Any thoughts??
They’re usually ranked lower than Geico and State Farm but do contend with higher risk areas and drivers. It’s more of a backup to my backup option for me
That’s why I don’t pay for insurance. just be super cautious. Going 30 yrs strong 💪
Liberty is moving to 6 month. Just got off the phone with them to see if I could get my rate lowered.
Like your vidoes, any comments on Hartford Auto Insurance?
Hartford has been one of those okay companies that slowly grow. The have decent coverage, decent reviews and good about their day. They remind me of Mercury and Farmers
How long does it take to get to the point

these prices are not even close to reality at least in Michigan he's quoting 6 mos policies prices not yearly prices and all of them are half of what they really are for 6 mos. this info must be from 10 years ago not in 2023
I had a not great year with accidents and a speeding ticket and suddenly this year (4 months after an at fault accident involving only my vehicle) and suddenly my monthly rate went up by 250$ from my last one with Progressive. Trying to find out who might be the best to go to. Based on this video I’m leaning towards Geico or AAA because I have great credit but was curious what you think.
Both are worth a look. :)

Are these prices per quarter, 6 month or year?
I didn’t find exactly where it said but I’m confident it’s annually

I’m paying like 187 I’m new to all this I’d like to know what you think of that price
Not bad....
Pretty good I pay 205$ for a ford f250 used to pay 180$ apparently we pay more. If they are more accidents in our area. And apparently for luxury cars it's more 280 for a e63 amg.
We need laws where the plan max per person and accident has to go up directly with the increase in the price percentage. If they increase the price of a 100/300/100 policy 50% then it should become a 150/450/150 policy. The payout never rises with inflation. Imagine 100 years from now the insurance payout won't even cover half a Corolla. But they'll be collecting to cover Ferrari's.
SERIOUSLY i got screwed by All State Insurance they dontt like paying claims . Will deny a claim they obviously owe
what about the hugo insurance? can you tell me ?
Hugo is a whole video in itself. They are a tech company selling insurance based on the pay as you go model. Last time I checked, the ability to turn your insurance on/off was only available in CA Ana IL and, they left CA.
Whenever someone says, we’re techies and engineers first and insurance second, I tend to get a little scared. They could be a good company but I need to do more research on them.
@@ThinkInsurance When someone is as poor as I am all I care about is having it legal to be able to drive.
@@ThinkInsurancedamn they always leave Cali :/ why is that??
Because California has laws that restrict them from making certain increases. Good for you the driver but we’re seeing it not be good because the insurance companies can’t afford to operate with a profit.

I was paying $138mo. For full coverage in Phoenix AZ mo. I moved to Utica New York, paid off my 2008 Nissan Versa and got liability and pay $370mo. What the? Why?
You moved from a state that is not a sanctuary state. Prices are cheaper on insurance than in a sanctuary state, which NY is. Why? Because you must help pay for all the uninsured motorists that sanctuary states attract.

Worst thing you can do is stay with same insurance company year after year. They will increase your premiums even if you had no claims, even as your car gets older. They don't care...there is no logic to what they are doing. They will blame the weather, the area you live in, climate change, your age...anything. I look for better rates every single year. It is easy with today's technology, And every company loves new customer (for a year). I learned to play their game.
Geico and progressive have given me the highest quotes yet and stay away from state farm as they are very hard to pay out.
I had geico for 4 months and then they kicked me off because I got into a car accident but it was a no fault accident so they wrote my car off and kicked me off 4 months later because they renew your policy every 6 months 🙄
"... they charge good drivers for the BAD drivers..."; YES, it is the insurance companies' model; it's called "spreaded-risk". same concept as Las Vegas; house always wins!!!
problem is DMV asks for proof of insurance before renewing the tag. some people, buy it for 6 mo's and go without for the next 6 mo's.
