I LOVE my state farm. They have been nothing but great to me. I’ve had them myself for 10 years now, and my family has used them for around 15+ years. I am paying about $250/month for my Jetta (full coverage), my Golf (full coverage - left it on since I was hoping to get it running again soon… probably pulling it off once we get the house), My R6 (full coverage), the wife’s Jeep (full coverage), Hospital Income (I get paid for every day I’m in the hospital if I get hurt/sick/etc), and home owners/renters insurance. A few years ago I managed to total 3 cars (2 of which being the same car) in a month. None of which were my fault (although the other party ran on the first accident), but my rates never increased at all. My agent is very good and remembers me by name anytime I go in or call. I can’t imagine I will EVER leave State Farm. ---

Everyone at work and their brother swears by em so I’ll give em a shot. I have never had to file a claim in the 8 years I’ve been driving so hopefully that streak continues. If not, I’ll check out some of the other ones if that time comes. It’s not like I’m locked in. ---

It’s not like I’m locked in. I had GEICO for a long time. If they didn’t raise my premium for no reason, I will be sticking with them. You did save a bunch by switching to them so I am not going to worry too much. ---

Is that for 6 months? One car? Good to hear allstate is cheapest. That’s what I have for my cars. ---

All insurance companies are crooks, but Geico will sucker you in with a cheap rate and then skullfuck you the moment anything happens, whether it be a ticket, accident, or act of God. Liberty Mutual here. I pay a lot for one car and no record, but they’re not as crooked as others. Eh. ---

I think a lot of it depends on age to. I just got out of that dreaded young driver category most insurances have so that helped a lot on All State and I’m sure it contributed to the Geico price because when I did a quote with Geico last year, it was over $100. ---

I’ve had gieco for a while now. Never had to file a claim and have shopped around a few times with various agents and none of them have ever come close to gieco’s price. ---

A few years ago I got an online quote from Geico and they wanted what I pay for a year for 6 months of coverage. Clean record, no tickets, no accidents. Ill stick with Kemper. $136 a month for two vehicles. ---

weird. when I was 16, geico was the cheapest insurance by far. every year I was with them, they got more expensive. I dropped them less then a year ago because they were pretty much raping me. Full coverage, no record and no accidents, ever. I was paying $240 a month just for my camaro… switched to state farm and it cut my rates in half… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/geico-holy/257281.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/geico-holy/257281.md?page=3)
