none of the above. you will have to seek out high-risk carriers because you are now that.

You can forget about state farm as they won't insure you if you have two accidents. I'm not sure about geico, but Progressive and Unitrin Direct will definitely insure you. Just be prepared to pay when you get it.

yeh most insurances that are cheap in price will not cover for one tiny little accident i scrapped my bumper and if i would have gone through my insurance they would have dropped me so i ended up payin out of pocket. so if you do find someone to insure you just like cmbjive said expect to pay.

Yep. But here's something you should know: Your accident records, if reported to police, only stay on your driving record for two years. Thereafter your record should be clean. So check your record with your DMV/MVA. If that's clear, you can just say you haven't had any accidents.

So don't be telling anyone you totalled a car unless they can easily look it up.

I am not sure of the legality/efficacy of this, but someone once suggested: Get yourself insurance as a driver without a car (or a cheezy car with coverage for other cars) then have your Evo insured under your dads name. If something happens claim on your policy first.

i have progressive and i think it's very expensive. I haven't made any claims yet except for a cracked windshield.

anyway, it's pretty expensive. I have 2 points on my record from way back in 2002 and am above 25, but my insurance is still over 2Gs. u can call and check but be prepared to pay an arm and leg.

good luck

im with progressive right now, had a couple things (speeding tickets) that will soon be off the record (nearly 3 years ago). I'm currently paying like 1100 bucks for 6 months, but thats with the fees for paying monthly. Oddly enough the medical portion of the insurance is the most expensive.

mine's only $50 for the medical. allstate full cover. How much are you getting for your medical? i'm only getting $50,000, which could pay for the $50 Tyrenol the hospital charge you.
