O/T- Car and Truck Insurance

STAY AWAY FROM GEICO!!!!! !
They are the best insurance company to have as long as you don't have to deal with them.

Try contacting USAA and see if your eligible. I have had GREAT luck with them with both vehicle and home owners insurance/content insurance. They beat Progressive, Allstate, State Farm, GEICO, and just about every other insurance company when it comes to price and service.

Becoming eligible is easy...if you have ever served in any of the armed forces (including the Reserves), you're in. If you can talk someone (a parent, a sibling, or even a friend)who has served into it, they can sign up for a USAA credit card (that they never even have to use), add your name to the card, and you're in. Then cancel the credit card. Once you are a member, your kids are eligible, also. (and their kids...)

They insured my house, also, when I lived in town. I would still be with them, but they won't cover class 10 properties (I'm too far from a fire department)

They also do Life and Health insurance, investment planning, etc.

And every year that I can remember, they've sent a refund check in the mail right before Christmas. When their claims for the year are less than they planned for, they give a percentage of your premium back.

Have you used any of their investment programs? I have thought about it, but not sure what I want to attempt to get into. I don't have any bank accounts with them or credit cards because I have more than I need now...just need money to put in them LOL. At the current time, I have my "significant other" and one of her daughters on my policy. I have a sister that is having problems getting automobile insurance that she can afford that will give her good service. I didn't know about her being able to go under me. I will have to check into this. Thanks for the tip.

The only "problem" if you could call it that I have had with USAA is when I tried to get car insurance for a vehicle when I first got back here in Jan/Feb 03. They told me I was delinquent on my Vauxhall Astra that I sold prior to leaving England and sent them a copy of the policy and transaction prior to leaving. It seems that the different departments were slow in communication over the Christmas Holidays. Once this was sorted, no more worries.

They also are offering the best rates for new and used vehicle purchases at this time other than the manufacturer's 0% on approved credit. Each time I have looked at a prospective new(er) vehicle I call them and am told that I am pre-approved for $XX,XXX and to call them when I buy with the details where to send the check to. This makes buying a little easier...especially since the last loan I had was paid off in Sep 94, and my credit buying history isn't the best or the highest.

later days mate,

Rates were the best I found, coverage is good. Only 1 claim (ice storm damage) and they settled quickly. They were about the same price on home and vehicle as FB but about 1/3 more coverage (at a level I couldn't get from FB)

I have a company called Auto-Owners I had to use it once so far on our van and all went fine. P.S. That body shop manager always liked State Farm,but I think he is changing his tune since his basement flooded twice and they are going to cancel him. There all Great just don't dare use them.
