Well Progressive's qupte was $4 cheaper, but it said in the "fine print" that it included a "pay-in-full" discount.
If you pay your full 6 month or 12 month premium up front (no monthly payments) you get a discount.

Well I knew that but I don't have that much laying around. And they didn't say how much the discount was so I couldn't tell how much more expensive it was from All State. Does that make sense?

OK here's what I came up with.. I thought it was pretty interesting.
AAA: $1065.00/six months
Progressive: $1082/six months [for whatever reason, they decided to include the pay in full discount with this, so I'm not sure what the exact price is
American Family: $1,089/six months
Esurance: $1315/six months
Allstate: $1838/six months
Geico: $1861.90/six months

Those prices are for just liability state-minimum coverage? Its very possible all those prices are determined as if you pay 6 months in advance so be sure to call each individual place if you can. Assuming that AAA price is correct and you go wtih them, thats $177.50/month. Can you afford that? Is driving even worth that? You might be better off trying to find a job somewhere that you can take the bus to (if thats available in your area). No matter what though, all insurance companies generally require at least a 2-month payment in advance for all new policies so you'd be looking at $355 minimum.
The progressive discount for paying in advance is huge, basically one month free every six months.

Luckily, my grandpa is paying the first 3 months of insurance for me. So I have a little time to save up as much as I can, and possible pay the other three months ASAP. I don't have much of a choice. There is no bus that runs from my house to my school. So Monday, I'll be spending ALL day finding whatever job I can that I can get AT LEAST $200 every two weeks. Not that hard. I made $7/hr at Coldstone and got $200 every two weeks. But I know I can find better than that even, so I think I should be ok. I'll be back to being the definition of a broke college student, but as long as I'm in school and working, I'm making my dad and grandpa happy, so OH WELL.

Good attitude, sacrifices do need to be made in the short-term in order to better yourself in the long-term. Any serious job leads yet?

Not really. When I called Inver Grove Ford they were only hiring for Full time, which won't work with school. I applied to the casino, which would pay pretty good, but its sooo far. We'll see. Going out Monday will help big time.
