When I moved from New Jersey (Union) to Arizona, my premiums dropped by
more than 40%: $2150/ yr to $625/ 6 months. I've stayed with AAA through
the years.
100k/300k full coverage (now with free glass) and $250 deduct. Yes, I do go
over the speed limit - but don't tell the police (they don't know). 17
years without a speeding ticket (knock on sheet metal)
