How to avoid getting fucked by insurance?

I have to renew my auto-insurance in less than 2 months and I've been getting fucked for too long now. I have a clean driving record, no tickets, no accidents, went through driving school, had 1 minor claim from a break-in years ago and as of now I am paying $250/month. Anyone have any suggestions when trying to find a new insurance company to deal with? any good resources for this? (specifically canada, ontario) This shit can get so overwhelming... any help is appreciated.

How old are you? Younger people get screwed on insurance.
I just visit my insurance agent and he finds me the cheapest rates available. I haven't had a ticket in 7 years so I get very cheap full coverage insurance and I'm only 23, I pay 450$ every 6 months for a 99 monte carlo.

I'm 21. I've been with this insurance company for like 3-4 years now. I'm trying to go through alumni group rates and see what they can do for me, i'm just wondering what sort of thinks I should tell them such as underestimating my travel to work mileage, etc.

My agent never asked me any of that stuff he just guarenteed I couldn't find anyting cheaper and after checking around he was right, he must of filled out that stuff so it sounded good because all I did was make a phone call and give them my vin # and he called back in a half hour with the lowest rates he could find. Wish I could be more help.

They're only for Americans though, no? There's something unsettling about an insurance company with a cartoon mascot flappin her titties about. hmmm...

Dude....I found this lesson out the hard way.
If one little thing happens (one speeding ticket, etc....), you immediately get thrown on an insurance company's more expensive plan (I believe it is called indemnity insurance). Basically this is insurance that costs twice what it should.
Now you'd think they'd only keep you on this for a while and then they would kick you back to the normal insurance. THEY DON'T. They try to keep you on the more expensive insurance as long as they can (so they can make more money).
Get a quote from other agencies. I guarantee you that you will get quotes for about half of what you are paying right now. And if after some violation your new company does the same thing to you that the old company did, you shop around and get another company.

$250 a month?? I hope that's at least full-coverage.
But yes, as the others have suggested, you might want to shop around a bit. I'm sure you can find a better deal than that....

Wow they are fucking you hard. I've got 9 points on my license and only pay 180 a month. I just have basic insurance though. Luckily this summer half of those points will be gone and i'll be back down to a regularish sort of rate. thank god
remember it takes about 3 years for any points you get to be taken off of your driving record. So don't get any points.
