Reply #118: I think insurance rates vary from state to state... [View All]

Up here it is extremely expensive with only a few carriers doing business in Alaska. I was pricing car insurance yesterday for my 21-year-old daughter, who drives a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am. I've been carrying her on my insurance during her teenage years to keep the cost down for her, but I thought now that she's 21 she should be able to at least get liability for her older car at not too great a cost. I was shocked to learn that the cheapest insurance we could get for her (low-end liability) would cost $340 down and $260 a month. That's really a crazy amount of money for a kid just starting out in life. I just decided to continue to carry her for a few more years and hopefully by the time she's 25 it will come down.
