Try looking up the Maryland Insurance Administration home page
on the web at http://www.gacc.com/mia/ where they have all
Maryland automobile insurance providers rates listed in one 
large table.  It's easy to see who has the lowest rates. 

(Rex of course isn't allowed to look there because he
doesn't live in Maryland.  No peeking Rex!)
