How are you able to get it for only that much? That includes collision as well? I'm 26 with 21st as well. No accident nor tickets w/ good driver discount...and its around $1200 for 6 mths. How much cheaper is Costco? If so, I would rather go with them to save some money, since I have good credit as well. Do you have to be a member though?

I learned a lesson six years ago. I had $5000 medical coverage at the time. A guy came across the center-line in a truck and hit me head-on - nearly killed me. I exhausted the $5000 the first day. As he was at fault, I ultimately recovered my medical costs but I had to front the money. I now have $75000 Medical for $16.75 every six-months.
I erred in my post. I only have two cars. When my wife's new CPE 6MT arrives we'll have three cars.
Sounds as you have a lower premium.

I agree, try Wawanesa - they are based in San Diego... I have been using them for about 4 years now....
31 yrs old, no points, almost maxed on all coverage with middle-deductibles, and I also have extra insurance for my stereo and rims...
$950 a year....

I'm confused....how is your credit score tied to your auto insurance risk factor ?
Something like Married, No tickets, etc. makes sense, but I know folks with marginal credit that have spotless driving records.
Curious as to the connection between the two.
I never knew Costco even carried insurance....interesting, need to check this out.

If you think about it, people with better credit tend to be more responsible in general. They tend to have less financial risk of committing fraud since they are less likely to be having money problems.
