Go to their website and get a free price quote. Couldve had your answer already 
I checked the majors, Allstate, Statefarm etc. the closest online to live quote was $200/6 months. The online quotes lowball to get you to call in. I called them on it and was told that "it gives a rough estimate" I told them a rough estimate should be in the same ballpark not in a different country and 40+% more is not rough.
Call them, don't trust the online BS quotes.

Just find an insurance broker in your area that deals with 3-4 different companies and have them work you up a quote from each using the same coverages.
That will give you the best comparison.
Personally, I would rather have insurance from a non-internet company where I can call and have an adjuster that isn't going to be a week out and flying in from New York. The online insurance companies who don't ever have any local broker and no agents you can call "yours" doesn't give me a lot of confidance.
There is a local SafeCo adjuster here in town, same with Progressive and their rates are comparable (based on my broker's quotes) to Geico or any of the others anyway. I have never once, in all my times requesting a quote from them "saved up to $500". They've always been more expensive.

who ever has geico car insurence how much do u pay a month on ur S2000?
Insurance rates depend on a lot more than just the company you're using. Unless the person you're comparing rates with is exactly the same, lives in the same area and is looking for identical coverage then insurance rate discussions like this are meaningless. At the very least, post age, location, coverage levels, deductibles, driving record, extras (roadside assist, rental reimbursement) etc.

Honestly, after watching my SO deal with her Farmer's agent I find the benefit of a local agent dubious. Guess it depends on how good your local agent is...
