Once Again, The Praises Of Progressive

I have my car insurance through Progressive, which, all lame TV commercials aside, has meant excellent service and the best prices around. Not to mention their web site is exceptionally comprehensive and simple to use - I can't ask for much more.

My homeowner's insurance company, State Farm, called me up today and wanted to see if they could save me some money on my auto insurance. So I went through the gamut of questions, told them all of my driving history and such, at least according to what Progressive looks at, and gave them my coverage numbers so they could give me an apples-to-apples comparison.

With all of the discounts and such for multi-policy and safe driver and all that, State Farm was still $600/year more expensive than Progressive.

Once again, I sing the praises of Progressive auto insurance. If your policy is coming up, I couldn't recommend more that you check them out. It will be well worth your time.

Had Farmers... They kinda sucked and were expensive. Finally after my car ignited and was totalled, Farmers offered me about $800 less than low blue book (after my deductible) and I decided to switch... I switched to progressive due to their commercials which promised to save you money... Which they did... But their service left A LOT to be desired. It was back in my just married days and I was still trying to figure out how to live on my own and pay my own bills and such... I forgot to pay progressive for 30 days. They cancelled my policy and refused to reinstate without having to fill out all of the forms again. Absolutely ridiculous. After going round and round with them, I was pissed.... Moved to Geico and couldn't have been happier. Not only did Geico save us even more money than Progressive, but they had amazing customer service. Very friendly, responsive and easy to work with.

Recently, I got a telemarketting call from Country Insurance. Normally I'm not one to respond to telemarketters, but this guy just asked for 15 minutes of my time to see if they could save me money on insurance. I talked to them and they were able to save me $300/yr on car insurance (let alone home and life insurance). So, we switched again. Haven't had to deal with any claims or anything yet, but have heard nothing but good things from people that I know with Country Insurance.

To summarize, Farmers sucks, Progressive was worse, Geico was AWESOME (as far as Insurance companies go), and the jury is still out on Country Insurance.
