Car Insurance
May. 17th, 2010 05:57 pmLast week, we received a notice for our semi-annual Ameriprise car insurance premium due in July. It's gone up quite a bit, from $960 semi-annually to $1,223.
Today, I telephoned to reduce our deductibles from $100 to $500, reducing our premium to $1,016.
A few months ago, we checked with State Farm but their quote was $200 higher than Ameriprise. A friend recommended Liberty Mutual: they are $312 more expensive than our current Ameriprise policy, even with a 5% University of Maryland alumnus discount.
I'm going to keep digging around to see what else I might potentially find. What I'd really like is some sort of online insurance brokerage where I could put in all of our data in one shot then have it obtain quotes from various insurance companies. Anyone know of such a facility?
Edit: Progressive's web site quoted us $987. Their comparison rate feature only offered a number from one company, Allstate, and that was $1269 at the low end.
Edit2: Esurance quoted us $906 semi-annually, 21st Century $1,066.71.
