My policies are about to expire with Geico pretty soon. I have been told that Geico no longer has the best rates and suck when you actually have to make a claim with them. That being said anyone have any recommendations on who to switch too, or a agent to call?

Geico was the best rate by far when I was shopping around 6 months ago. And 2 months ago when I was shopping for homeowners Allstate said they couldn’t touch the auto rate Geico was giving me, and Nationwide’s rep actually got snotty and said what Geico had me paying “just had to be a mistake”.

I’ve known several people who have had nothing but great things to say about making a claim with Geico. Of course, none of them were trying to get 10k+ for a totaled 10 year old modded Civic with 200k miles or anything like that.

do you work there or something? i’d want a little background before i did that

i dunno. when i shopped around for a good rate a few years ago, i just bit the bullet

sat down with the phone book and called all the big companies

and stuck with allstate, since they had the best rate in my case.

Have you ever thought about putting the supra on classic/collectors car insurance? I have state farm and went thru this place called harris hill agency for the classic car insurance on my supra for $85 for the whole year with full coverage. That is if you pass all the requirements I can give you more info or talk to 91mr2 joe about it with his Lotus.
