That's who I have now and pay about $100 a month with the z and a liability only beater Honda civic. Thought about looking at other options though.

Me I have had the same policy since 1982 with Allstate and never any problems with being dropped. I have had tickets, wrecks, boat and house repairs due to damage. They did not raise my rates or drop me. When Katrina, Ike and they rest you did not hear them denying claims and dropping people for no reason.
Almost itentical story here. Had Allstate since my learner's permit in '82. All the growing pains later, wrecked two cars at 18 and 21, speeding tickets in my Mitsu Starion, etc. still with them today.

That's pretty good. I'm at $70/mo. comprehensive everything for the Z and '12 Accord. Homeowner with them too though. I'm sure with enough searching, I could find something a few bucks cheaper but am afraid of the fine print. At least this way I know if the house burns down with the cars in the garage along with it, everything will be covered.

As for the OP, if I got pulled over, I'd rather hand the cop my plastic Allstate card rather than a "General" card I just printed on my inkjet last night.

Nationwide chanrges me ordinary rates for my Z---$60.00 for full coverage. But I have a clean record and I'm old.

Rates are all relative to location as well, not just driving record, age, etc. I've lived in a half a dozen different states and have seen rates fluctuate significantly after updating policy zip code. I had progressive for 8 years and have had 0 speeding tickets and 0 claims on my record. Recently (last few months), a good friend of mine said I should look into Geico, as his rates were cut nearly in half. If I hadn't heard it from a guy i trust, I wouldn't even have checked into it. I called Geico and was given a rate quote with the identical policy specifications nearly 40% less then progressive. Being a loyal customer, I contacted progressive to see if they could stay competitive. The CSR was very professional, but informed me that they do not match rates. I had no choice but to switch to Geico.
I am sure many folks out there have had similar situation with various insurance companies. Moral of the story, dont assume you are getting the best. When we get comfortable, we get lazy. Nothing wrong with challenging the status quo. It's good for business and development.

Happy New Year Everyone!

FYI. Geico has high levels of turn over because they treat there staff like crap. They go as far as limiting the time you can use the restroom. Its what we experts call a "turn and burn" company.

Default Companies that treat employees badly

Will treat customers badly. One of the few things this hard head has learned in 50 plus years is to not do business with people who mistreat their employees or their family.
