Thank you, Don. I wasn't sure what that meant...

 

Hi Colorado,

I am sorry that I didn't think others wouldn't know what it meant. I have been involoved in sales/financing for a long time and I picked up the slang in my early years in the business. It was my mistake for using the word to begin with.

Thanks

Don

 

RE: Strong as death.

As I stated earlier my wife and are in our late 40s, nice area, etc. Both have spotless driving records - my last ticket was about 15 years ago and last accident was more than 25 years ago so they aren't even on the radar anymore. She's the same. Credit is very good too. All of this points to good insurance rates for us, or at least it should. Still, I found Geico and Wawanesa to be as much as 30% lower than what others quoted, included State Farm, Progressive, 20th Century, etc.

Shopping for insurance is free and you can save quite a bit if you look around from time to time.

Wawanesa isn't even a regional insurance company- they only offer auto insurance in two states, but one is a very large state.

Thanks for the tip.

Don

 

I kinda figured you were in the finance or insurance business and used that phrase often. Thanks for the clarification. BTW, I pay about $1250/yr from American Family, 500 deductible for the Xfire and a '96 Silverado 1/2 ton. No accident or tickets for many years. I have my homeowners thru them too. I'm not strong as death, maybe strong as severe pneumonia or something like that

 

I almost guessed that you were 'strong as death', your policy pricing is great!

Don

 

I get a good deal because my agent's parents were my parent's agents. My family has been with this American Family agency for 31 years and now 2 generations. Longevity bonus, maybe? The original owners of this agency gave it to their daughter when they retired. I basically get the best rate available for my age; American Family has a slightly lower rate for drivers over 55. I stick with her because of a) the pricing and b) it's nice to have a family connection in this day and age where everybody is always switching companies be it insurance, cell phone, cable vision, etc. Just lucky, I guess

most states have a rule against a company refusing to sell someone insurance. i know the eight states i was licensed in did. however, they are permitted to price a policy unattractively, which is usually what happens when it's a risk they don't want to take.

price it high and the customer/bad risk will go away on their own.

 

I must say that Geico has been very good to my wife and I. We pay 926 annual for full coverage on our 05 crossfire, 96 mustang conv., 05 durango, 07 kawi 900 LT, and 07 Suz GZ 250. I am by no means rich but we have never gotten tickets and have decent credit. Not bragging but they did us good. My wife had 2 wrecks 5 years ago and they never dropped us and were very easy to deal with in the process of repair. And no I don't work for them. Cheers and have a sam adams

 

Sir,

To my knowledge Geico writes 6 month policies, are you sure on your pricing; 926 for annual? You have the cheapest insurance I have ever heard of for the amount of vehicles you have, if it is an annual price, shhhhhh, don't let Geico know they have made a mistake.

Awesome.

Don

 

You are correct about the 6 months. I pay $462 and change every 6 months, I am a federal government employee which may give me a cheaper rate, Gov Empl Insu Co. GEICO. You probably already knew that though. For the Gov I am a police officer, may also lower my rates. I'm not saying they are the best for everyone, just 4 me.
Cheers and have a sam adams.

 

Hey buddy,

I just had a Sam Adams- it was good. You have a great rate on your vehicle insurance for all of your rolling stock, I hope you keep the rates for many years!

Cheers

Don

 

I'm using esurance, it costs me about 60% of geico.
