Outrageous - we drive under 5K miles per year with a PERFECT record. No claims and credit rating is 840.

So, we will shop around next week. We'd like to actually GO to insurance offices around The Villages, rather than phone or on-line. Went to Villages Insurance a couple years ago to get rates from them and no better than Progressive at the time.

Suggestions?
Florida is the most expensive state for car insurance. This is due to the high number of catastrophic claims brought about by extreme weather. The Sunshine State ranks second in true cost, with motorists spending almost 6% of their income on auto coverage.

Florida is home to three metropolitan areas with the highest true cost of car insurance. These are Miami, Tampa, and Orlando.
