Does Anyone Have Geico or Progressive Car Insurance

cuddlesmama — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:16:31 GMT

I am looking for new car insurance. They went up $200.00 from last year (Arbella) I did the online Geico and Progressive Insurance companies just to see how much it would be and they were $300.00 less. I just don't know anyone who has these insurances and how they are working out for them.Any comments would be helpful.

I switched last year from Nationwide to Progressive and have been VERY satisfied! My car insurance rate was at least $ 300.00 less per year. Also I needed towing service 2 times and they were right on the ball helping me out.

Have had Geico for 15+ years. No problems, no big increases in yearly preminums. They give the 15% (?) discount for Covid19, not driving.

I also have Geico, have for about 10 years. No problems at all. My car was hit in the parking lot at my apartment building and the other drivers insurance (also Geico) paid for all the repairs to my vehicle without issue. I was pleased with their service. I also got the 15% discount due to Covid-19.

When I moved to Florida in 2018, I needed to find a new auto insurance carrier because the one used in Illinois did not operate in Florida. I used an insurance agent as I had used in Illinois because I had not moved yet. The agent found Progressive, stating it was the least expensive for me. The amount for the Progressive was almost 3 times higher for a 6 month policy than my Illinois policy. The excuse given was insurance in Florida is just more expensive. I paid it, but have switched to State Farm after checking around on my own. SF is still higher than my insurance from Illinois, but about half of what Progressive was. I found out that this agent in Florida only deals with insurance companies that list with them. Not a benefit for the consumer. I think your $$ will depend on where you live, your age, type of vehicle, driving history, etc.

I was hit by someone with Geico. What a mess. Thank goodness I had called the police and the other party was given a ticket. I would NEVER use Geico. I did have Progressive and no problems. After a few years they started raising rates like all the rest. Best of luck

I've used Progressive for 6 years. They are great. Geico wanted to charge me 3 times as much! Plus, the agent at Geico was so rude!! I used to check around all the time to see who was cheapest, but since I've had Progressive they've stayed about the same price the whole time!

I've had Progressive for 8 yrs. No claims and no issues. They were consistently the lowest BUT...

MI changed statutory requirements in July. I was told I would need a new policy as an update was not possible. What a headache. Then I was offered other products to "bundle". Sales pitch. No thanks.

I will be shopping around shortly!

I have had Geico for about 12 years. I noticed that the cost of my insurance has gone up witn my age. It has been very gradual where you don't notice.

I had Progressive for a couple of years and had no problems with them. I also didn't file any claims, so I can't speak to that process. They had a deal with Enterprise that offered a pretty decent deal on rental cars when traveling.

Due to the change in Michigan's insurance laws, I've gone back to Safeco. I couldn't drop full PIP because my medical insurance isn't a qualified plan (to drop the full PIP) and Safeco gave me a substantial discount if I paid for a full year.

I totally agree. I have had Geico for sometime now. I had a person plow into me and Geico covered the whole thing in a very timely manner. I also switched and have my home insurance with them. .......for a way better price

@cuddlesmama try AAA for your auto insurance. I have it and got a pretty good discount this year because I agreed to have electronic mail versus paper mail. If you hve your homeowners insurance and auto insurance with same company you can save as well. Any tme I have called AAA all customer service reps have been cordial and most helpful. Another tip...if you or anyone if your family was or is in the U.S. service such as army, navy etc., try calling USAA Insurance which is run by the armed services and insures armed services personnel and their families only. USAA has an excellent reputation in the insurance field and carries all kinds of insurance. Good luck

ed services and includes only armed services personnel and their families as eligible for insurance. USAA is

I've been with Geico for close to 30 years. I've had a few calls the last few years for roadside assistance (dead battery) and the service was excellent. I've had no tickets. Last year I paid $144 @ month quarterly for two vehicles. This year in June I got my new bill and it's $208 for the same. That's after the 15% discount. To me, that's not gradual. I'm guessing it went up due to my age and I drive what's considered to be a sports car. In December when my policy is due again I plan to shop around for a better price.

@Xivambala

I almost had a stroke when I moved to Florida from Northern Virginia 42 years ago! LOL insurance here is no fault which is why it's high. I paid more for straight liability insurance then I paid for full coverage back in Virginia!

We've had progressive now for a couple of years since buying a new car. It seems to keep going up for no particular reason but when I checked other policies the only other one that came close was Geico. We pay 700+ every six months for two cars, full coverage.

LOL @Andreatoo I don't know how Progressive does their ratings. They were charging me $830 for one car for 6 months. I have always kept my coverage levels the same through moving.
