Today marks the official date of a three year good driving record for me!
AAA offers a 20% discount on a policy for a good driver discount. That would save me $180.00 per year!
Unfortunatly, my policy just renewed in August. AAA told me that I would not recieve the good driver discount until my next policy renewal (Aug. 2007). I was also told that if I cancled my insurance, I would not be able to start a new policy for 60 days.
Soooo.......I was thinking of switching insurance companies for two months, then switching back in a couple of months so that I could get the 20% discount.
Anyone have thoughts on a good insurance company in California that I could switch to for a couple of months?
Uz a funny guy Timmy. . Ok fine. I edited the date (sure do hope that i'm not still alive then!)
No military in family.
Progressive won't cover old vehicles, well, they wouldn't the last time I called.
Thanks
Let's see....Geico, heavy handed adverts and they donate radar guns to PDs to enforce BS speed limits in areas that have high traffic flow....BZZZZZTtttt, NFW.....
Progressive, they won't go after someone that files a BS claim against becuase it's less than 4K and then surcharge yer ass for three years after that....BBBBBZZZZZtttttt, NFW.....
Good driver? Go Mercury, AllState or the other blue chips. Tell AAA to stick it....
I have Mercury. They've been good to me. My house is under them too. But I found them to be better than most other ins. I use to have AAA but they raised my policy about $250 in one year and I didn't ever have anything go wrong. No tickets and no accident. I like the Mercury folks. Call for a quote.
Id NEVER even think about having Allstate.
They dumped all Homeowners coverage in NY after Katrina
Wait isnt NY 3000 miles from Lousiana?
Shop around while you have coverage.
When purchasing insurance, remember you are buying a service.
They work for you
I have allstate. They've always given me reasonably good service - and I think there is an advantage to their agent-setup - I've always had very friendly and helpful agents that have been very available. We have our house policy through them also - and they reduce both rates if you do both.
I was looking more towards a company that deals promptly and somewhat fairly (we all know that claims are not all fair) with accident claims. Unfortunalty, I seem to get hit alot.
I had Mercury last. It took them a year to settle the claim, in which they never informed me of. I had to find out from an inside source. And it was in the other party's favor.
Is this car daily driver? If it's a garage queen you can can insure it for like $100/year with collector car insurance.
If your current insurance company won't give you a break after 3 years of good driving, I would consider dropping them all together. Go up the management ladder until you find somebody to say yes. If you business isn't good enough to say yes to a rather small reduction in fees, then go price shopping. Actually do it before you go up the chain. Progressive will quote you everybody's rate. See if the $ you save is worth staying with your current insurance. Good luck Toast.

P.S. As far as I am concerned insurance company policy is to the consumer.
The 914 is a daily driver. My other vehicle is a 1986 toyota 4x4. The toyota doesn't get driven much except during winter (a whooping 3 months) Both have alot of miles. Both are old.
Other than the amount of miles driven per year plus the minimal extra coverage I request (30/60 plus uninsured), I don't see why coverage would be expensive. (Currently paying $1,000 + annually).
Reason I am with AAA is for the tow's. Let's face it, these are not the most reliable vehicles on the market.
Safeco for insurance.
AAA for roadside assistance. You can buy it separate.
My aunt lives right down the road from you. In Arrowhead. I miss the drive down from Green valley lake or down to the flatts. But, I have to agree, get the tow insurance seperate and go with the best price. My insurance is through Geico and runs about 500 a year. They have gone to bat for me a couple of times. Problem in your area is that there are drivers that qualify for reduced insurance. If one of them hits you Good luck. Their insurance company will drag thier feet for months. I get hit in my Jetta and we actually had to file a law suit for them to even return my adjusters calls. No fun
Take care!
