Still Expensive Car Insurance Premiums

My state has probably one of the most expensive car insurance premiums in the country. Only lately has the market been opened to big companies like Geico and Progressive but even then, we still pay a lot compared to other states. I live in a very safe neighborhood where crime is almost negligible but still, we pay a lot for our car insurance. Thanks to the internet, it's easier to get auto insurance quote from different companies. Right now, we're sticking with MetLife where we have both our car and home insurance. I just hope it doesn't go up next year or else we'll be forced to shop around for a new one.
