If the other companies had more claims from their customers, then they'd feel the need to raise their rates across the board, and not just for individuals.

Ah, interesting.

Perhaps the Gecko is just insuring safer drivers.

That's actually a good guess, based on what I read earlier. Progressive appears to be more accommodating to strikes on your record; Geico may drive away anyone who isn't a safe driver by raising their rates too much.

Strangely, when I compare the breakdowns, it seems that Progressive has cheaper comprehensive/collision coverage but more expensive liability coverage. Somehow, the imbalance works out in Geico's favor. (Huh, wouldn't that support your theory that they would raise the rates across the board for a higher rate of claims?)

Or else he's working for a lot less than that smooth-voiced All State dude.

Well, geckos aren't unionized.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So far.

I have to say, I don't think I could ever buy Geico insurance because of the idiocy of their ads. I want my insurance company to be grown-ups, you know? Not a lizard and a cave man.

Possibly I am not in their advertising demographic.

A gecko once bit my sister. Also, I understand they are partial to carrots.

Ha, I love their ads. I used to say that when I finally had a car, I would get Geico just because of the ads. Of course, I discovered they were not the cheapest to insure my old-ass Sentra with minimal coverage, but they are, apparently, the cheapest to insure my new-ass Mazda6 with good coverage. State Farm, which is who I have now, gave me the most expensive online quote of all (I would probably get a lower rate if I actually asked an agent, but I can't imagine it would be as low as Geico's, if their base quote for a new customer is close to $400 higher).

Well, I've stopped feeling like I'm freezing while the room temperature's in the 70s and I'm under two blankets. Also, 6 rolaids and a bowl of bread pudding seems to be exactly what my upset stomach needed.

My car's insured through State Farm. I also have my renters insurance through them, and I get a discount for multiple accounts.

I don't have renter's insurance. I have thought about getting it, but I don't know how it works. My main experience with insurance has been with USPS, when my insurance was a waste of money because when the things I shipped were lost and/or damaged, they didn't do shit.

Hah, yes they are. Back in the day before they opened the gates to all comers, GEICO stood for Government Employees Insurance Company. I'm guessing that also has some impact on their risk pool, actually.

Get it. Especially if you can group it with your auto coverage. Seriously, get it.

On the other hand, that is a total scam. IMandyourE, apparently.
