I just renewed last week and dropped Progressive. With no accidents/tickets I was paying $890 or so for 6 months with Progressive. Wawanesa's quotes are for 1 year and I must have misread it the first time 6 months ago but it is only $1100 for an ENTIRE year. Try getting a quote from Wawanesa. However be careful if you have Progressive, they have a $50 cancellation fee and it's in fine print and they never tell you about it and you have no way to look up how much it is until you ask them about it.

I just got my policy renewal from Geico, it went from $1400/yr to $740/yr. My car now costs less to insure than my gf's 1997 Civic.

If you have a clean record, wawanesa is by far the cheapest, mercury is second

Im 23, 06 Evo IX, live in SJ, and I pay 1280/YEAR

Yours should be lower than that

Take 5 minutes and have wawanesa send you a quote (they have to mail it to you, takes 2-3 days)
