I'd definitely agree with the person who recommended Allstate.

Once upon a time, I was insured by low-life insurance people, but who were
cheap (not MAIF, the kiss-of-death, but one of their low-cost rivals).  They
decided to get respectable one day, where respectable = charging a 23-year-
old driver with NO history of accidents $1000 per year for the absolute least
coverage that Maryland allows.

I jumped ship, and was comfortable with Aetna for a couple of years;  I had to
pay between $700 and $800 per year for the right to drive my car, but I had
the insurance.

When I bought another car (another used vehicle, over ten years old), for the
purpose of having a working spare around :-), Aetna wanted to double the rate
almost exactly.  Not even a teenie-weenie break for having one car which would
sit and *rust* 90% of the time (I'm not married, don't live with family, and
don't lend my cars out to people).

So I jumped ship again.  Allstate charges me a bit more (for BOTH of my aged
but operable vehicles) than Aetna charged me for one.  Go ye and talk to an
Allstate rep.  Save money.

Your mileage may vary according to where you live, how old you are, and what
your sex is.


P.S. Yeah, the whole 25/30 thing is a crock.  When I was 18, I looked forward
     turning 25, because insurance people assured me that it would make a
     difference in my insurance.  So would getting married, of course, but
     that would have been a *bit* extreme just to get lower insurance rates.
     Finally, I turned 25;  by then, I was gravitating to a "better" (more
     reputable) kind of insurance company, mostly by osmosis.  When I got
     there, I found out that 25 was no longer the magic age;  I had to live
     to be 30 to get those benefits.
     Well, it was almost worth it.  Now if they'll just give back my youthful
     optimism, boundless energy, and satirical-cynical (as opposed to weary-
     and-unamused-cynical) point of view, I'll feel positively WONderful.
