cantankerous Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm looking to get some quotes because i'm paying an arm and a leg right now for full coverage...there has to be a cheaper company than progressive...(i'm paying 192 a month right now) I'm 23, male and have an immaculate driving record. Any opinions and information would be helpful to me. So fellow bills fans, which company works the best for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet baboo Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i switched from progressive to geico because progressive kept raising my rates for no reason (no tickets, no accidents) geico has been dropping my rates steadily in the 3 years i've been with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks collegeguy, I just got a quote from them and it's over $300 less for a 6 month policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't appreciate my driving record and the price reflected it. Esurance doesn't seem to do as extensive a driving record check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegtapr Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I switched from Progressive to Geico about 4 years ago and my premium was cut in half and has been falling ever since. I shop around for new quotes about once a year as well but they've always been the lowest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmet_hair Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Beacon ins. is the lowest price standard company you'll find. I went from Nationwide after 20 years to them and save half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 If you have served in the military you will find that USAA is your best option. If not...then I can't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what other restrictions there may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their customer service is awful. I swithced to Allstate. My rates are lower and the service is great. AIG also has very good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I had Geico until they screwed me for homeowners insurance when I bought a new house. I switched to USAA and my rates went down for both my homeowners and car insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 State Farm. My rates are low (to me) in part because I'm a long-time customer with a big accident-free bonus on one of the vehicles (they didn't even take it away when my wife got into a fender-bender...). But I don't care as much about the rates. They are there when I need them, and don't give me a hassle about anything. I actually had an adjuster come up with a higher estimate than the dealership for one accident. And I can have the car repaired at a dealership (using genuine parts)... They don't drop you for nickel-and-diming on the comprehensive like I've heard others do. Replaced a few windshields...again, no hassle.... They don't raise your rates if an accident is not your fault, even if the other driver is uninsured. I've heard others do that as well... That's what I pay for. I could care less if the lizard came up $50 cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 State Farm here, I've shopped around, slightly more expensive than Gecko or whatever.. but those agents are worth every penny. The one even helped me tweak my policy to get the most coverage for the best rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I've had Erie for auto and homeowners since 1985. Very good service. But they underwrite in just a few states AFAIK. When I moved to OH from Pittsburgh in 1990, my rates went up a bit - their reason for it was that Ohio has no vehicle mechanical inspection law, and the data shows that crashes are more likely. And I believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
