I still check around every few years just to be sure. Sometimes the lowest 3 years ago is now higher, sometimes no but being 50% higher really takes the cake. I think I am going to perform annual checks.

I recently spoke with a gentleman in the lock and security business. His house is far from paid for, his vehicles are expensive to operate and maintain. He told me his property and casualty insurance agent has lived in a PAID for home and has driven PAID for cars for the last twenty years. After he shared this information, I asked him a question; What do you think this means to you and I?? He replied, it means the insurance agents and insurance companies are getting wealthy off the backs of the little people. And so it is....... |

Rates can be based on zip codes so your results may vary. Each state has it's own government department that regulates insurance.
Multiple policy discounts (home, auto, life) is usually your biggest bang for the bucks. |

What I DO question is, why is it after I present you with quotes from your competitors, you don't back down? I think of going into Best Buy and showing them an ad for say $10 less for the same item. They back down and match the price. What I don't know is how one underwriter can see one thing and the other sees something else different. So what else controls them? Do they look at different criteria? When I sell something, I match the competitor's price or at least shop them and come close. I can see running promotion to get customers but some of the quotes that nate300d got are pretty far apart.

I just got off the phone with a Liberty Mutual rep. Liberty mutual quoted 2x what the current provider quoted for the same policy. At least this is 1/3 less than the previously mentioned inde quoted me for the same policy that I have. There is no sense to be made of what one will get quoted. The worst part of this is that amounts to a compelling case to go back to the company I’m pissed at. |

Could it be that this friend of yours has not invested wisely? Could he have blown money away? Could the agent have gotten an inheritance? What does he make vs what the agent makes? What does he spend vs the agent? Have you done a proper comparison or is this one of the "I don't know but a friend who......." things?

For your 2nd sentence, "usually" is the operative term but not always true. I've tried and dangled the opportunity to pick up multiple policies to make a savings overall and it usually doesn't add up. That's why i use different insurers for home and auto.

This is the exact same issue with health insurance and why the ACA came about as there is no incentive for insurance companies to compete except for in an upward nature – that is by increasing costs to the consumer. As an aside, if it were only $10 i would not care. Most of these are anywhere from ~$150 to $1,100 + increase for the exact same thing. |

Don't take it as personal. It's business. I have to do a lot of things I don't like for the same reasons. If I can find a better route, I'm there. Till then, I have to stay with that same crap, like it or not. I can't see spending double just because I don't like you.

My building has brass and gold fittings on the doors and in the elevators and Italian marble floors through out. A $50,000 glass hand made Italian chandelier greets clients on the first floor of the building. My receptionist was a playmate before she came to work here. She brings me my morning Starbucks coffee and my daily Wall Street journal so I can see how my company's stock is performing. I read the paper while sipping coffee while seated at my fifty foot solid rosewood conference table. My Grumman Gulfstream Jet aircraft awaits fully fueled and on the ready to take me to any destination I desire at a moment's notice. My Chauffeur stands by with my Bentley automobile to take me to dinner at an exclusive members only dinner club along with certain select guests of mine. Night life for you, OTH, involves ordering a pizza and renting a movie from Red Box. You aren't even aware that I exist and that is how I WANT IT. Oh, I almost forgot, don't forget to send in your monthly insurance premium payment, my wife wants a newer and larger swimming pool. Last edited by HuskyMan; 03-11-2014 at 06:52 PM. |
