I am currently paying $860 and I just turned 25 and that is just for PL&PD, with compehensive.  Meloche Monnex is suppose to be one of the cheapest around, but i have not switched over yet.

$912.24 a year for full coverage except windshield plus $20 a year for monthly plan.   woulda been $100-$200 cheaper if I could have gone through the same plan with our other 2 vehicles but that company didn't want to insure a TJ.  I drive it to work.

clean record, All Alta insurance in the registries building a block south of the road king.

I believe Meloche Monnex is great if you belong to one of their groups, ie sait graduate etc, they have some alumni and corporate discounts.  worth checking out.

AMA isn't too bad for prices but not the best.  When I was looking, i tried coop and they were $1150 a year but told me not to bother for a month because they were adjusting their rates to match wawanesa.  i didn't wait to go back and see though.

my deductibles are $250/$250

I'm getting screwed... $1400 / year....

I had a small incident 2 years ago in BC. I had no damage to my Jeep but the old lady had $5500 damage to her 88 Ford Tempo. I would have had to go to Creston to contest agains ICBC (what a government scam  :roll: ).

I also have not had any ticket in Alberta. ZERO!

I'm with TD insurance which was Liberty before....

Is there any one of you using a Insurance broker?

Premiums also depend a lot on your deductible

Dom, I am using a broker.

I thought I was not bad at $118./month loaded without glass at State Farm.  So here on the weekend I was pizzing around surfing and I fill out the online quote form at AMA, even lowering the deductables I have now.  I was shocked to get an annual come up UNDER $700.  I went back to see if I made an incorrect entry.  Nope.

I'll be calling today to verify that.  Yes, I'd have to add a membership to that but $500./year less is still $500. in MY pocket.

Age 47.  05 TJ.  106 in a 100 14 years ago in a minivan.  Nothing since.

I was paying about $90/month for renters insurance and full insurance for my Leased 2003 Subaru WRX through Meloche Monnex.

Now paying $86 for same thing for my 03 Tj (minus the lease)

I went to sait a while back, so they put me on the Sait Alumni group plan.
