I'm currently using Mercury. I've gotten quotes from Progressive, 21st Century, and many other online insurance quoting systems, but none were able to beat my current deal.

I'm male and it hurts to say the statistics reflect me never had a fender bender or any type of other small accident in 5 years, but i've totaled one car

Actually, women have better hand-eye coordination then men. That's why in sports like pool, shooting, and archery, female athletes are an equal to the male atheletes if not better. It's just that us guys do a lot of stupid stuff when we are driving. As for me, it turned out that Geico was cheapest among what I compared at $730 / 6months for an Audi A6 quattro (esurance, Progressive, and others). I think I might have gotten a cheaper rate at Allstate but that involves actually calling someone. Plus, I don't have much faith in Allstate anyway. I don't know how you guys get such cheap insurance rates. Maybe it's the difference in coverage since I opted for pretty good coverage overall.

Hey guys,
I have a question for ya. I'm 28 and I'm about to get my license and located in San Francisco, CA. Now the question is I noticed that most people when they were drivers were covered under a existing family members
policy for auto insurance. However, I tried to get quotes and the range was from $4500-$5000 per year. Anyone know why the heck they charge so much? or is there a way around it since I can probably buy a few cars already with the amounts they are charging for insurance and anyone have any suggestions on what coverage to get? Thanks.

If the lowest rate you can possibly get is $4500-5000 per year, the solution is: Dont drive. For that kind of money, for most people it would completely offset the convenience of driving. For $4000/ year, I would gladly give up driving. Sell your car, and now you've got some $ and save the $4000 to boot. Use the money to take the bus everywhere, or even buy one of those crazy new Segway scooters. Or maybe not, those things are freakin' expensive.
