When I turned 25 I expected some windfall in savings on my car insurance and it doesn't happen. From my experience, the squeaky wheel gets the grease (or the reduction in premiums as the case may be). @Joe – it only really decreases if you ask for it.

Unfortunately I'm a long way from the Portland area! Connecticut to be exact. I heard car insurance decreases dramatically for someone at age 25? I guess thats one thing to look forward to in four years. Thanks for the advice Andrew. Unfortunately I’m a long way from the Portland area! Connecticut to be exact.

I was with one brand (major, top 5 insurer) for a long time (it was my wife's) and so I just assumed we were getting a fine (at least market rate) deal. I did some calling around and was able to find my current insurance agent (major, top 5, insurance company) and we are now paying about 30% (yes, 70% less than I was before) for a vastly superior policy with much more coverage. And that is after I called my former agent and asked him to review our policy for any cost savings opportunities (you should start by doing that with yours because they will at least knock off a few bucks a month generally). He knocked off about 3-5% and I emailed him about 5 minutes later to tell him to cancel all of our policies with him. Key point being, do your research - whether through a site or through just calling the major competitors in your area. Be an active price-seeker as opposed to a passive price-taker. It doesn't take that much time really (about 5 mins. on the phone with an agent) and they'll send you a quote. Get your current policy emailed to you by your current agent first though so you know you are comparing apples-to-apples in coverage. You can just read off your current policy to a competing agent, he can plug you into his computer, and in a few minutes get back to you with the price on the same exact policy. Boy, that post turned out to be about 20x longer than I had initially intended. And no, I am not an insurance agent. I don't know where you live Joe, but if you are in the Portland-metro area I can give you the number of my agent's group. He was about 30-70% less than all of the others I called. And after my accident last week I found out that they are really good at their jobs. OK, maybe 30x longer. @Joe – I used to feel the same way.

Especially if you could calculate it relative to that same number of other exotics. It’ll be interesting to see how many GT-Rs end up totaled.
