Well, my car insurance had to be renewed recently, and I was with eSurance.  My 6 month premium was $415 (which I thought was descent).  I have never been in an accident and my last ticket was several years ago.  So I get a notice from eSurance that my new renewal premium was $563.  That’s a ~35% increase, and I haven’t been in an accident or anything?!

I called (quite a few times) to make sure there wasn’t something incorrect on my driving record, and there wasn’t.  The only thing they could say to me was “The premiums have increased in your state.”, I asked, “What’s the average increase?”, to which she replied “about 9%”.  I almost flipped!  “So why is my premium being raised by more than a third?”.  “I don’t know sir.”  PFFT, know this, I left eSurance.

I went online and got quotes, and eventually went with Geico.  Surprisingly, Geico’s premium for me came out to $260 for 6 months!!! That’s less than half of eSurance! WoOhoO!!  Same converage, same deductibles.  Same everything, with online paperwork too!

And I would like to say that the Geico customer service rep was delightful.  I tried to leave a good word with her supervisor, but that individual was not in yet (I called at like 8:40am).  She said “If you’re please with our service, please let someone know about it”.  I’m a man of my word, so that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Geico saved me 58% ($303) on my car insurance.  Highly recommended.
