I have had a NY license for 13 years.

Also there is second car on my policy - a Toyota camry 1997 which we don't have collusion or comprehensive and am paying $758 semi-annually

I also took the defensive driving class which brought my rate down

Any kids on your policy that could be driving it up?

I have 2 questions, not sure if this is the right forum, but I am sure someone will let me know if it is not:

1. What is the best credit card to pay my car insurance on?
2. Anyone know how to get discounts on car insurance, I have a corp discount with Geico, but I am still paying $1,145 every 6 months for a 2012 Honda Accord (includes comprehensive and collision). Anyone know where I can get a better deal?

Sounds awfully high

Without much work, you can just call your agent and tell them that you did a quick search and can get quite a bit cheaper from other companies. Is there anything you can do for me being a good customer for so long etc.

I have 100/300. Also looks like your Basic Personal Injury Protection is high too. I have $131 for 50K. Do you have deductibles on comprehensive and collision? I have $500 each and pay $30 and $60 less on each.

Go on geico.com, get a quote to change your policy to 100/300 and $1,000 deductible where possible and see what that will reduce the quote to.

The other big factor is how you are reporting the usage of the car. Pleasure/work/school and how many miles a year make a difference in price.
