so wawanesa only insures "good" drivers meaning at most 1 point...so what if you get 2 tickets for 2 points? will they just drop you???
honestly i have no idea.. i think max is 1 point in the last 3 years or something..

i doubt they would drop you...

but you have to have a good driving record to even be considered so it seems...

i never heard of em until i read about them here..

this is good info for those with clean records, but what of those like me who had a bad past on our records? lol yea i had a few incidents back in the day well almost 3-5 years ago now so ive grown up since then, anyways i just moved to cali from ny area so i had to look for new insurance after i got the s2k, and ive been looking day and night and the cheapest i found was 21century so i would recommend you atleast get a quote from them, i mean it doesnt hurt

I think it was from Tritium-Pie that i heard about Wawanesa.
When i got a quote for the S, it was around $900/year for 100/300/100,
less than half of my current policy with State Farm

If you have a Costco membership, you might try to buy through Costco (Wawanesa). It might be cheaper.

i have wawa and pay less than $100/month for full coverage + tow + rental reimburse. i haven't had to make a claim yet, but believe they have the highest ratings from JD Power or the like, and have had nothing but quick, friendly help anytime i've called with a question.

as for getting dropped ... they don't do their insurance by the 1/2, they always do it by the full year. i don't know if they would drop you if you accrued 2+ points, but if they did, it wouldn't be until the end of your full year.

I've heard good stories about claims through Wawanesa, but no personal experience. When I was shopping insurance, Wawanesa was the cheapest, and Mercury (whom I ended up going with) was the second cheapest. I did have one claim with Mercury and it went fine.

I've got Wawanesa and they are awesome. I have 100/300/100 with towing and rental and I pay $1206 a year for 01 S2k & 03 Ex Element. I've been with Wawanesa now for 2 years, no points.

I was paying $2100 a year with Mercury before.

My g/f was paying $2112 a year for 50/100 coverage on her 98 Civic with 1 point (Progressive)

She now pays $984 a month for higher 100/300 coverage with Wawanesa.

Wawanesa rocks!

I got a quote from them too... Costco doesn't go through Wawanesa, everywhere it said that you were being insured by American Express Insurance services or something like that..

rates were pretty high there actually..
