i'm probably going to be moving in the next month or two so i called up progressive today to see what my rate would be after i move. the results were a bit shocking.

i used to live in ohio, my rates were decent but then i graduated from college and the place where i work is right outside of cincinnati in northern kentucky. so i ended up moving to ky to save a commute, etc. well, after buying my tsx my insurance shot up a ton. i figured it was just b/c of the tsx...

so i'm moving back to ohio and getting a nice loft in downtown. i figured insurance would be insane for downtown cincinnati, well guess what? its not. in fact is almost 90$ a month CHEAPER than living in the suburbs of northern kentucky.

the only thing i can figure is KY is a no-fault state... but 90$ a month difference??

 

Man, I feel your pain. I graduated from college in December and moved here to Dallas for a job in January. Back in NC, my insurance was running about 650 for 6 months. But now, when I called Geico to change addresses I had to get a new policy. So keeping the exact same options, they wanted to quadrouple my rate to like 2748 for 6 months!! Fuck you Geico It gets even better that the woman tried to tell me that I was lucky to pay that and I should be happy. Morale of the story, I manged to call Progressive and got an awesome 1400 premium Guess its better than 500+ a month. Gotta love the insurance companies... bunch of damn snakes..

 

Wolfpack, I sypathize but prolix was making a point of his insurance being $90/mo. LESS in downtown Cincy than in Kentucky. Have you guys seen the insurance rates in NJ? Read some of the posts (do a search). The folks that live there are absolutely getting raped.

 

yeah, even at the higher rate mine is still nowhere near what people in NJ pay. i couldn't imagine paying some of those rates

 

Dallas is the Hail Capitol of the US.

 

True and I garage all the time with the exception of when it is on the road.

Insurance rates in Dallas vary widely on the county you live in. I live in Collin County but with a Dallas address. The rates are much less than actual Dallas County rates. I used to have a Dallas address in Denton County and the rates were even cheaper.

But in the end, all auto insurance is a SCAM IMO.

 

Anybody in the DC/ Baltimore area have rate info they'd like to share? I'm thinking of upgrading from a 96 Civic eventually and was just wondering what the hike would be. I'm just not in the mood right now to spend "15 minutes or less" (what an f-ing joke that is) with a Geico representative...Gracias.

 

prolix21 - i live in suburbs of cincy, and i work in NKY... i dont have my TSX yet though... mine insurance is going up $200 a year from my 97 civic... which i'm not pleased about... but it might have something to do with my tickets at the end of last year... yeah... maybe...

 

Don't feel sad. I have to pay US$3950.- for my 6 months premium, and guess what it even from progressive. I cannot find anything cheaper, but what can I do. My father won't let me use his name. I hope it will get cheaper soon.:'(
