I just saved money

[pontifex]

and it wasn't through Geico.

My car insurance was a little over $1400 a year. It is now a little over $700 a year and its with higher amounts on coverage than my old one was.

WOOT!

It pays to do a lot of shopping around.
An afternoon on the internet can often save 25%+

Just out of curiousity, what company did you switch from and which company did you switch to?

actually, the insurance agent i go through called me and said she found a better deal for me.

on the phone she quoted me $107 a month for 9 months. after i got there and she asked me more questions and stuff, she got it even lower to $81 a month for 9 months. they apparently only bill for 9 months out of the year or something.

I'm about to dump drive as well. The free rate quote from gieco said it would be about $500 less a year. Anyone know how accurate those quotes usually are?

I saved 20% switching from Geico to esurance. Yeeehaw

 

[RossMAN]

Mine is around $53/mo for full coverage

 

[pulse8]

I pay ~$90 for full coverage with a $250 deductible.

Did you actually switch to esurance? How's that goin' for ya?

Maybe it is just me, but I'm skeptical of all these super-low rates people are hunting for and willing to switch companies for. I've had State Farm since I started driving (23 now) and they've always performed great when necessary. Now that I no longer have anything on my record, I'm paying $160/month for my GTO daily driver & 97 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon. I've gotten quotes on other cars and overall they're quite reasonable; the GTO was actually one of the lower quotes

This is with 100% full coverage on both vehicles, with $1M underinsured/uninsured driver coverage.

I've never had any BS with them and my agent (in the town I used to live in) always responds to e-mails very quickly. He is very helpful and doesn't mind me bugging him a lot, or at least he's nice about it

Can you get that from your discount e-insurance company? I'm curious

That's the first I've heard of that. Did you downgrade your insurance? I've ALWAYS seen people get a higher quote from Progressive than Geico.

No, actually...I got a better plan from Geico and saved like 450 dollars over Progressive.
