I just renewed my insurance in SF for $555/6 months. I have progressive, high deductible but coverage for me, other driver and all that (100/300/100).



Thats pretty good. Can you share a bit more details about your demographics/driving history. I pay ~1600/yr with metromile and i have a good driving history. I'm in SoCal.


Surely - Demographic, ~30 year old male, married. (Getting married didn't drop it as much as I was hoping but did decrease it $150/year.)

Wife and I have not had any traffic infractions in over 3 years.

I haven't had a traffic infraction in at least 3 years (moved to West coast 3 years ago). ~30 year old male, married and are insuring a 2015 Cherokee with $2,500 deductibles.

My advice, if you can set aside $2,500 or have it in savings I would move your deductible up and use insurance for severe accidents. Don't use insurance to replace a cracked windshield.


FWIW, depending on your state and policy, "glass only" claims don't affect your premiums. Agreed with the general principle of a higher deductible though.
