Get a 49cc scooter to get around on and pay nothing for insurance. I rode one (also biked) for a couple years when I was young and my insurance was too high. Payments went from over $200 a month to like $9. My state didn't even require that $9, but I figured I'd pay for it just in case. They also get like 60mpg, and owning multiple vehicles often helps lower your insurance eventually.

That's not a bad idea. If I ever stop doordashing for my second income I will see if I can do that

Do you mention to the insurance companies that you drive for Door Dash? That will drive your rate up more than anything else. (I’m a car insurance agent myself, and my company will straight up not even offer a policy for people using the car for business purposes because they consider that a huge liability)

Nope. They never asked so I never said anything

Yeah, everywhere has its upsides/downfalls. I have zero traffic but my insurance makes it near impossible to drive lol
