What auto insurance do you have?
« on: June 13, 2018, 09:55:59 PM »
I have Geico, but my rates just went up (something about NYS law change that took away certain discounts).

Can anyone recommend an insurance company that they are satisfied with the rates?
When I shopped around 6 months ago, Geico seemed to be the cheapest by far when compared to other companies.

I got bounced by Allstate after a major accident 12k payout. Geico rate was double what I was paying Allstate. Now its more than 20% raise because the recent accident surcharge goes up as well. Was paying $265 to Allstate.  Also added the new car.

Same here. $180 a month for two cars. Full coverage. 100k/300k. $100 comprehensive deductible. $500 collision deductible, but with $500 in fund, so $0 effective deductible. It stays in the fund if it's not your fault, as well as for any other accidents that year. Accident forgiveness is included as well. Plus car rental, and roadside assistance, towing etc.

Crazy part is, even at a $12K payout, you would have been better off not reporting the accident and paying out of pocket
