I have gmac...but I have quoted with progressive too...they're about the same...within a couple bucks of one another...

[LarryD]

what about progressive vs. geico?

[Savio]

don't know about geico....have you tried AFFFFLACCCCCCC :D

I think I'm GMAC.

I have high deductibles. I know that some finance companies won;t allow higher than $500 deductible.

Do your homeowners and car togther and get a break with State Farm.
I didn't think Afflack had car insurance

Farm Bureau :)

Geico is ok if you have a perfect record. God help you if you start getting tickets and having accidents.

I had GMAC, switched to Progressive and cut my rates almost in half. And that is with a DUI in 1996.

Looking for some advice:

18 yo, totaled a car when he was 16, then OK till 6 months ago. (Maybe he was just lucky, I'm not sure). Got a ticket in July, 67 in a 55, reduced to improper equipment.

Now got 2 tickets on the same day, one for 84 in a 65, another 70 in a 55, along with an expired inspection sticker (driving someone else's car) each time. Court dates in January 2007.

I've got State Farm. Anybody know how bad this is gonna be financially? Do I have any options? Can I drop him entirely, or when does he become so much of a risk that he is uninsurable by State Farm? Of course, I have my own ideas of what to do with him as a parent.

If you can bundle it with your HO's. Erie is a great company and we bundle so the cost drops. Cheap is not always the best deal.

I have Met. The higher deductable is ok if you have enough $$$ to pay for the normal $700 ding I tend to always get.

IF you can get it...USAA can't be touched. It crushes everyone. I called one place and asked for a quote...told them I had USAA and he said no one in the country can touch it.

I assume anyone that CAN have USAA knows this.

Since I've gotten a new car, Geico gave me the best rates...

geico and progressive will save you money on your premiums. just pray that you never need to file a claim. customer service is shitty and they'll do anything they can to minimize their payout.

Hmmmmm...I thought that ins companies in NC were only supposed to consider your last 3 years driving history--am I wrong on this?

I regularly change auto insurers. No matter how cheap you find it eventually they will ass rape you and you'll find it somewhere else cheaper.

My current supplier of choice is Farm Bureau. I moved to them from Geico - I needed insurance fast a couple of years ago when I bought a car - called several out of the phone book and Geico was by far the cheapest. But last year when I was shopping for homeowners I found Farm Bureau to be a good deal and they gave me auto for about 60 % of what Geico was ripping me off for.

I used to have Auto Owners for years - they were hard to beat - but they pissed me off when they pulled my homeowners policy because one of their asshole agents snooped in my backyard, saw I had a trampoline and said they wouldn't cover me any longer - so that piece of shit company will never get any of my business again.
