Default thats a lot! I pay less than half of that

My situation is almost identical to yours except age, I just turned 25. Same car, same year, same conditions. I have comprehensive coverage, 1 million liability, fire, theft, vandalism, no glass however, and my monthly bill is $107 CDN ($88 USD), it is less than I was paying for 95 Ford Explorer, I still cannot believe how I got this deal!

Default Age and proximity to a major metro area are big factors

Where are you located? The $84 you'd save with Progressive would pay for about a tank and a half of gas per year or a fews cases of Guinness!

Default 1) Grow older; 2) Get married; 3) Add a homeowners' policy to your auto :-)

All suck, in different ways, I know...
