Walked away from them and stuck with progressive as i have been with them for 30 years and liability with hem for is 600 due to my longevity. Comp&coll is what i had up til last year when they jacked it up from 699 to 2150.
OK but why is my state mandated minimum insurance nearly $90 a month for a Toyota Prius that I only drive like 30 miles per week?

I have never driven a car that tracks me, and I pay approx $50 a month for two cars.
My car is seven years older than me and basic traffic insurance is ~300€ (equivalent) per year.
