Lets see what it changes to in 3 days when I turn 25. I'll post the % drop when I get my premium change.
If you moved out further, your insurance would go down even more.
It's pretty fuckin sad that these guys can get away with such bullshit.

Btw, I just checked what I would be paying if I was the primary driver on a 2000 Nissan Altima (which I wanna buy next year when I get my G). My annual rate would be $6181 ............

Where you live plays a huge part in your insurance rate. I realize they have to go by numbers and stats. But does this really make sense? I live in Toronto, I don't drive to work, I hardly drive at all compared to someone who lives in Barrie and drives 200+KM/DAY to/from work. The Barrie driver's insurance is likely about %50 less then mine.
And who's more likely to get in an accident?
My insurance dropped over $100/month by switching my address from Toronto to Newmarket.

The whole 25 thing is long overplayed and isn't necessarily true now. Mine barely went down at all, the guy on the phone was telling me it's not making a huge impact anymore, as it use to.

I just changed my age to 25, and it went down to $3261.
