Insurance Recommendations?

duk · 04-12-2010, 08:53 PM

Looking for a great insurance company in terms of customer service, turnaround and price.

I currently have Farmers which isn't bad but looking for options. I heard AAA is good and so is Mercury?

USAA if you are eligible. They're fantastic.

Amica is also excellent.

Allstate hasn't dropped me.

FWIW, progressive is horrible on aftermarket parts reimbursement

they're all slimy. go with the cheapest major brand carrier, save money, and don't wreck.

Geico has been great for me.

Ameriprise through your Costco membership, if you have one. They even beat Wawanesa who are known to provide the cheap rates. No hassle if you get in an accident too.

State Farm has been amazing to me. Their claims and repair stuff is incredibly easy! Pretty much 1-2 phone calls for information and it is all paid for and taken care of!

They are really cheap with multiple vehicles/policies too! I pay $140 a month for full coverage on 3 vehicles and townhouse insurance.

That's cheap but that's because where you live. You would prolly pay double if you lived in LA.

Probably. Especially cheap since I am 25 and Iowa has no helmet law for motorcycles! (maybe that means I am just less likely to make a claim...)

State Farm is #1 ranked almost throughout the country for claims, agents, & service. USAA is good too if you can get them, Country/Liberty Mutual are decent as well.

I'm in the industry.

Personal experience: Ameriprise took two years to pay me $1 after their insured flipped a uturn into me on a motorcycle. They lied, made fraudulent remarks in their files, tried to not pay for rehab, tried to not pay fair values for my bike, dicked me around enough I had to get an attorney and threaten to sue them...... TWO YEARS.

DO NOT go through Ameriprise and if you already are get your business AWAY from them!!!
