Default Need Help With Insurance!

Hey I'm 20, super clean record, male, nothing bad but I keep getting quotes for over $300 a month! I've seen other people that have gotten $130 a month and my dealer told me that is bout right for the xb. If anyone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Well, your location also comes you play. If you live in a city, your insurance will be higher compared to the 'burbs. Also make sure your insurance classify's your xB as a VAN! The Government classifies it as a VAN. State Farm classifies the xB as a VAN as well.

I dont want to hear anyone complaining about insuranace. At one time I was paying 4k a year. Most of it not my fault. Two stolen cars I had to make claims against, plus I ran over a woman that involved a fatality (not my fault). Still had to make a insurance claim plus my ins. com. offered the family a settlement to avoid lawsuits. Thank God I got married and turned 26!!!!!!!

my point in asking the ages of the people who pay "700 a year" is if their 35, and im 20- its like apples to oranges!!

You can also look into discounts. AAA gives a discount if you brlong to a credit uniion. Other discounts I have heard of are Sam's Club/Costco, various teacher, military, profesional organizations (engineering etc).

basicly just ask how to get the price down and keep shopping around.

I have my insurance with Progressive. Disounnt for being a Sam's club member. Their price is a little higher than others I found but they give youi a big discount if you pay in bill in full every 6 months
