Sunday Morning Suprise

Sunday 5 August 2007 | general

This morning I changed our Geico insurance from North to South Carolina. Previously, I’d been fairly pleased with Geico. We were paying just over $300 for six months’ coverage — more than reasonable, I thought. A great deal, in fact.

Moving to SC, however, would bring about higher rates. How much higher?

Geico’s quote was $690 — an increase of 122%!

“Time for insurance shopping,” I thought. First call — Nationwide. $440, or an increase of 41%. Still a significant increase, but certainly more reasonable.

Any suggestions for insurance companies that might offer better rates?

  1. I’ve seen “Progressive” advertized on TV. You might want to look into them. We use “Farmers” but they are not available in SC.

  2. Actually, we found Traveller’s to be great! Just about $40 more than what we’re paying at Geico here in NC.
