I use American Southern Insurance (AAA's insurance arm--Btw, I'm not a AAA member). Pretty good rates got even better when I traded my wife's Civic for the S2000 (she got my Prelude) and my rates only went up $60 for the year.

I had terrible rates from Geico and switched to USAA. USAA is great (1/2 the price of Geico) but you have to be in the armed services or have a parent that is/was.

I have mine with Horace Mann and their rates are pretty good. Though their claims aren't the best.

I hope that you folks that have State Farm NEVER have to make a claim. They are THE worst company that I have ever had to deal with.

I've gone through this twice in my immediate family (my wife and my daughter). In both recent cases, we were rear ended by someone who has State Farm and in my opinion, they should't be allowed to do business the way that they treat the claimant. We had to fight with them every step of the way. They didn't want to pay for anything. I will never have anything insured by State Farm.

Good Luck,
Bob

We switched to Progressive a couple years ago, and got great rates. PLUS, on my recent hail damage claim, they were great to work with! They made it very easy to get my car fixed in a hurry. I had a check in 3 days.

I've been with Farm Bureau since my wife and I got married. The rates are pretty darn good, although we do have homeowner's and life insurance with them as well (it get's us a multi-policy discount). We have a 2000 S2000 and a 2000 Xterra and only pay ~$1600/year, and both of us are under 26 years old. I've never had to file a claim, but from what I hear, it is a matter of who is your agent, not the company itself when it comes to Farm Bureau.

Good luck
