Wowwwwwwww.  $5200 a year?  For a sensible, safe, economical car?  I just switched to eSurance as well.  Save me about $30 a month with my current car, will save me nearly $80 wiith the car I plan on buying in the next couple of months.

LOL you'd be surprised how many quotes I did before finally settling on Esurance! Rate shopping is hard! And to think AAA would give me a discount for my 9 years of membership...

I know this doesn't actually count as an auto loan topic but I just purchased a new car and I have been having trouble with insurance shopping. I was going to go with AAA b/c I have an older car insured with them so I decided to insure my new 2011 Hyundai Accent to save money with multi-policy discount. Their premium was the highest! $5,200 for the whole year! I was so shocked by this that I told the agent to cancel my policy with them. I then ended up calling an insurance agent and he told me about Infinity insurance. I signed up with them but I have been hearing terrible things about this company. I don't trust them to insure my car so I am going to cancel it today! I decided to sign up for Esurance. It had the cheapest premium and they seem trustworthy. I can't find any negative info about them.

Anyway...will this constant change in insurance coverage upset the finance company at all? I am keeping with the guidelines. No coverage break and the $500 min deductible for collision and comprehensive.

Sorta off topic but if you're paying that much annually for insurance anyway (and FWIW I've been at $2400 per year too originally on my Acura) I would suggest trying to re-run the numbers with a $1000 deductible instead.  Yeah you need to keep more of a cash reserve (theoretically) but depending on the difference in price it might justify it.  

It definitely did with my old Progressive insurance, it doesn't with my current USAA insurance.

I wish I could do that but I'm financing my Hyundai at the moment and I have to have my deductible at $500 per finance company. They're watching. Lol. I'd rather pay $2,400 than $5,200. My honda, I will consider moving my deductible up but it probably won't do much. I didn't realize that car was so much to insure even at this age.

Amica!

Even though their rates are going up this year, they are still cheaper than anyone else. I received multiple quotes from different companies after I had heard that Amica's rates were going up, but they were still $300 cheaper than Esurance and Geico. And, their gap insurance is about $10 a year!!
