on the topic of insurance, i've been told that engineers get a discount. is this true?

if so, are we talking engg degree or P.Eng for the discount? also how much?

I phoned State Farm when I was car shopping and the Civic was the cheapest of the cars I asked them about insurance wise (others were Chevy Cavalier, Mazda Protege, maybe one or two others in that class I can't think of)

Are ama/caa and statefarm good places to get a reasonable car insurance rate/quote?

For those who live in Calgary, can you give me any suggestions like where to get a good deal on car insurance. Thanks in advance.

WOW! after reading all this, im so glad i'm in BC where there is no private insurance! aaahhhh good old ICBC!

i always thought the privatising insurance companies was to promote competition and get lower rates? apparently this is not the case, i hope we never get private insurance here!

the only factors looked into here are : years of experience, territory, past accidents, and type of car. and if its for work or leisure use

me, been driving for 8 years have 35% discount (up to 40% this june), i drive a crappy 84 pontiac sunbird, but live in the city so i pay $80/month. when i lived in the valley it was only $75/month, and in the boonies way up in northern BC it was only $60/month.

territory plays a huge part in rates here. my mom lives outside the city, has 43% discounts, drives a 2004 GMC truck and only pay $150 a month!

*looks up at ontario rates* oh dear gawd, never let them privatise insurance here!
