Default Car Insurance

Car insurance can be out of this world! Some companies charge an arm and a leg and they get away with it because people don't shop around for it. Most people just go down to the corner to their local agent and they sign a contract before looking around getting comparisons. Stupid!

I shopped and shopped because I can only afford so much. You have to have insurance because if not and you get caught, you will lose you license. Worse yet, if you get into an accident you are in lots of trouble!

I only have liability but at least I am covered and I am legal! My insurance costs me $29.00 a month. Thats not bad at all. I have my insurance through Progressive. Geico wanted to charge me $63 and Nationwide wanted $54. I am so glad I shopped around.

And I just recently got one of those letters in the mail requesting that I send in proof of insurance or I would lose my license. Thank goodness I have it!!!

Everyone should have insurance, sad to say but there are a whole lot of people out there on the roads with out insurance. It is scary.

Glad that you did shop around for your insurance. There are insurance companies who will nickle and dime you to death when it comes to insurance and then again there are those few who will offer great prices for insurance, you just have to be willing to take the time to find them.

Yes the governments way of getting more money from people, take away their license, and you pay a lot to get them back.I do know people this has happened to with one day of no insurance.

I shopped around till I found dirt cheap insurance for myself, and my husband, we ended up finding basic insurance for only 28 a month, that is cheap in today's world

I have my car insurance through Allstate. It is the basic insurance plus Uninsured Motorist and it only runs $26 per month.

The basic insurance is good but with it you need also to have Uninsured Motorist coverage for the following reason:

Quote:
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage protects you if the other driver in an accident is not insured. This insurance will cover the cost of injuries to you or your passengers in the event a driver who is responsible for an accident either has no insurance or insufficient insurance
So be sure that your basic car insurance also includes the Uninsured Motorist coverage. It doesnt add much at all to the cost of your policy as you see from the $26 a month that I pay for my insurance.

I found an insurance company that includes free 25 mile tows,lockouts,flat tire changes,and run out of gas they will bring me four gallons for free.

My insurance is the cheapest that I could find as well,the company is able auto and cycle insurance and they are the best around my area.

I was paying about thirty dollars more every six months with another company and did not even have the benefits that I just told you about.
