PhreeZone 20 #1 October 4, 2005 Anyone had any positive or negitive experiences with any of the major insurance companies? I've got insurance now but I'm needing to tack on a few things and figured I'd shop around for prices but don't want to end up with a bargin price but a pain in the ass experience if something happens. Any recommendations on a company that does car and home at a min and possibly life also?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 October 4, 2005 I've never had any claims that I had to deal with so I really can't give you a recomendation but I can point you here. www.insweb.com They will compare quite a few companies for you and at least give you a base to work from.

jumpinfarmer 0 #3 October 5, 2005 I've never been able to have all my insurance combined into one company. Those that I know who do don't seem to have any big complaints until they have a problem and then have the hassle of changing all there insurance at the same time. As for me I would look to a local company for the home ins. Most places have a co. operative insurance company they are normally very competitive on price and have excellent service. For auto I'm not much help, there is only a few companies in NY that will insure me since I have a lot of Ag plated trucks. For life you may be limited to only a few as well because of the skydiving riders. I hope some of this makes sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuFantasma 0 #4 October 5, 2005 If available to you, try State Farm ... not the cheapest bunch on the block, but they deliver across multiple insurance bands... and I have had plenty claim experiences over the last 10 years to do better than even ....Y yo, pa' vivir con miedo, prefiero morir sonriendo, con el recuerdo vivo". - Ruben Blades, "Adan Garcia" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #5 October 5, 2005 I've got Allstate for homeowners and auto right now and I was really surprised to find they were the least expensive of all the places I called. Geico was almost twice as much. Go figure........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyshrek 0 #6 October 5, 2005 One thing i have experienced is never never take the sprint insurance either road sida assistance aor replacement of phone. 1. roadside is 5 dollars a month right. What they don't tell you is after the nearest location, not the one you want to be towed to its an extra 6 dollars a mile. You can get AAA for the same money and they will tow you where you need to go. 2. The phone replacement is 5 dollars a month. On top of that you pay an extra 50 dollars for the phone. So if you lose your phone or it gets damaged after a year technically it will cost you over 100 dollars to get not a new phone but a refurbished one. I did this one they sent me a piece of shit phone had to get another one get this they wanted another 50 dollars big scamhttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifall 0 #7 October 5, 2005 I've been with State Farm for 15 years for car insurance and they have been really good to me. I've never had a problem with them when dealing with claims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vid666 0 #8 October 5, 2005 I carry home/life/car/motorcycle/business insurance through an independent agent with Farmers. And this year I am switching my auto/motorcycle policies - cuz there are simply cheaper options out there and cuz neither me or my wife have anything left on our records that we can be penalized for. I have had Progressive for a few years - had one claim - no problems. I had Allstate for motorcycles for 4 years - no claims, so no idea to judge them - they did send the bill ontime I guess. I had some no-name company for 1 year - no claims, but just like Allstate and all others, they did send their bills on time. my recommendation - make a list of your needs ( policies you want and limits) - attach your BMV record - and mass fax/email all the agencies that you think can help ya. Make sure that you have a statement saying that they are not allowed to pull your credit history without prior talking to you. I did that a few times - it does work. hope this helps. cya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
