Forget the Gecko

The cost to insure your car has been going up in recent years. It's expected to continue to increase this year. There are steps you can take to keep your costs down:
- Ask your insurer if your policy is in line with your needs. For example, you're working at home now, they might reduce your bill. According to this article on SmartMoney.com, you could save up to 10 percent if you now drive less than 10 miles a day.
- Consider raising your collision deductible -- this will cut your costs even further.
- Call with two other quotes in hand. Nothing like the fear of competition to make them squirm.
Get started on those two quotes:
Progressive: 1-800-PROGRESSIVE
Geiko: 1-800-861-8380
AllState: 1-866-609-7200
State Farm: 1-877-734-2265

I have had great success with Progressive. My parents go through Allstate and they couldn't touch the price of Progressive. I was in a car accident last year -- no fault of mine -- and the Progressive representative who helped me was stellar.
