It is not 5% for all cars. Civics are at 4% or lower, Lumina SS is 6% to 10%. Also rates are higher if you are under 25, or choose a V6 or V8.

I paid more - as I had no history of insurance to show the dealer and I had some extra features on the car . Insurance came to nearly 7.5% of cars value.
Next year should be less - but it can depend on your history and type of car

Is it better to get car insurance through the dealer or through a third party?

Your car registration and the insurance expire at the same time, no one will remind you when your car registration expires, you should just know..

Hai,
I am Rukitamo. I am Newbie to here.
I think Get insurance through Dealers, this is better one.
An Insurance Company is the actual insurer where as the Insurance Broker is the company representing you with the insurance company. An insurance broker does not pay your claims. The insurance broker will have a customer service representative available to answer your questions regarding your policy and your coverage. When working with a broker you usually get more personal service. Large insurance company's have a hard time competing with the family feeling that smaller company's have. Know your agents name and number and when you need their help, they will remember you too.
Is it true...
