I pay $581 for full coverage with $500 deductible (prolly should lower this) for '01 Honda Odyssey and '02 S2000. No accidents, wife has a couple tickets. Been with Geico for 5+ years and love them - so far.

WTF? Mine is $560 but I do have a clean record. I'm using Farmers. I get a break for 2 cars and house, clean record and no claims.

Geico is "OK" until you screw up once. My wife got in a very small accident with our Toyota Land Cruiser...she dented a fender on someone's flatbed trailer. We fixed the Land Cruiser on our own tab. My insurance premium went from $1200/yr to $15,000 per year!!! I called them to ask if there had been some mistake, and they assured me that there was none. In Arizona, you can not be dropped by your insurance Co. , but they got around that by jacking up the price unreasonably. BTW, we both had clean records prior to that. I will never use Geico again. I had been with them for 15 yrs. I have Progressive now, and am very happy with them.
Holy crap! I'm checking tommorow with USAA since I'm eligible to join. I have heard these things about GEICO many times, but I've had nothing but good experiences with them, so have stuck with them for this long. Always good to shop around though!

All of these price quotations are meaningless, unless someone happens to live in the same area. When I moved from Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area, my rates dropped about 10%. (Note that I do not live IN San Francisco.)

I've been with State Farm for 11 years, and have always had great service. (Except when they tried to use bondo on my Lexus SC400 door.) I thought about switching from them a few times to chase the ever-cheaper Brand X car insurance. When it came down to it, however, I found that the price difference wasn't worth the unknowns. (No agent, claim's process unknown, no guarantee the rate wouldn't spike.)

I've got my homeowners and auto insurance with them; they give me a "multi-line" discount. In addition, since I've been with them for so long (with a great record of no-fault accidents...not so great with others at fault), they guarantee that they will not drop me if serious things do happen. (Not sure how that works, but suspect they'd raise the rates so much I'd want to leave!!! )

I am 36. I have a 2002 Acura TL Type-S and a 2001 S2000. I'm paying $1,020 every six months. I have a 100 Comprehensive, and a $250 collision. My coverages start at bodily injury at $100,00 for each person, $300,000 for each accident; property damage is at $50,000 for each accident. I also have rental coverage in the event of loss of use.

Driving record: Spotless. (I almost hate to type that, as I fear it might bring bad karma!)
