I just ran an online quote from Progressive and am astonished to get a quote for almost exact HALF what I have been paying Geico. What has chapped me for years is that I continue to be charged the same collision premium now that I was 8 years ago when I bought the damn thing. I have argued fruitlessly that they are screwing me - they have reduced risk as the value goes down yet I pay the same.

I intend to switch this month when my coverage expires barring some really good reasons I hear from y'all. What ya think?

As far as Im concerned they are the devil. I actually turned down a job offer recently because it was insurance defense. They didnt have a pitch-fork in my size.

If you like to support liberals they are fine. There CEO is a commie type and gives money to a bunch of liberal causes. Try 21st Century, I have them and have been very happy with them. They have replaced some windshield and took care of the Pilot until the other parties insurance paid. They were half of what I was paying with Allstate. If you switch to them let me know first so I can get referral credit (they give a $50 gift card).

Just ran a 21st quote - ranged from 150 to 230 higher per 6 months. Although high by comparison with Progressive it is still much better than Geico. I'll keep them in mind if I drop Progessive. I indicated I was referred so I'll get your referral if i go that way.

What else about them?

Yes, I think the CEO was one of the top three contributors to the Democratic Party during the 2004 campaign, along with George Soros. I think he's probably "in bed" with the moveon.org group too. My impression of Progressive dropped considerably since then. Several years ago, I called them for a rate, they were considerably higher than Farm Bureau, which I've had for over 12 years.
