I was sleepy and hit a pole. The insurance company (Farmers) claimed my car total lost. I bought a new car, with the first few months normal rates. Now my insurance went up double… Can I do anything to save money? Or is there an insurance company for people like me with cheaper rates? I have tried ordering quotes from other companies such as Progressive but they end up even higher. Paying insurance is as expensive as buying a new car and I can't afford it. Please help!
P/s: me and my dad also use same company, my new car is a 2006 BUICK LACROSSE CXL, the insurance went from 150 to over 300, I'm in Georgia

You can always shop around. There isn’t a way to know who is cheapest without getting quotes
You can also save money by buying a cheaper car to replace the other one
Farmers will raise your rates to cover the cost of the claim. Go with someone else.
I would try Geico or Allstate. I had better luck with them then I did progressive on a cheap rate.
Contact a broker. They will shop around for you so you don’t have to.
There are price comparison sites like insurify.com, the zebra and compare.com. It’s a good way to go to one place to get multiple quotes rather than go to each insurance company one by one.
But yeah, you are looking for a non standard insurance carrier now.
