Don, Not that it will help you get insurance but comments like this should be brought to the attention of the insurance companies regional customer support representative and/or your state insurance board. I'm sure that agent's boss or boss's boss would be interested in how he/she handles perspective new customers. Other than that I certainly wouldn't waste any more effort with that company. Believe it or not there are some respectable agents out there. I pay $500 a year for full coverage on my D, less than my wife's Explorer. Granted, I am 35 but you should be able to piggy back on a parents policy for much less than 5K. And if they are with that company you spoke with before I would encourage them to go somewhere else just out of principal. BTW I am happily insured by Liberty Mutual in California.
