My insurance for this year was $1700 for the Scion (Full coverage), the
'89 Mazda (Limited Collision, no deductible) and the Supra (LC, no
deductible).
Next year I get a 'loyalty discount', which would bring it to $1100.
Progressive quoted $479 for 6 months, and this includes FULL Collision on
the Supra. That's <$1000 for better coverage, and also include Loan Payoff
that would bridge the gap between what I owe on the Scion and what they
would pay if it were totalled.
Just wondering if anyone has any dealings with Progressive. (I've already
signed up. My monthly premiums with the old company were murder!)
Gieco is *STILL* not allowed to write policies in Mass because they have
this nasty habit of dropping people after one total loss or 3 collisions.

Dunno.. I'm with the lizard people.. I'm paying about $600 + -
a year for full coverage with a $1000 deductable for the 05
corolla.
Dunno how old you are, or the driving record you have..
I've got a good driving record, and I'm 51, so I just got a price
drop last year after passing 50..
Dropping bad drivers? Can't say that I blame them. I'd drop em
too after 3 wrecks or a total, if it was their fault..
As a good driver, I don't feel as I should help subsidize the ones
that are bad drivers, and that is about what we would have if they
kept the bad drivers with the company. Everyone usually gets
to help pay for their blunders, as their rate increases will
rarely keep up with their damage costs.
I'll tell you who I'll never do business with again. ALLSTATE!!!
What a bunch of sleazy bastards they are. Don't trust them.
They will quote you a low rate at first to get you sucked in,
and then they will either start jacking your rates, or decide
you are a higher risk due to say your credit rating, and place
you in a county mutual where they bend you over.
They did this to me, and I had ***ZERO*** problems with
my credit. They decided I was a higher risk because I manage
my money well enough to not need or use credit very often.
In other words, according to allstate, the greedy hands people,
if you ain't in debt, you ain't living.. Sorry bastards.. I hate their
guts, and will crap on their company every chance I get.
I fired them, and went with the lizard peope.
They have been *much* better than the greedy hands people.

Geico does NOT drop people after a total loss.
A friend of mine's son totaled his nearly new KIA and they did not
drop him.
His rate did go up, but that would be expected.

THey did when I was living in CT 20 years ago. They were dropping people
left and right!
I guess they realized if they kept doing it, they wouldn't *HAVE* any
customers!

$1700 ???? Are you in one of the high theft cities, or what? For my 2002
Tacoma ($25K purchase price), I never paid more than about $650 for full
coverage, $500 deductible. I shopped around and got the best deal from my
agent, who put me with Traveler's.

Don't you watch TV? It pays to switch companies. I had The Harford and
switched to Geico to save $365. Then I switched to State Farm and saved
another $415. The switch to Progressive saved me nearly $500. My new
company is going to send me a $20 check. LOL

We haven't been able to. For the last 3-5 years all we had was 3-4
companies, and the Insurance Commission set the rates.
We have such idiots driving here in Mass a lot of companies didn't want to
write policies, couple that with a high theft rate in certain areas
(HOLYOKE) and there weren't a lot of choices.
See my new post...

I used them once. Was with them a couple years too until they raised
their rates two fold over what I was paying for no reason at all that
I could think of. Switched to AIG, liked them... then tried out
Unitrin and liked them too. I've been with Mercury now for a while
and while their auto draft happens whenever they feel like it, they
are cheap and provide great coverage. This is in California by the
way.
I did just do a quote for Progessive -- looks like they have good
rates again so I might switch but so far very happy with Mercury for
the most part.

No deductable costs alot more, a 10 yr old car should have 500-1000
deductable
