I'm done with All-State. They've gone up every 6 month since I went with them in 2015. It was a little over 500 at first. Now its almost 800/6 months. Then if I pay in full, they discount it to 730. No accidents, no tickets.

We change fairly often. We’re constanlty shopping rates. Jumped back to Progressive this year after using 21st Century for a few years.

Allstate is terrible. Currently with a Liberty Mutual line. No complaints.

switched from progressive to geico in june, saved about $500 a year. Progressive just kept going up for no reason so I decided to check some other places and geico was cheaper for same rates and coverage.

State Farm is the one company Ive always said Id never use no matter how cheap they are. Many years back they really tried to royally frick me after one of their policy holders hit me. Its amazing how their new settlement offer was 10x’s more than their initial offer once an attorney sent them a letter on my behalf. I get going go bat for your client, but they went completely overboard.

We’ve had Liberty Mutual for about 15 years now. They arent the cheapest around, but theyve always taken care of us during the few times we’ve actually needed to use them.

EVERY insurance company is shite. You just have to find the happy medium between high rates and reliability during claim time.

Need to meet the eligibility requirements. FWIW, Geico cheaper for me than USAA.

I change every couple of years if the rates are cheaper or even the same. I don't want my insurance company to get too comfortable with me. That's when the price goes up.

I've heard folks say they are happy with Progressive, but God forbid if you are hit by a another driver with them. One of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had with a insurance company. Ended up getting my insurance involved and let them fight it out.

Left State Farm after 40yrs. 2 wrecks in all that time and they dropped me after my 2nd one last year. Crap on them, with All State now.

I've had Farmer's for 20 years. I'm sure I could shop around and save a few bucks, but I have never had one issue with claims/payments/customer service etc. Extremely pleased. By contrast State Farm was awful on multiple occasions before I switched.

I've had Allstate for as long as I have been driving and the only times my rates have changed is if I moved to a different state or made a change to my policy (changed vehicle, added a driver, etc).
