Cheapest Auto Insurance!

Hey guys,

I'm going to need to renew my insurance on my car so I'm looking for the cheapest Auto Insurance!! I have 3 pts on my record so the cheaper the better.

Anyone know of any auto Insurances i should check out for the CHEAPEST rates?

Also do i need full coverage on a leased car?

Thanks in advance!

I've used Geico for many years now. Every once in a while I get an offer from another company who says they can beat my current rates, but they never can. They also have very good customer service in my experience.
Not sure how they are with blemished driving records though -- mine is pretty clean (knock on wood).
Only drawback is that Geico subsidizes R&D in speed detection devices for law enforcement (more tickets, higher premiums).

Nobody cheap is going to take you with that track record. The least expensive companies are AAA of So Cal (not for profit company that returns its profit to its long time customers), Mercury (the only lesser expensive company that takes high risks like you) and 21st Century.

I used to have Geico insurance but I recently switched to Costco Auto Insurance. If you are a Costco member, I highly suggest you check them out. I saved about $100 every 6 months through Costco and I get better coverage.

18004INSURE if you want CHEAP rates(I had them for 3 yrs and no probs). Now I have Mercury, which is like the next cheapest rates I've found.

Usaa!!!

well, I'm glad I have USAA for auto, home, finance!!! The costs are also lower than G-Co...

* USAA, an insurance provider open only to the U.S. military community and their families and therefore not included in the official study rankings, achieved a satisfaction ranking slightly above Amica.

USAA is the only way to go if you qualify. It is only good for US Military and their families. My Wife's Father was (he died many years ago) Coast Guard. (side note, My wife got to grow up in Light Houses in Hawaii before they automated them) Our kids also can use USAA because of their Grandfathers service. I am not sure if USAA is available for enlisted personnel

It is, and has been for at least 5 years. That's their "bread & butter" now!
