switching insurance companies? My friend has a spotless driving record and has had full coverage for about 8 years. She called up Geico to get a quote and they wanted about $140 more a year. Where are all these people who save hundreds of dollars by switching to Geico?

all of them places on tv are rip off's... i called them when i had my camaro and nova and they wanted 200 bucks more than what i was paying

igo4bmx · 12-10-2005, 11:03 PM

u have to shop around...

Silver04STi · 12-10-2005, 11:07 PM

I just figured that she would save something because right on their site it says that new customers save on average about $500 annually. These places particularly cater to the people with excellent driving records and are accident free, both of which she is.

blkbomber01 · 12-10-2005, 11:08 PM

i called them just to see what kind of "deals" they had... i was paying maybe 900 buck a year and they wanted around 1500-1800 a month. needless to say, i stuck with the company i had

OK...I am happy now that I found someone who save a bundle. Wow...what are paying on it now...I was paying $375month for my STi, but I also have an affinity for getting pulled over at high speeds.

G1GSX · 12-11-2005, 12:18 AM

insurance rates also go on how good your credit score is.

92talonTSI · 12-11-2005, 12:20 AM

Geico: just 15 minutes and you COULD[B] save 15% or more on car insuranc

TurboTagTeam · 12-11-2005, 02:39 AM

I thought Geico was "You can save 15% or more on car insurance." They do have cool commercials though.. lol.

I have USAA also. I know I could save some $ by going with another carrier but I stay with them because anytime I've ever had a claim it was always quickly resolved without any problems. I've heard some real horror stories from people who have a lot of trouble collecting on a policy when they had a claim. For me that peace of mind is worth the $ every month.

Raven18940 · 12-11-2005, 11:05 AM

Geico, Progressive and other advertised cheap insurance cater entired to low risk drivers. They aren't interested in having young, high risk drivers on their books. So the quote outrageous premiums and we stay away.

BobErT- · 12-11-2005, 01:28 PM

I think my dad has, hhmmm AIG American Insurance Group, and i think the rates are ok.

BradC · 12-11-2005, 01:29 PM

State Farm has good rates too.

88TSI_Rob · 12-11-2005, 02:12 PM

My insurance agent is really good friends with my family. It's good to have friends in the business, I pay under $35 a month!

sfd · 12-11-2005, 07:47 PM

ive stayed with state farm since my grandparents, parents, and siblings are all with them + house insurance. i tried progressive, allstate, and geico. they all wanted DOUBLE my currently yearly premium.
