Insurance (Sigh):
09/12/2007
I admit that when it comes to insurance it's all pot roast stew to me. You can change the amounts of different vegetables but in the end, it's still stew.
Today I changed insurers. I was doing business with Allstate, a respected name for the last 5 years. I've had no problems with them (but then, I haven't had a claim either). Yet two things changed that led me to the little green lizard guy GEICO.
My insurance agent was right down the road, less than two miles away. This was handy in that as a cash and carry kind of guy, I'd drop in, pay 6 months at a time and with papers in hand, know it was covered. Car insurance is important, you want to know it's there and have someone handy if you should have questions or actually need it use it. Admittedly by driving across town I could have kept Allstate but the agent also no longer accepted cash payments at the office. Lastly for someone who does as little driving as I do, with a clean record Allstate was charging to much.
I likely would have stayed with Allstate if I could have continued to pay cash and my agent hadn't moved, GEICO sweetened the deal by saving me 20 bucks to boot.
