    Any suggestion to a cheap auto liabilty insurance company ?

    In just over 30 days mine will no longer carry auto ins. Googled cheap auto insurance today, hoping maybe to find a thread on a forum somewhere discussing it, and read through the first 12 pages or so of the results, which all seemed to be more or less baited advertisements. Then I went to CL forums (I hate cl forums!) and did a search, absolutely nothing there either.

    The daughter and I just got our ins thru State Farm and it was 120 dollars a month cheaper than Progressive and we got better coverage. Mine is PL/PD only but her's is full coverage on a 2010 Fusion. We're paying $124. mo. for 2 cars,,, with 100,000 coverage, not state minimum.

    As a long time customer of State Farm I have called and compared with others companies and I'm still with them. I might be getting a better rate since I have 20+years with them, I'm not sure. I pay about $45/month for two vehicles,pu and van, not full coverage just the minimum. Mike

    Contact ALFA. I have them through one of their sub contractors here in my local area. The CHEAPEST car insurance I have ever had.

    Look for small mom and pop auto insurance companies that specialize in everything, and see what they can do.

    Mine, told me earlier this month when I paid my bill, that they can give me General Liability for my business, and Workers Comp Insurance. Told the lady, her and I will be starting those policies here very soon. I have been having migraines figuring out a good company to go with, but they are so easy to work with, that it is like a dream, really.

    Personally, I like to have insurance that has an agent you can call anytime you have a problem, with those deep discount places your lucky if you can even talk to a person.

    I'm with State Farm and have been with them for years. 63.00 a month for both shop trucks (one full coverage). I have my agent's cell phone number in my phonebook and they have never let me down. I have been rear ended 6 times and they have taken care of everything with one phone call.

    Impossible to answer that question all depends on your age and amount of accidents and tickets you have had in say past 5 years

    The cheapest could wind up costing you everything you own or will ever own. Look for the coverage and available agent, not the cost.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I currently have progressive, and pay $100/mo for a 2004 tacoma for commercial insurance w/ full coverage. Insurance is very expensive in Sacramento; when I moved from Napa in 2000, my insurance doubled on my car at the time. At that time, I had State Farm, and their service outclasses any other agency that I have had.
