Attn: Algonquin Alumni - cheap insurance rates!

[Casper97RS]

Posted on the old RL too...wanted to post here as well!

So I'm currently paying $202/month for 1-way coverage. I had a couple tickets, an accident...and I was under 25. This May I turned 25, and I only have 1 speeding ticket and 1 accident on my record. I was gonna search for better insurance, and tell my high risk broker to fuck off.

I called Bel-air, like everyone else on here, and they were going to cost me almost what I'm paying now, but for full coverage, accident forgiveness, and $0 deductible. I was kinda happy with that, since I do still have a couple dings on my record, and now I could finally have full coverage again.

I always get mail from the Algonquin College Alumni, telling me that as an alumni, I get a group rate through Johnson Inc. I finally decided to give them a call. Mucho impressed. Here's what I will now pay:

Full coverage, accident forgiveness, $500 deductible, car rental and car rental insurance

$144.63/month for 11 months - with no first month/last month up front crap.

I guarantee any alumni will get cheaper rates through these guys...give them a call! 613-728-6800

144 is still more than I pay on my brand new impreza :shock: then again, it was a 60$/month drop for you so it's pretty significant.

The algonquin alumni mastercard through MBNA is pretty swee too... 11% compared to a regular visa at like 19%

Not only did it drop $60/month, but I will also have full coverage now. I was paying 202 for one-way!!! So really, the savings are QUITE emense...like the Daniel-San of insurance savings. Thank god I've been pretty clean the last couple years, and almost everything is gone now!

i know state farm offers the good student discount. where if you get over a 70 average it cuts your insurance down by almost 30%. The thing my grades at algonquin havent been the greatest either, so no discount for me.

It's been coming into me at the same rate for about as long. I always tossed it aside, especially since I was under 24 with a few dings, I knew they would probably turn me down, and that's why I stayed with a broker. But this year, I turned 25, and had a couple tickets go away, so I went shopping, and these guys were far cheaper! Group rates FTW!

And ya...like Andre said...haven't been a student for 3 years now...so no "good student" discount. But I guess this group rate Alumni thing is just as good!
