Can anyone give me some input on their Insurance company? I'm paying way too much and trying to see what's a good company and not.

I was originally with Progressive and then switched to Geico and saved $55/mo =)

I've tried AAA, State Farm, Progressive and Geico. Mercury seems to have the lowest rates for me so far. More inputs please

Since you are high risk, no way my insurance would take you. Mercury is usually fairly decent for your rate bracket.

Call Geico they are always the cheapest. But with your record, be thankful someone will insure you.

The points and your age is what is making your premium high. And since you need full coverage for a car being financed adds to it. Drive like grandma till the points drop off and it goes significantly lower once 25. Can't get around it for being a high risk
