I'm 24, male, and my car is a 2001 corolla. I'm paying $188 CAD per month for full coverage, and i can't go to liablity only since i still owe money on the car. This is my first car and I bought it in april, before that I was listed as an occasional driver on my mom's car. Since I was in such rush to get a car, I just went with the insurance broker that the car dealer set me up with.

I live in Ottawa, Canada. Basically I just want to know if I'm getting shafted or not. What should I be paying? Is it a good idea to use a broker instead of dealing directly with insurance companies?

I'm 23, male, 1991 Tempo. $136/mo with similar coverage. Of course here in BC we don't really have any choice as we gotta go with the provincially run insurance company. Just for comparison.

When I was 20(last insurance quote) I was paying about $233/month for full coverage. I dropped collision/comprehensive and I'm now 21. It should drop to a little over $100.

Of coarse you are but thats what happens with you put full coverage on a car before you turn 25.
