I have state farm and full coverage.RadioInsomnia said:Yep, very true. The CLUE guys act like a credit reporting agency, keeping your insurance claims history for 7 years. Sucks, but that's the way it is. State Farm pulled my CLUE report when I tried to get a quote from them in '02 (when I was 20), said "Oh, you have one accident, sorry" and refused to write me a policy.
Different companies may have varying policies about what they look at. I know that Progressive only looks at the last 35 months of your DMV record and CLUE history.
I currently pay $85/month for liability from Progressive. I saw a big drop when I turned 21 and two drops last year--one last spring when my first accident hit the 35-month mark, and another at my last renewal when Progressive lowered their rates 2-3% across the board. I turn 25 in November, and my record will be clean at that point, so I'll see another drop right about the time my Sentra will probably hit 200K miles and I'll be in the market for a new car. I may check State Farm's rates again then.
I had two minor collisions that were my fault in a few months 2 years ago.
They charge me $100 / 6 months accident adder.
Get discounts for multiple vehicle, home owners, plus bonus for how long I have been with them etc
so it would be about $600 / 6 months for the pathfinder and the Sentra without the accidents.
No tickets and we are over 25 !!!
