    I think I'm GMAC.

    I have high deductibles. I know that some finance companies won;t allow higher than $500 deductible.

    Geico is ok if you have a perfect record. God help you if you start getting tickets and having accidents.

    I had GMAC, switched to Progressive and cut my rates almost in half. And that is with a DUI in 1996.

    Teenager Insurance troubles

    Looking for some advice:

    18 yo, totaled a car when he was 16, then OK till 6 months ago. (Maybe he was just lucky, I'm not sure). Got a ticket in July, 67 in a 55, reduced to improper equipment.

    Now got 2 tickets on the same day, one for 84 in a 65, another 70 in a 55, along with an expired inspection sticker (driving someone else's car) each time. Court dates in January 2007.

    I've got State Farm. Anybody know how bad this is gonna be financially? Do I have any options? Can I drop him entirely, or when does he become so much of a risk that he is uninsurable by State Farm? Of course, I have my own ideas of what to do with him as a parent.
