I use the philosophy of the highest deductable possible. Give less to the insurance company eacy month, most accidents are over $500 anyways.

You'd convert that philosophy if you married my wife! After the third accident (none being her fault... of course ) we've spent the last ten years with a 250 deductable

$250 collision, Zero comprehensive. The zero deductible doesn't cost that much more ... maybe a couple of dollars a month.

250/500 and living in NJ with the highest dollar insurance coverage I only pay $900 per year upfront and then at the end of the year they send me a good size dividend check.

I can only say that some Insurance companies are not trying to rip you off...
