Geico

I have had car insurance through Geico pretty much continuously for about ten years or so now.

I've never had cause to complain.

Turns out, that's only because I've never had cause to contact them, other than to renew when a credit card expires and such things.

Then I was in an accident.

It was a minor fender-bender. Geico was fast, friendly, courteous, all that, when I reported the accident. They gave me, and the other driver no hassle and promptly paid out the damages, which came to a grand total of about $150.

Then, they promptly raised my rates by over $100/month. Yeah, that's reasonable. Sure.

If I had known they were going to do that, I would not have reported the accident.
Or, come to think of it, done business with them in the first place.

we were with Unitrin for 7 years, and last year we shopped around and Farmers was less expensive. When I totaled the Saturn our rates stayed the same, and adding the BMW only raised the rate by $20. I would be happy to refer you to my guy. He is pretty awesome.

we have full coverage on the BMW, liability on the truck, and renters insurance and we pay $111. I don't know if he has any sort of referral program, but let him know that I sent you.
