Default Best Insurance Company for CA riders?

Anyone on the left coast seriously shopped the rates? My agent is recommending Progressive but I hate that word. The max limit for bodily injury is 250K per person, 500K per accident at $640./yr. Is that a competitive rate here in the People's Republik of Californistan?

Default Not Geico

Geico was quite a bit higher with lower maximums. Their maximums stop at 300K. Wanted $878.76

Default Done

Ended up paying $566.67/yr via DRIVE Insurance (apparently a division of Progressive). Highest maximums I could find, rate dropped cuz I don't put mega miles on the bike each year.

A little tip with those off name insurance companies, do some serious research into them and their track records for service when claims are filed. They are not all created equal.
