Progressive is one of the most expensive anyway.
Try to get Georgia Farm Bureau. It's only $517 per year. Bundle if you can.

I just put all of my info in and Georgia Farm Bureau is giving me a quote of $918 for 6 months for the basic package.

I don't understand....... Why am I being charged so much? I am 33 and have never had any type of ticket. I'm only using the vehicle to go back and forth to work which is 30 miles round trip.

Sheesh.

Progressive and Liberty Mutual both quoted me around $100 on liability, with a ticket.
So I used a local broker with an established local office, that was $40; in a metro area no less.

If I only had 1 car, it would cost me $90 to ensure it.

Insurance is based on many things that have nothing to do with your driving record including your credit history.

I learned not to assume anything in life. When we moved from NY to SC our car and home owner's insurance went up significantly.

I think so. I made the post in regards that one poster said insurance was higher in California
My points were that it wasn't all of California that was higher, it can vary from city to city in my case one just 10 miles away. The other that in Georgia my insurance was higher than California.

Can’t say I disagree with that. I just assumed one of the highest col areas in the country would be more than one a lot lower.

Georgia has hurricanes, tornados, and Atlanta. Atlanta seems to be a big reason for the high cost of car insurance. I still don't know why my car insurance went when I moved to SC from NY. I didn't live in a big city. Nowhere near one. Not near the coast. One of life's mysteries!

After going through numerous quotes, it seems the best I can get is $120 a month.

I give up.

Yeah you’d think so. And we went from Silicon Valley suburbia to a fairly small city, too.
