a. Their car is on the family’s multi-car policy.
b. They tell the insurance company that an older family member is the primary driver.
c. They do not live in a major metropolitan area.
d. They are feeding you a line.

Credit is also a factor in your cost of insurance.

I pay 168 a month. with a $100 deductable. I also pulled a 780 credit score at the age of 22.

Most places are not stupid. In my case the primary car is whatever car cost more to insure.

Buy a second cheap car for $500 then don't drive it - list the Z as your leisure car and the one you won't drive as your primary car.

I have USAA and I pay <$1200 every 6 months for full coverage & towing on my G35 Sedan and my 350ZR, but I'm married and 30 years old. Insurance prices get better once you turn 25 and then again when you get married.

Fraud it is. But it will not matter until you file a claim.

The first thing that a insurance investigator will do in insure that your policy is valid. Investigators are not stupid. So you are involved in a serious accident. Two car are totaled and both you and the other driver have medical expenses. The investigator declares your policy invalid. You are sued by the other driver. You have no car, and are tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

Not too smart.

Once again insurance companies are not stupid.

You have to pay what you have to pay theres no "trick" to get around that.
only thing you can do is shop around.

www.esurance.com isnt to shabby if you only have cars. they don't insure bikes so I dont use them I use statefarm.
