Progressive Auto Insurance??? ??? ???

[2HOW]

I was with GEICO for 30 years and when I changed vehicles they raised my rates. I checked around and Progressive was half as much, thats right 1/2 as much. I called GEICO and they couldnt have cared less if I switched, so screw them, I wont cut my nose off to spite my face. Im staying with Progressive .

Very similar experience.  I had a minor fender-bender on March 1, of 2008 and every quote I  got from a number of companies was several hundred dollars higer.  21st Century tells me they will beat Progressive's price on March 2 2011.  That's when I make the change.  Makes me sick to think I am supporting the enemy's agenda, but dough is scarce these days so I must until March 2.

I was with Progressive for a long long time...because friends of mine here sold it. In years past...I had checked lots of company's and Progressive was always the better deal.. ( and they are high) They upped my yearly cost 'one more time'...which finally pissed me off for good!
   Last year I got a quote from Liberty Mutual. I pay in one year with them what Progressive was charging me for 6 months PLUS ..I changed over everything.. and  have my homeowners with them too...with lower deductible.. more coverage and HALF what Progressive was charging me there too..
I dropped Progressive like a hot potato..

Doesn't matter what auto insurance you have...after a year or two you have to shop because they boost their premiums and there's always a better deal. I have to say though that I went with Liberty Mutual this year too and they are reasonable. Even for NJ.

Remember though, its not just the price of the premiums, its how quick they pay. They'll all cash a check, its how willing they are to write one that matters. Its why I stick with USAA. There are cheaper companies out there, but in the claims I've made over the years, from a car to a bike to a canoe, I've gotten the cash inside of two weeks, zero hassel.

You make a good point, Quaker.  I'm sticking with Auto Owners.  I have auto, and homeowner's there.  In the past year and a half I've had 3 claims totaling well over $25,000, and not only were the checks received in short order, but my agent is still accepting my calls, and my rates have actually DECREASED.

The only reason is that they have seen the picture of you in 'yo gansta hat"... and they know if they don't answer your calls ..you'll come over and have Louie put a cap in their ass...

I had a simlar exp with liberty mutual, only I was leaving AAA.  so far they have been great, just wish they would be able to insure my boats.  finding insurance for older boats is extremly hard.   So far no complaints, did have a theft claim a few years back on a dump trailer.  They paid up right away.( it was a comm'l policy) my rates stayed the same.

I stick with a local branch of our farm bureau for the state. Very competitive rates and good local face-to-face service. Had a guy hit our vehicle last year and we went by to tell our agent...... and he said just give him the paperwork and he'd handle all the work.

Don't get me started on farm bureau 

They stopped representing the farmer and became political insiders a LONG TIME AGO!!!
