I need to do some comparison shopping for new car insurance. I have asked a few friends what they are paying for their car insurance and it seems that I am paying almost double of what most of them are paying. I had them write down the car insurance companies that they use and I have also found a few more that I am going to have give me a quote.

I have always used the same car insurance company that my parents used and I figured that I was getting the best deal. Since it is a law to have car insurance, I know that I cannot cancel my old policy until I get a new company to insure me.

I am thinking that I am not going to tell my parents when I do switch since they are so proud that I use their car insurance company, it is like I trust their judgment. I just wish that they knew they are probably paying way too much also. The old insurance agent that we both currently use is an old friend of my parents and I would think that he might not be doing this for too much longer anyway. I guess that is why I do not feel too bad about getting some other car insurance quotes.
