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!
