Where on earth are you getting insurance for 2 cars for $500/6 months? I'm middle aged, drive a 10 year old car, and have a perfect driving record, and mine's about $100/month. I've priced the same level of coverage with other companies and that's pretty much what all of them offered.

Eta: I'm literally asking. I have no loyalty to my current company, if I can get it cheaper, I'm out.

    That was a few years ago. But I have the same coverage and cars for $580/6mo. BTW it's cheaper to pay all at once usually.

    But our cars are compact and subcompact about 9 & 10 years old. We carry 100/300/100. It's GEICO is MD but it was also about the same with progressive in FL. Only one of us has a perfect record, the other is still minor and rare.

    So you may just live in an expensive state for insurance.

    I'm in a similar position, middle aged, clear driving history for about 15 years, car's an '18. I pay ~$450 every 6 months with Progressive. Paying the whole amount up front gives me a good discount. If you can't do that size payment at once you can pay with PayPal credit and it should be no interest for 6 months so you can get the discount and still pay monthly.

    I need to check on whether I get a discount for paying all at once. I'm finally at a point where I could manage it but I have no idea what it would save.

    Ooh, just checked looked and nope, USAA gives me $16/month off for autopay but no pay in full discount. Lots of pretend discounts for other stuff but that just puts them around what other insurers would charge anyway. What a rip off.

    I live in the Netherlands and now pay €188 a year. It's just a "wa" insurance meaning if I hit something they pay the damage of the other's, but not mine damage.

    I drive a car from 2009 and have 10 years of no damages. So if your willing to move to the Netherlands wait 10 years you can lower your payment. (Not really a option I guess)
