If you are trying to save money, The smartest thing to do would not have comp/collision, but have GOOD liability limits, say if you start a "chain reaction" accident, you rear end a car and it pushes that car into more cars - your minimum property damage limits will be GONE, even worse if you injure someone, - and you and your husband will be in big trouble as you will have to pay out of pocket when the other insurance companys come after you for what they paid out - people always think they are saving money, but belive me, I am a claim rep and I see the aftermath, it is a disaster when you do not have high enough limits.

Theres are more factors in price than just the car you drive. If you only need liability, it won't matter the car you drive.

Car Insurance Rates And Such
Can you get cheaper car insurance rates if your car is 23 years old? Im buying an 88 suzuki samurai and im wondering if my car insurance rates will be lower because it is an older car. Will they be?
No they have set prices on all models price is based on what coverage you want.You will get a break in car tags as they go by year. Liability rates are not affected by the age of the car since they don't cover it anyway (you need comp/collision to protect your own property). I would assume you won't carry collision on that vehicle, it probably isn't worth much more than the deductible would be anyway. That said - before you buy that car you should check the insurance rates.
How could car insurance cost more a month than the value of the car? Yes I'm under 21, No I don't have a single ticket , or driving violation.

With insurance, it is often the case that the policy costs more than the car did, as you are not just insuring the car. You are also protecting yourself against hitting any third party car, property or persons. You may have paid $500 for a car, but you need to bear in mind that if you kill someone their family could your insurer for thousands and you legally have to have that cover in place.

How do you get proof of car insurance without a car? I had my brother listed as a driver on my insurance policy and he is moving so will no longer be using my car. The insurance company is requiring that I show proof of insurance before removing him from the policy.
If you want to stay with that company for some reason (although I couldn't think of any) you might call your agent and ask why you need to do that, and tell him you will switch if you can't, and see what happens. That is ridiculous. If you have an insurance company that is refusing to allow you to remove an authorized driver from your policy unless you PROVE the authorized driver has insurance elsewhere, it's time to get a new policy in place at another company and then drop your current insurance.
