Switching Car Insurance Coverage
Posted on 9/6/16 at 10:45 am
Posted on 9/6/16 at 10:45 am
I'm wanting to switch my insurer from State Farm to Geico this month in order to save ~$90.00/month..
I know to go ahead and purchase my Geico policy before canceling State Farm. My 6 month coverage period with State Farm ends September 30th.. What's the best way to go about canceling this policy? Just not renewing/paying? Anybody ever done this and run into any fees?
First time doing this so any advice is appreciated.
TIA

did you make sure geico ran your clue reports yet? lots of times people switch when they get their "quote" but the quote didn't run clue and show any claims or violations.
in any case, bind geico eff. 9/30 and cancel/non renew state farm 9/30.

I haven't. Is this something that will show before I purchase? Thanks for this info.

No. There will be no fees.
You can either switch now, call SF and they will refund you the prorated portion of your premium, or like Chad said, switch on the 30th.
You're getting the same coverage for $100/less a month?

depends, i'm not extremely sure w/ geico's quoting system. if you have accidents or violations, you better have put correct info and not hiding anything when doing an online quote. It will pull it up sooner or later, don't get roped in on an inaccurate quote.

A little less than that, but yes. Not entirely sure what factors are affecting the difference.. I am one year older and have better credit, so maybe that's it?

Nothing in the last 5 years to my knowledge.

What are your limits?

100k/300k for BI and Uninsured Motorist
50k for Property Damage Liability
I'd be paying $86 more for the same if I stayed with SF..

Good limit.
I don't know if you want a personal umbrella, but it might be worth putting the savings to higher limits. An umbrella will not attach till 300k combined single limit or 300/500/100

Don't cancel the SF policy until the Gecio policy is issued. All policies start/end at 12:01 am. You can backdate cancel the SF policy to the Gecio policy effective date. Single or multi car policy? Not sure if applicable in your state, make sure Gecio is quoting stackable um coverage. Most multi car SF policies have stackable um coverage. As stated above, increase property damage liability to 100k. You may need it if you're ever in a multi car at fault accident.

I used to run clue reports it was more to see if you had teenagers in household than anything

Switch that UM to UMEO. With UM of 100/300, you'd save probably $30 a month by switching it to UMEO alone.

Clue = comprehensive loss underwriting exchange. It is a report that shows prior loss history along with vehicles and drivers involved in claims. It's used to price for risks. The reports mainly used do find potential young drivers is a DADS report.
